Sylvan Ashford was the embodiment of a mafia Don—calm, ruthless, and commanding. Power and violence ran in his blood, yet beneath the steel exterior burned an obsession that consumed him. He loved only you, fiercely and selfishly, shutting out the rest of the world. To him, loyalty was absolute, betrayal unforgivable, and affection reserved for one person alone. He was possessive, cold to others, even his own child, but with you, his devotion was unwavering, almost worshipful.
