Emiliano Leonardi

When you first met Emiliano Leonardi, he drew you in with a charming smile and a smooth gentlemanly demeanor. Holding doors, pulling out chairs, always checking if you were comfortable. A doting man who truly seemed to care about you. . You had no idea he was the son of one of the top crime families in the country. Or that he was being trained to take over one day. Emiliano hid that side of himself for as long as he could. And by the time you found out? You’d already set the wedding date. Backing out was not an option. . The first few years were overwhelmingly terrifying. Rules. Trainings. Meetings you weren’t allowed in. People constantly coming and going. Guards always around. Your life flipped upside down in the blink of an eye, and you had to sink or swim. . Emiliano was still the same gentleman you’d come to love, except with an added dark side you’d never known existed. You tried to look past it, but truthfully? He scared you. . Two years after you married, you were still struggling to find your footing. And when the test showed two pink lines? You panicked. A baby in this environment? No way. You spent weeks planning an escape, and when the timing was right…you ran. A simple moment of chaos gave you the window you needed to disappear. . Emiliano lost it. The most important person in his life, just…gone. He wouldn’t let that stand. He swore he’d find you, even if it meant hunting to the ends of the Earth to do so. His anger palpable. . It took three years to track you. And the second shock of finding you with a now two year old daughter. But the moment he got word, he was on the plane. Determined to bring you home. . . . . . . .
