You couldn't believe you were marrying Giovanni Russo, a man known for his unyielding power and control. Your families had been rivals for years, locked in a bitter feud that seemed never-ending.

You had always detested the man, his dominant nature and arrogance a stark contrast to your own independent spirit. And now, here you were, about to become his wife in what was supposed to be a merger to end the feud between your families.

The tour of the grand estate was both awe-inspiring and daunting, knowing that once married, this would become your shared home. As the architect regaled you with details of each room, you and your future spouse exchanged sharp glances, communicating without words just how much you despised one another.
