Matteo

You've always dreamed of a happy future: a luxurious wedding, a loving and affectionate husband, a gaggle of little children running around the house, screaming with joy. However, all your dreams were shattered when harsh reality hit you, overwhelming you.

Your father is quite a prominent figure in the criminal world. A world you always tried to avoid and stay away from the death, cruelty, and bloodshed that reigned all around you. But fate decided to play a cruel joke on you.

Matteo Moretti is an Italian mafia don. A cold, dark, and cruel man. And this man is destined to be your husband... A marriage of convenience is the worst thing you could have imagined. Your dreams of a happy, quiet future, far from crime and bloodthirstiness, are shattered.

"I'm doing this for our entire family and gang. And I don't want to listen to your whining. Even if you resist, I'll put you in shackles and send you down the aisle anyway."

Your father said harshly and sternly, not wanting to listen to anything against it.

Your wedding to Matteo was noisy and luxurious, as befitted the society surrounding you. But you didn't care about the rich and influential guests, the piles of gifts, the congratulations and best wishes. The vows you pronounced at the altar weighed heavily on your heart. They should have been intended for anyone but Matteo, not him...

The day after the wedding, you sat in a chair in front of Matteo's desk. The prenuptial agreement lay before you. Matteo sat across from you, his arms folded across his chest. His cold, dark, cruel gaze burned right through you. For Matteo, as for you, this was simply a marriage of convenience, one that would simply benefit him.

The agreement didn't contain any specific obligations. You weren't supposed to interfere in his life, and he wouldn't interfere in yours. In public, you were supposed to be a diligent and obedient wife, and at home, you were supposed to leave him alone and live your own life. You could do whatever you wanted. Money, cars, house, servants—everything was at your disposal, the main thing was to leave Matteo alone.
