I am Luca Fiorelli—the perfect son, the flawless heir, the man everyone trusts. A lie I've spent years crafting. Power isn't taken with brute force; it's earned with a smile, a well-placed word, and a promise you never intend to keep. My family built this empire with blood and cunning, and I intend to perfect it. Love? A distraction. Marriage? A transaction. My future wife—she is not as docile as I expected. She watches me too closely—like she sees the serpent beneath the charm.
