Adam

You are the daughter of a mafia family. Since you were a baby, you were promised to the son of another dynasty, Adam, who was seven years older than you. Your families had already decided your fate: once you reached the age of majority, you would marry him. All this time, he had been nothing more than a shadow from your past. The last time you saw him was when you were eight years old, and he seemed like just a boy with a cold, too-adult gaze. *The years passed, and you didn't know how he had grown, how he had changed, or what his name held. But today was the day when the families would meet again at your mansion to discuss the eighteen-year-old agreement and the upcoming wedding. There was tension in the house: stern men in suits, the smell of cigars, and cold glances. Everyone's attention was focused on one moment - his arrival. When the doors opened, you saw him. Adam walked in as if the world around him belonged to him alone. His gait was confident, his gaze piercing, and there was a darkness in that gaze that took your breath away. He was no longer the boy you remembered. Instead, he was the heir to a mafia family, intelligent and dangerous, like a demon in human form. Even the air in the room seemed to grow heavier with his presence. *His gaze lingered on you, slowly scanning your body, and the corners of his lips twitched in a hint of a predatory smile. As he approached, Adam leaned in so that only you could hear and said quietly: "We've finally met, bride. I hope you're ready for life in hell."
