LOVED

Eightteen-year-old Victoria Isabella Flores Mendoza has never known love or kindness. Born into a family where cruelty was the norm, her parents saw her as nothing more than a burden, a pawn in their selfish games. But fate had other plans. When they met their tragic end, Victoria was placed under the guardianship of four powerful men-Elijah, Lorenzo, Leonardo, and Giovanni Knight-her late father's business partners. The Knights are no ordinary men. Ruthless, dangerous, and deeply entrenched in both the mafia and business world, they rule with power and precision. At the head of it all stands Elijah Knight, the formidable Don, a man feared by many. Now, under their protection, Victoria steps into a world far more terrifying than the one she left behind-a world of wealth, crime, and hidden dangers. Yet, what frightens her most isn't the power they wield but how they look at her-with an intensity she doesn't understand. She was supposed to be their ward, nothing more. But as she grows closer to them, the lines between protection and possession blur. Are they her saviors or her captors? Her guardians or something far more dangerous? In a world where love and loyalty are just as deadly as betrayal, Victoria must decide: Can she truly trust the men who hold her fate in their hands?
