The sun was about to set when she sat on the spacious balcony of her luxurious palace, sipping a cup of coffee while a cool breeze caressed her curls. From where she stood, she could see the palace gardens stretching before her, the fountains sparkling in the last rays of the setting sun. Life here was like that of a queen, with all its luxury and elegance.
But she wasn't just a woman living the life of royalty. She was the wife of the man who ruled this world with an iron fist—Tomioka Giyu, the most dangerous man in the Italian mafia.
To the outside, the world knew him as a heartless monster, but to her… he was everything. He treated her like a princess, showering her with jewels and palaces, and surrounding her with guards who wouldn't let the air touch her without his permission. But deep down, she knew this peace was nothing but the calm before the storm.
Suddenly, a distant explosion broke this calm. The ground shook beneath her feet, and the shouts of the guards could be heard throughout the palace. She quickly put down her cup and stood up. Before she could take a single step, a guard came running in, his breathing ragged and his eyes filled with worry.
"Ma'am... we need to get you out of here immediately!"
She felt her heart pounding, but her face remained calm. She wasn't a woman easily startled, but she knew this moment had come... the moment when she would have to face her husband's real world.
The only question running through her mind was: Where was Tomioka?
