INTRODUCTION
HEY READERS !!
First of all, thank you so much for being here! 💖
This isn’t exactly the first chapter, it’s more like an introduction to help you understand the characters better. I’ll be posting some aesthetics here so you can picture the characters the way I imagine them.
But of course, if you’d rather create your own image of them, you can totally skip this and jump straight into the next chapter, where the real story begins! 🌸✨
ANYA MATHU ~

Fragile grace wrapped around unyielding fire.
She is the kind of beauty that leaves a mark — standing 5’5″, with pale skin that glows against the dark world she lives in, green eyes that mesmerize, and long brown curls cascading to her hips. A delicate frame that hides a storm within.
Born into a feared mafia family, she grew up surrounded by danger and power, yet her heart craves peace, love, and a life untouched by blood.
Haunted by fear and the ache of never being truly loved—except by her brother—Anya becomes bound to Don Vasques Galton, a ruthless mafia boss who embodies everything she despises.
Vasques Galton~~

Feared, Unshaken, and born to command
At thirty, Vasques wasn’t just the Don of Miami’s most powerful alliance — he was its heartbeat and its warning. Cold, ruthless, untouchable. A man who never believed in love, who built his walls high and his empire higher.
With black hair that always fell into perfect place 6'1 tall frame and brown eyes dark enough to silence a room, he was the kind of man whose presence spoke louder than words. His dusky, tea-toned skin and veined, muscular hands told stories of discipline and power — the kind that came from ruling, not begging.
But even the strongest men fall. And for him, it was Anya Mathu Galton — the one woman capable of shaking the foundation he swore would never crack.
ALYSSA COLOMBO~~

Dangerous, desirable, and utterly ruthless
At twenty-six and standing five-ten, she carried herself like sin in heels. Long black hair framed her sharp features, and her slightly dusky skin only made those cold, dark eyes more lethal — eyes that could make men forget how to breathe. Born into the Colombo crime family, Alyssa learned early that emotions were weaknesses, except when used to control others.
She wanted Don Vasques Galton — not just as a man, but as a conquest. And Alyssa never missed her targets. When she set her eyes on something… it always became hers.
JACOB MATHU ~~

Loyalty carved in flesh and silence.
At twenty-six, he stood six feet tall — brown hair, clean-shaven, with blue eyes that mirrored his father’s legacy and his own restraint. His skin was pale, his expression calm — too calm for the chaos he carried inside.
Jacob wasn’t the loud one in the room, but when he spoke, men listened. He didn’t fight for power — he fought for purpose. And those who underestimated his quiet learned too late that silence could be deadlier than rage.
He had only two weaknesses — and one of them was his sister, Anya Mathu Galton. For her, he’d burn the world without blinking.
