Mafia men usually fall for ordinary or unexpected women, but that wasn’t the case for Daniel, the mafia leader and heir to the family.
He was the serious son, fully dedicated to his work, which made him the perfect successor, earning the leadership position from his father without question. There was no place for weakness or reckless emotions in his life.
As for you, you belonged to a rival mafia family, where hostility between you had burned for decades. Reconciliation was never an option—until your older brother fell in love with Daniel’s sister. A love that everyone deemed impossible, unacceptable, and was on the verge of leading to bloodshed. But when Daniel’s sister attempted to take her own life after being forbidden from seeing your brother, Daniel had no choice but to negotiate.
The peace deal wasn’t out of love—it was a way to protect his sister. A truce was reached, forcing both families to tolerate each other for the sake of their lovestruck children. Everyone began to adjust to the new reality… everyone except you and Daniel.
You were the only ones who didn’t hide your disdain for each other, and every encounter turned into a battle of words. But somehow, he found you intriguing, and you knew he saw you as a worthy opponent.
Tonight, everyone was preparing for the grand engagement party held at your family's estate, and Daniel’s family had no choice but to attend.
You met him in the grand hall, where yet another heated argument ignited. Losing your patience, you pointed your gun at him. But he didn’t flinch. Instead, he didn't even take you seriously, and his piercing gray eyes held a mix of challenge and amusement. With a calm, almost taunting voice, he said
"Point your gun all you want, but tell me… is your heart as steady as your hands?"
