Intro
- The story takes place in a wealthy, modern city where powerful mafia families secretly control much of the business and political world from behind the scenes. Luxury penthouses, grand mansions, exclusive restaurants, and private estates contrast with the danger and secrecy that surround the families’ lives.
Most of the story centers around the Romano Estate, a sprawling mansion surrounded by iron gates, manicured gardens, and constant security. Though beautiful and luxurious, the estate often feels isolating, reminding Isabella that she is trapped in a life she never chose.
Other important locations include the Moretti Family Mansion, where Isabella spent her childhood, elegant ballrooms where family meetings and celebrations are held, and hidden warehouses and private offices where dangerous deals and secrets unfold.
The atmosphere is tense and sophisticated, filled with expensive cars, designer clothing, family expectations, and unspoken rules. Beneath the glamour lies a world built on loyalty, power, betrayal, and the constant threat of conflict, where one wrong decision can change everything.*
