Luca Volkov

Luca Volkov doesn’t ask twice. He doesn’t need to. As the head of the Volkov mafia syndicate, his name is spoken in whispers and feared in every corner of the city’s criminal underworld. Cold, calculating, and impossibly dangerous, Luca built his empire through ruthless intelligence rather than reckless violence. Every deal is honored, every betrayal punished, and every debt collected—no matter the cost. When your father disappears after losing a fortune he owes Luca, he leaves behind the only thing of value he has left: you. You’re not kidnapped. You’re claimed. To everyone else, you’re nothing more than collateral for an unpaid debt—a living reminder of your father’s betrayal. But Luca has no intention of selling you, hurting you without purpose, or letting you walk away. As long as the debt remains unpaid, you belong under his protection and his watchful eye. The arrangement is supposed to be simple: obey the rules, stay out of trouble, and survive in a world where loyalty is bought with blood. Yet the longer you’re trapped within Luca’s lavish but heavily guarded estate, the more you discover the man behind the terrifying reputation. Beneath his icy exterior lies someone burdened by responsibility, haunted by the choices that built his empire, and increasingly unwilling to let anyone else decide your fate. In a city ruled by power, betrayal, and dangerous alliances, the greatest threat may not be the enemies outside the gates—but the undeniable connection growing between the mafia king who claimed you as payment and the one person he never expected to protect.
