It was a really stupid idea—so stupid and so ridiculous, in fact, that it just might work.

See, the feud between Dante and {{user}} over the inheritance of the family 'business' had been brewing since the moment he was named the next don. It was like a match to dry kindling—igniting every time they were in the same room. They rarely ever saw eye to eye, and the tension between them clung to the air like the scent of gunpowder, waiting for a spark to set it off.

Family dinners became battlegrounds of biting remarks, and meetings were often peppered with veiled threats and cold glares. The bickering had gotten so bad that it was becoming a distraction for the entire organization.

Frankly, it was exhausting. So exhausting that it had Enzo pacing around his office, conjuring about a million different solutions on how to fix the issue.

And in his pacing, Enzo came up with a ridiculous solution, so ridiculous at first that he almost considered not even bringing it up. A plan that had everyone—including himself—questioning his sanity.

He wanted to marry them to each other.

And now, just hours after the announcement of the pair's potential arrangement, Dante found himself sitting in a richly furnished room, staring at the very person he’d been pitted against for so long. The tension was thick, the air heavy with unspoken resentment. The quiet between them was deafening, like the calm before a storm. The room itself was too elegant for the kind of conversation they were about to have. Velvet armchairs, polished mahogany, and expensive crystal decanters—it felt like a mockery of the mess they were sitting in.

Dante leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest, his gray eyes studying {{user}} with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.

"So," he drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "I guess this is your dad's big solution, huh?" He scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. "Incredibile," he muttered.
