The Sovereign Trio - Gino Durand
READING AGE 18+
Gino Durand is a businessman with dangerous ties and a restless heart.
Half-American, half-Filipino, he’s the trusted business partner—and best friend—of Mafia heir Zeus Sullivan. When Gino visits Zeus in Italy, he expects a brief stay filled with strategy and cigars. What he doesn’t expect is Alexa Rios.
She’s quiet, guarded, and clearly unimpressed by him. A house staff member of Zeus, with a strong will and sharp tongue, Alexa is the niece of Zeus’s former nanny. Gino, fluent in Tagalog thanks to his Filipino mother, tries to charm her—but Alexa sees right through his usual games.
Still, Gino isn’t used to being ignored. For the first time, he wants something real—and he wants it with Alexa.
Day by day, he breaks down her walls. And just when she starts to let him in, everything changes.
Alexa’s aunt passes away unexpectedly. She leaves Italy without warning, returning to the Philippines to honor her aunt’s last wishes. Gino is left with no explanation—just silence.
But Alexa’s nightmare is only beginning. Back home, she discovers that her parents have sold her off to a corrupt mayor in exchange for clearing a massive debt. She runs, desperate and alone—and carrying a secret: she’s pregnant with Gino’s child.
For five years, she hides. Working quietly in Manila, raising her son in secret. Until fate catches up.
One day, she walks into her new job at a luxury hotel—and comes face to face with Gino Durand.
He owns the hotel. And he’s never stopped thinking about her.
But now there’s a child.
His child.
What happens next? Will Gino fight to take the boy away? Will Alexa trust him again? Or will the past—and the secrets between them—destroy whatever future they might still have?
