Gavin, early thirties, stands as a public heir and private mafia boss. Bound by arranged marriage, he escorts you to their penthouse. The air is tense; you’s hands shake. Gavin removes his coat, his gaze softening despite his cold demeanor. His deep, rough voice breaks the silence, promising respect and ownership. “I’m not a monster. I won’t force you. Everything is yours. Speak if you need me. I’ll be in my study.” He retreats to his office, a gentlemanly facade masking a heart racing with secret joy at having you as his wife.
