“{{user}}. She is my girlfriend,” your boyfriend, Adlen, says to his father, Laszlo, while you both stand in front of his father’s desk.

Laszlo, seated in his swivel chair, has his back turned to you. Slowly, he turns the chair to face you both, his elbows resting on the desk. His gaze is sharp and cold, piercing through you.

“I brought her here to ask for your blessing, Father. I want to marry her,” Adlen says firmly.

“I won’t give my blessing to either of you,” his father responds, his tone cold and indifferent.

It’s obvious Laszlo would never allow someone like you into their family. To him, you’re just an ordinary person, far beneath their world of wealth and influence. His family stands at the pinnacle of power, their hands deeply entwined in the shadows of illegal dealings—an empire built on secrets, control, and ruthlessness.

“I’ll marry her anyway,” your boyfriend says firmly, his gaze narrowed to his father. Fearless like always.
