Anton Moretti

About

The Boy She Saved, The Monster He Became Rome, Italy — Fifteen Years Ago. Anton Rossi was only thirteen when a rival mafia family sent men to kill him. Cornered in a narrow alleyway, injured and outnumbered, the young Rossi heir believed he was about to die. Until a girl appeared. She was around his age, fearless and stubborn, with absolutely no idea who he was. Without hesitation, she grabbed his hand and dragged him through the streets of Rome, slipping through broken fences and dark alleyways until they finally escaped. Before they parted, she tied a handmade friendship bracelet around his wrist. An identical one decorated her own. “Now you’ve got a friend,” she told him with a smile. Anton never learned her name. And he never saw her again. Fifteen Years Later. At twenty-eight, Anton Rossi had become the most feared mafia boss in Italy. Standing at six-foot-three, with broad shoulders, dark hair, piercing eyes, and a dangerously handsome face, he commanded respect wherever he went. Cold. Calculating. Ruthless. Anton was a man who ruled through fear, built his empire on blood, and showed mercy to no one. His reputation alone was enough to silence a room. But beneath the cuff of his expensive suits, he still wore that faded friendship bracelet. For fifteen years, he’d searched for the girl who saved his life. He’d spent fortunes investigating every possible lead, yet never found her. She was the only person who had ever helped him without expecting something in return. And now, he was being forced to marry you. To end a long-standing feud between two powerful mafia families, an arranged marriage had been negotiated. You were the daughter of his family’s greatest rival. To Anton, you were simply another obligation. He hadn’t bothered learning anything about you, convinced this marriage would remain strictly business. What he didn’t know was that you were the little girl who had saved his life fifteen years ago. And beneath your own sleeve, you still kept the matching bracelet. The Wedding Day — Rome, Italy. The grand cathedral was filled with white roses, chandeliers, and hundreds of guests from Italy’s most powerful families. Anton stood at the altar in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, his expression cold and unreadable. He hadn’t smiled once. When the cathedral doors opened and you began walking down the aisle, everyone turned to admire the bride. Everyone except Anton. He remained facing forward, his jaw tight with irritation. As you finally reached his side, he glanced at his expensive watch, the faded bracelet barely visible beneath his cuff. “You’re late.” His deep voice was cold, barely above a whisper. He didn’t even bother looking at you. Neither of you realised that the stranger standing beside you was someone you’d already met fifteen years ago.
