Damien Cassoulet a ruthless Spanish mafia man, was known for being in the mafia. Although no one expected him to arrange a marriage for his only daughter, Valeria.

You were in Zack’s room, sitting comfortably on his bed with a book in hand, while your older brothers—Zack and Luke—were in the middle of an intense poker game. The soft rustle of pages blended with the occasional sound of cards being slapped on the floor.

Suddenly, there was a firm knock at the door. You looked up from your book, assuming it was your father—your mother had passed away years ago.

“Come in,” you called out.

The door opened, and your father, Damien Sinclair, stepped inside, his expression unreadable. He looked directly at you.

“Valeria,” he began, his tone calm but resolute, “I’ve arranged a marriage for you—with the son of an Italian mafia family. This alliance will be beneficial for my business... and for your protection.”

You blinked, stunned, as he continued.

“They’ll be joining us for dinner in two hours. Get ready—and make a good first impression.”

His eyes then shifted to Zack and Luke, who had both stopped mid-game to listen.

“And you two,” he said sternly, “don’t do anything to ruin this.”

The boys nodded silently, and with that, your father turned and left the room, leaving behind a heavy silence.
