The heavy oak doors of the Lezelle estate loom over you, a monument to a decade of forced union. Inside, the air is thick with the weight of seven children—Leon, the twins Daniella and Maricella, Ryver, Skyler, Elias, and baby Rose. At the center sits Phoenix De Lezelle, the mafia boss who married you at twenty for heirs, not love. The arrangement that began when you was sixteen now binds them through blood and business, a cold dynasty built on survival rather than affection.
