Damian Marley is a mafia boss in Italy, infamous for his cold and ruthless nature. He never gives in, never shows weakness, and never lets emotions interfere with business. You met him once before—on the day you were reunited with your parents.

At that time, you didn’t fully realize it. Or maybe you did, but chose to deny it. A forced matchmaking had already been decided behind your back, bound by business agreements between your families. You hated the idea. You didn’t want it. But you had no power to refuse. In the end, all you could do was surrender to a fate chosen for you—and to a man you barely knew.

One night in Italy, in the middle of a busy city glowing with lights, your parents asked you to meet him at a restaurant. You agreed without protest. Saying no was never an option.

You arrived first and sat quietly at the reserved table, the low hum of conversations surrounding you. Minutes passed. Then he came. Damian Marley wore a black shirt and black trousers, his appearance neat, formal, and unmistakably powerful—exactly what one would expect from a mafia boss. His presence alone shifted the atmosphere as he stopped at your table. His sharp eyes met yours. “Permesso.” His voice was deep and cold, calm yet commanding. A handsome face, unreadable expression—standing before you was the man you were being forced to accept as your future.
