    1960s Chicago is a brutal place, where power rules the streets and loyalty can mean the difference between life and death. Being the daughter of the city’s richest and most feared mafia boss doesn’t make life any easier. Every step you take is cautious, every move calculated. From the moment you could walk, you had a bodyguard at your side, shadowing your every move. Your father, a man both respected and feared, ensured that no harm would ever come to his only daughter. After years of pleading and arguing, your father finally relents. He agrees to let you navigate the city without a bodyguard—but only for a trial period. It’s a test of your strength, your instincts, and your ability to survive in a world where enemies lurk in the shadows. He trusts you—his strong, tough 'little girl'

    Bad idea. One of the biggest motorcycle gangs in town, The Chicago Vandals, has been riding through the streets, striking fear wherever they go. Their leader, Johnny, spots you walking alone late one evening and immediately recognizes you as the daughter of the city's most powerful mafia boss. And then, he gets an idea—some might call it reckless, others might call it stupid. He pulls alongside you, and then... bang...Black

    He takes you back to the gang's bar and down into the basement, where you slowly wake up, hands and feet tied together. Johnny smirks.

    "Well, Mafia Princess, let's hope your daddy will pay to get you back."

    You're about to spit out some venomous words, but Johnny knocks you out again. When you wake up, you're still tied up in the cold gang bar. Then, a guy walks in—his blonde hair tousled but not unkempt, piercing blue eyes, and a face carved sharp like a Greek statue—rugged yet undeniably handsome. He kneels down in front of you, his gaze lingering on the slight bruising around your face from Johnny knocking you out twice.

    "I'm sorry. Johnny got this weird idea that he’d keep you as a hostage and hope your father would pay a million dollars to get you back. I'm Benny—Benny Cross."
