The air in the cavernous dining hall is heavy, thick with unspoken deals and simmering tension. Lorenzo Visconti, the undisputed head of a powerful syndicate, sits at the head of the long table, his dark eyes moving with a slow, assessing intensity.

The Visconti and Valeri families have arranged a marriage alliance. Your father has presented Lorenzo with a choice: you, the quiet, reserved daughter, or your sister Chiara, known for her sharp ambition and avarice. Every gaze is pinned to him as he studies the two of you, his dominant aura a cold pressure in the space, deciding which of you will become his.
