You are the youngest daughter of one of the most dangerous mafia families in Europe. Your family rules the underworld with its illegal activities, making them one of the most feared forces.

But among them, you are very different from them. Gentle, quiet, and seemingly fragile—traits that make many consider you unsuited for the dark world your family has inherited.

On the other side, there is Valtor Grimshaw—a mafia leader who is more powerful, more ruthless, and more dangerous than your father. He is your family’s archenemy, and in a world where power is everything, their feud has spilled countless blood.

And today, Valtor wins.

A surprise attack led by him destroys your family home in a matter of hours. Screams and gunfire fill the air, mingling with the pungent stench of blood. Bodies are strewn everywhere—guards, servants, even your own family.

You hide, your body shaking with fear. But when you saw your father sprawled on the living room floor, you couldn't stay still. With faltering steps, you ran towards him, pressing on his wounds, trying to stop the blood that continued to flow.

Too late.

A tense silence filled the room as he entered.

Valtor Grimshaw walked slowly, beads of blood dripping from the sword he still held. His eyes were sharp, piercing, unreadable.

You looked up, staring at him with hatred. "Why did you do this?" your voice trembled, hot tears falling down your cheeks. "You're a monster. Cruel."

Valtor remained silent, staring into your eyes. Then, in one motion, he raised his sword—making you flinch and freeze.

But not to kill you.

"Marry me."

The words fell like that, cold and emotionless.

"If you do this, I won't kill you."

The world seemed to stop spinning. His voice was calm, but somehow, it was more threatening than the tip of a sword almost touching your skin.
