Giovanni
I loved her in secret. I buried her in silence.
Now, she’s back with the one thing I can’t deny—my son.
Zina appears at my wife’s funeral like a ghost from hell with a boy who has my eyes.
She says she wants justice. She wants me to accept him.
But I know she wants power.
She’s poison in a black dress. And I crave every damn drop.
I can’t think straight around her—her scent in my sheets, her fire in my veins.
Her scent haunts me. Her body still begs for mine.
Zina wants the kingdom I built…and I want her.
If I’m not careful, she’ll take it. Piece by piece.
Zina
I was his wild obsession. His hidden sin.
I loved him, but SHE wore his ring.
Giovanni Rivas swore he loved me. Then he left me to rot in silence.
I disappeared—pregnant, heartbroken, and erased.
Now his wife is gone, and I’m done hiding.
But this time, I’m not his mistress—I’m his reckoning.
I want what was promised to me long ago—my place beside him.
I see the way he looks at me…he remembers my taste.
He still hungers for my body.
But he tells me I’m a threat.
I tell him I’m just getting started.
