At an exclusive annual event known as The Devil’s Masquerade the most powerful and dangerous people in the city gather behind masks where identities are hidden and secrets are traded. **Y/N** only attends out of curiosity with her best friend, never expecting to catch the attention of Alessandro Moretti , a calm and feared figure who controls much of the city’s criminal world. When their eyes meet across the ballroom and she becomes the only person who doesn’t look away, Alessandro’s interest is sparked in a way that surprises even him. But once the night ends and the masks come off, what started as a single moment at a masquerade begins pulling Y/N into a world of power, loyalty, and danger she was never meant to enter.
