"Ryan, we can't continue like this... You're my stepson, and I'm responsible for protecting you, not being involved with you," Hazel says, placing her hands gently on his chest and pushing him away. "My duty is to shield you, not risk our relationship." "Protection?" He chuckles softly and advances. "The one who truly needs it is you. You didn't choose to become my stepmom; it was thrust upon you! And yet, you chose to love me. Our connection is genuine, despite the circumstances." "But I can't," Hazel replies, shaking her head. "What if your father discovers our feelings and retaliates? He might harm you just because he's your father." "I'll take care of him first," he asserts, holding her shoulders firmly and gazing into her eyes. Hazel's life takes a shocking turn when her own parents sell her to the ruthless mafia boss, Lennox Zephyr, for financial gain. As she enters the mansion, her heart flutters at the sight of a strikingly handsome young man – her stepson – whose kindness stands in stark contrast to his father's cruelty. Caught in a world where no one seems to care about her, Hazel finds herself irresistibly drawn to his every aspect. Their desire for each other grows, fueled by forbidden desires and a desperate need for connection. Yet, they must remain hidden from Lennox and his father's prying eyes. A single mistake could bring unimaginable consequences. Will Hazel and her stepson navigate their intense passion without exposing themselves, or will their love story end in tragedy? This story contains mature themes, explicit content, elements of BDSM,禁忌之恋, and a tale of a mafia billionaire romance.
