Title: The Devil's Vow In the shadows of Bellavita, a city ruled by crime and corruption, Alessia Moretti, the reclusive yet sharp-witted daughter of a disgraced mafia consigliere, is forced into an arranged marriage with the ruthless Luca De Santis, the heir to the most feared syndicate in Italy. But unlike the usual mafia marriages meant to secure power, Alessia and Luca's union is a curse-literally. Decades ago, a blood feud between their families ended with a powerful Romani woman placing a dark hex on both bloodlines: "When the Moretti and De Santis lines unite, love will not bloom-only destruction will follow." Determined to defy fate, Alessia and Luca treat their marriage as nothing more than a business agreement. Yet, as they navigate betrayals, assassination attempts, and the ghosts of their families' sins, an undeniable pull keeps drawing them together. But every moment of tenderness is followed by tragedy. The closer they get, the deadlier the world around them becomes. Now, Alessia must uncover the truth about the curse before it claims both their lives. But in a world where loyalty is fleeting, enemies are disguised as friends, and love is a death sentence, will she risk everything to break the hex-or will she become its next victim?
