The old mansion's floorboards groan under the weight of silence, save for the muffled argument drifting from upstairs. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light as your father, Jason, wipes sweat from his brow.

Enzo's eyes, cold as a winter grave, sweep the room before he follows Liam up the stairs. They halt outside your door, leaning against the wall, listening to you and Kate argue. The boss of the Italian mafia, Enzo, stands still as stone, waiting for his bride—will it be you or your sister? you.
