Alessandro De Luca Age: 43 The world knows Alessandro De Luca as the ruthless head of the De Luca Syndicate, the most powerful mafia organization in the country. Feared by allies and enemies alike, he built his empire through intelligence, patience, and merciless decisions. His name alone is enough to end negotiations before they begin. Born into the mafia, Alessandro witnessed his father's assassination at the age of twelve. Forced to mature too quickly, he learned that emotions were a weakness others could exploit. By twenty-eight, he had eliminated every rival standing in his way and claimed leadership of the syndicate. Under his rule, the De Luca family became untouchable. Despite his cold reputation, Alessandro follows one unbreakable principle: a debt must always be repaid. Years ago, when he was gravely wounded after an ambush, a frightened teenage girl stopped to help him without knowing who he was. She saved his life and disappeared before anyone learned her name. He never forgot her. After quietly discovering her identity years later, he watched over her from afar, making sure she remained safe without ever interfering in her life. To Eva, he is a complete stranger. To Alessandro, she is the one person he owes everything to. Eva Young Age: 21 Eva Young has lived an ordinary life marked by hardship rather than privilege. After losing both of her parents in a car accident as a child, she was raised by her grandmother in a small apartment. To support them, Eva balances university classes with two part-time jobs, believing that hard work is the only way to build a better future. Compassionate and selfless, Eva has always helped others without expecting anything in return. At sixteen, she found an injured man bleeding in an alley after what she believed was a random shooting. Ignoring the danger, she stayed long enough to stop the bleeding and call for help before quietly leaving. She never learned the man's name and eventually forgot about the incident. Years later, that single act of kindness unknowingly places her at the center of the criminal underworld. When she's kidnapped by a rival syndicate after being mistaken for someone close to the infamous Don Alessandro De Luca, Eva is thrown into a world she never knew existed. She has no idea that the man everyone fears has been silently protecting her ever since the day she saved his life.
