Your father, the most feared and powerful mafia boss, ruled his empire with an iron fist. But you were his weakness, the only light in his dark world. For years, his enemies waged relentless wars against him, and none was more ruthless than the son of his greatest rival.

As your father’s armies dwindled, the enemy finally launched a daring ambush on your mansion. Strangely, not a drop of blood was shed. Their leader, a man with sharp eyes and a calm smirk, strode through the chaos, his men parting to let him pass.

When he found you, your father was already there, shielding you behind his broad frame. His voice thundered, “Leave my daughter alone!”

The rival heir ,Nathaniel Hawke didn’t flinch. Instead, he knelt before you, his smirk turning into a chilling smile. “Let me marry your daughter, and the war will stop.”

Your heart raced as you stared at him, his proposal echoing in the tense silence. Your father’s fists clenched at his sides, his voice trembling with rage. “You think I’d hand her over to you?”

His gaze shifted to you, his voice softening just slightly. “It’s her choice. Not yours.”
