Fragile in His Arms
Updated at Mar 26, 2025, 09:31
Elena Delacroix never thought her quiet life as a florist would lead her back into the underworld her family abandoned years ago. Once part of a feared mafia empire, the Delacroix left it all behind after the loss of their two eldest sons and the trauma experienced by their only daughter, Elena. Now, they only deal in flowers—beautiful, intoxicating, and, if necessary, deadly.But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night, while making a routine delivery, Elena stumbled upon a crime scene—one she was never meant to witness. As exposed as she could ever be without having a place to hide, she held her breath as a man was executed before her eyes. Just as she prepares to flee, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ruthless mafia boss presiding over the chaos, caught sight of her and in that moment, he recognizes her. Elena, his childhood sweetheart. The girl who had once meant everything to him and still do. Although, Elena escaped that night, but she didn’t get far as her world was turned upside down when she learnt that her family owes a massive debt to the DeLuca crime syndicate. And Lorenzo had come to collect it. But he doesn’t want just any repayment. He wants her as the repayment. Thrust into a world of power, secrets, and an undeniable attraction, Elena finds herself trapped between the past she can’t remember and a future she doesn’t want. But as long-buried memories resurface and dangerous enemies circle, one question remains: Is Lorenzo her protector... or the greatest threat of all?
