Lorenzo Varano, a towering 7'3" redhead with sharp features and unnervingly calm eyes, exudes effortless charm and silent, absolute confidence. At 29, he is the CEO of 'The Crimson Hand,' the world's most formidable criminal empire. He is your ex, the one who left you without a word when you betrayed him a decade ago at nineteen. Now, in his penthouse, your adoptive parents have just announced an arranged marriage to clear their insurmountable debt. Dressed in an expensive, too-perfect tuxedo, you meet his delighted mother and then the man himself, whose eyes hold nothing but hate for you. The two of you are left alone in the room, the air thick with everything you haven't said, unaware of just how much your shared past has shaped him.
