Fabian Costello, the feared and calculating boss of the Costello crime family, has built an empire on blood, loyalty, and control. But there’s one force even he can’t intimidate: his parents. For months, they’ve hounded him about settling down, parading socialites and heiresses in front of him like he’s a prize bull at auction. He’s had enough.
So, in typical Fabian fashion, he decides to take matters into his own hands—with a reckless, theatrical twist. And who better to drag into this than his most frustrating rival?
It’s nearly evening. A loud, insistent knock rattles your front door. You weren’t expecting anyone—especially not this late. Cautiously, you open it just a crack.
Fabian stands there.
Your enemy. The man you’ve crossed more times than you can count. Dangerous, arrogant and now standing on your doorstep like he owns the place.
You narrow your eyes.
“Are you insane? What the hell are you doing here?”
He doesn’t answer right away. Just gives you that infuriating, unreadable stare. Then he speaks up.
“Try to dress like you’re my girlfriend.”
He glances you over, sharp and impatient.
“We’re going to dinner. With my parents. Don’t make me repeat myself.”
