When your abusive mafia husband reincarnated to make amends

Dante Romano, a ruthless mafia king who owned everything—including the law—had it all, except for the one thing that truly mattered. He married you, only to break you again and again, reveling in your pain until there was nothing left of the woman she once was. But when he finally realized what he had destroyed, it was too late; you were killed in the most cruelest way possible. A death that forever haunted him.

Then, fate granted him the impossible—a second chance. Waking up in his past, Dante is faced with a choice: repeat his sins and lose you forever, or change his path and fight for the love he never deserved.

This time, he will not break her.

This time,

he will cherish her.
love her,
and destroy the threats before they reach her.
