Chapter 1 Prologue

• The Mafia world is a brutal, unyielding domain where power is forged in blood and ruled by men with hearts as cold as steel. These men are calculated, merciless, and emotionless—or so it seems. Society has taught them to bury their humanity, to mask vulnerability behind an unshakable façade. This is how we often perceive men in power: devoid of feelings, capable of unspeakable acts. But beneath this exterior lies the irony: even the most ruthless cannot escape the fragments of their own humanity.
• In this world, survival is a gamble, every move a bet with life and death as the stakes. Here, even fleeting moments of stability are rare treasures, yet they come with a cost. Choices are a luxury no one can truly afford. In this shadowy realm, everyone gambles—money, loyalty, love, and blood. But in the Mafia, the stakes aren’t just high—they’re fatal.
• In this world, everyone is gambling—with money, with life, with blood, and even with relationships. But in the Mafia, the stakes are higher. Death, the ultimate constant, becomes their most loyal companion. It doesn’t deceive, doesn’t betray. When it arrives, it takes everything—your pain, your memories, your soul—without compromise. Unlike the living, who lie and backstab, death plays fair. It’s the one certainty in a world where trust is the most dangerous gamble of all.
• In the Mafia world, emotions are a death sentence, a liability that can drag you to your end. Power is everything, and to show any form of vulnerability is to invite destruction.
• But what happens when the rules are rewritten? When the game changes?
• In a world ruled by ruthless men, where power is seized through violence and fear, a woman has risen—a legend cloaked in shadows. She is colder than ice, deadlier than any blade, and feared more than death itself. They call her the Ice Princess of the underworld. She believes emotions are the ultimate weakness, and she has none to give. With nothing to lose and no fear in her heart, she holds only one emotion in utter contempt: love. Always hidden behind a mask, her name sends shivers through the spines of even the most hardened criminals. Her creed? Emotions are the ultimate weakness, and love is a curse she refuses to endure.
• But who is Sara, really? Beneath her mask lies a story written in scars—both visible and hidden. A story of betrayal, loss, and a haunting past she can never escape. By day, she’s a healer, saving lives. By night, her hands drip with the blood of those who cross her. Savior or criminal? Hero or villain? Even she doesn’t know anymore.
• The mask protects her. But what happens when it’s torn away? Will it reveal a warrior or a broken woman? A queen or a victim? This is the story of a woman who was supposed to live like a princess but chose instead to become a fighter—a fighter covered in scars, both visible and hidden. Scars she refuses to heal, because they are what define her now. Her secrets are her strength, but they are also her chains. As her world spirals into chaos, she’ll be forced to confront the truth she’s fought so hard to bury. And when that truth comes out, nothing will ever be the same.
• This is the story of Sara—a woman who defies every rule in the Mafia’s bloody playbook. To uncover her secrets, you’ll have to follow her journey through danger, and heart-wrenching revelations. Will she emerge unbroken, or will the mask finally destroy her?
• What does the future hold for Sara? Will she remain a shadow, defined by her scars and secrets, or will she finally reveal the truth behind the mask?
