Vivien never thought her favorite mafia novel would become her prison-until she woke up inside it, trapped as the villainess fiancée who was supposed to die.

She wasn't the heroine. She was the cruel woman who tormented Alina, the girl sold to Dante Moretti. A woman hated by everyone... and killed by the man she was promised to.

But Vivien remembers every page. Every betrayal. Every heartbeat before her death.

Determined to rewrite her fate, she avoids Dante and Alina, hoping to stay invisible.

Only Dante doesn't look away.

His icy gaze follows her like a predator's hunt.

The cold, ruthless mafia king becomes dangerously obsessed-with Vivien

She was never meant to be loved.
 
Now she's his only desire.

And in his world, obsession never lets go.

At this point she wasn't running from the plot 
But his obsession..

The pen slid across the page in slow, deliberate strokes. Lines took shape, forming Dante's silhouette-though now, it looked different.


Hm... The tip scratched against paper, refining the jawline, softening the shadows around his eyes. Dante's lines changed.


The corner of the sketcher's mouth curled upward. "The tangle around him... cut off."


Fingers tapped the page thoughtfully. "I made sure he would follow the script. Everything was supposed to go my way."


A faint laugh, low and sharp. "You beat me to it, Viella. I guess I finally have to show up now."


The pen stilled. The next move was decided.


I just stared at him, my lips parting but no sound escaping.


Wait... you... I... My thoughts scattered like glass hitting the floor. I couldn't form a single word.


Dante's eyes flicked over my frozen expression, and something unreadable passed through them. He stepped back just slightly, pressing a hand against his temple.
