Chapter 35

• As they reached the house, the low rumble of luxury cars approached, their polished exteriors gleaming under the fading sunlight. Aria’s eyes widened in shock as a convoy of sleek vehicles rolled to a stop. The unmistakable aura of power filled the air, sending a chill down her spine.
• Dante Mancini stepped out of the lead car, his presence commanding and intimidating. He exuded an air of authority that made the world around him seem to shrink. Aria felt a wave of fear wash over her, while Zander and Daniel stood in silence, bowing their heads in respect—an instinctive reaction to the mafia king’s arrival.
• Dante’s gaze locked onto Aria as he walked toward her, a predatory glint in his eyes. She felt her heart race, a mix of anger and fear surging within her. As he approached, she instinctively stepped back, but Dante’s men flanked her, blocking her escape.
