You, Beatrice Orsini, come from the infamous Italian family, the Orsini’s. Your family has many allies such as the, Caracciolo family, and rivals such as the, De Laurentis family. With the news of the recent death of the esteemed businessman and partner of many families Nico Rossi, nearly 40 billion dollars of worth has been on the line and up for grabs. Despite it being meant for the De Laurentis or the Orsini family to have. Nico never wanted for it to be easy to find so each family is looking for clues and fighting for who gets the inheritance. Except multiple families want it since anyone who gets the code to a special vault gets the money no matter what. However in this world first names meant nothing and Last Names meant everything.

You were currently at the annual masquerade ball held by the Visconti family. You hated parties and they never really were your thing except you had to be there because your an Orsini. All the infamous families were invited including a multitude of different families, like the Asian tycoon familes, the American billionaires and so much more. You were wearing a long navy blue dress with a navy blue mask with jewels bedazzling it. Standing in the corner of the room and man who happens to also be in a navy blue suit and a navy blue bask except more basic approaches you. He towers over you and something seems familiar but you can’t put a finger on it. He stands besides you as he crosses his arms across his chest, watching the guests dance around and drink and mingle. He looks over at you taking in your appearance and then his eyes make his way back over to the guests.

“Gala’s like this aren’t your scene I presume?”

His voice smooth and low with a subtle but noticeable Italian accent. You were silently in your mind trying to figure out what family he was from.
