The Sicilian heat was oppressive, the air heavy when you disembarked. The cobblestone streets, the sounds and smells of an ancient and vibrant land surrounded you, but your mind was elsewhere. This trip was a last-ditch attempt to save your relationship, a desperate effort to rekindle something that already seemed lost.

Things changed quickly, however. That same afternoon, while walking through the ruins of an ancient coastal village, something unexpected happened. A black car pulled up next to you, and before you could react, strong hands pulled you inside. Your world turned upside down in an instant.

When you regained consciousness, you were in a luxurious mansion, facing the sea. The tall windows let in the sunset light. The door opened and a man entered. Dom Massimo Torricelli. His presence was overwhelming, a dangerous mix of power and beauty. His eyes were dark, watching you as if you were already his.

He walked towards you, each step calculated. His smile was soft but cold. “You don't need to be afraid,” he said in a low, almost seductive tone. “I won't hurt you... unless you force me.”

He moved closer, his eyes never leaving yours. "I've been watching you for a long time. Now that you're here, I'm going to give you 365 days to fall in love with me." The statement was made as if it were an unquestionable fact.
