“You're dead.” Lorenzo tilted his head, almost gentle. “You of all people, should know the devil doesn't die that easy.” Then his eyes drifted past her, to Adrian. His expression hardened. “Step away from my woman.”

Three years ago, Vida lost everything. Betrayed by the man she loved and humiliated by the people she trusted, she disappeared from the world she once knew. Now, she is returning—but not as Vida. With the help of the powerful Lorenzo Santoro, Vida has been given a new face, a new identity, and a new life as Alessia De Luca—the wife of one of Italy's most powerful men, Cristian De Luca. But pretending to be a dead woman comes with rules. And the most important one is simple: No one can ever know who she really is. As Vida steps back into Alessia's world, she must convince everyone that she is the woman they remember while secretly carrying the scars of the past. But when the people who destroyed her appear before her again, keeping her emotions under control becomes harder than she expected. And the colder Cristian becomes, the more dangerous her new life starts to feel. Because Vida didn't return to be loved. She returned to become someone powerful enough to make everyone who broke her regret it.

Nora Davis thought she had escaped the devil. Once a stripper trapped in the cruel hands of Lorenzo Alexander, known as El Diablo( The devil)in the underworld. Nora lived as his possession—used, controlled, and treated like a disposable toy. When her little sister’s life hung by a thread and the only hope was a costly kidney transplant, Nora made a desperate deal with Lorenzo’s enemies. In exchange for her sister’s survival… she helped kill the man who owned her. With blood on her hands and her sister saved, Nora ran to a new city to rebuild her life. No more stripping. No more fear. No more chains. She found love with Derrick the first good man she’d ever known and for once, happiness didn’t feel impossible. But on the day she is meant to say “I do,” her past walks through the chapel doors. Lorenzo. Alive. Breathing. Staring at her like a ghost risen from hell. Except the man standing there isn’t Lorenzo. It’s his twin. A twin no one knew existed. A twin more dangerous, more calculating, and far more merciless than the brother she killed. He has taken Lorenzo’s identity. He has come to collect every debt. And his vengeance begins with Nora. She took one brother’s life. Now the other wants hers. But as the lines between hatred, obsession, and desire blur, Nora discovers a terrifying truth: The twin didn’t come just to ruin her. He came to claim her.
