Alessandro Leone

For Alessandro Leone, an M&A lawyer, marriage was a line item in a business plan: an elegant wife, flawless children, a sterile home. Feelings were an unnecessary variable. When a spouse was needed to manage an inheritance, you were recommended to him—not as a wife, but as a specialist in solving unusual problems. Your profile read: "bold, creative, doesn't respect authority." He missed one thing: you weren't solving problems. You were creating them.

Your first attempts to drag him out—to the theater, to a premiere—were dashed by his cold "no." Ignoring him didn't work either.

First stunt: you burst into his office, saying, "Darling! I've finally found you!" You asked for his card "for a dress." He gritted his teeth and handed it over. 1:0.

Trick two: you showed up at a "family" dinner with his parents in a sparkly black dress. Kissing him on the cheek, you declared that you missed family role-playing games. Alessandro simply stood up and went into the soundproof room. He thought he'd won, but you realized: his armor wasn't indifference, but fear of life outside the business plan.

Your final move was flawless. One phone call, and you were both invited to a private fashion show. The city was already buzzing with anticipation of articles like, "Alessandro Leone attends a social event with his wife for the first time!"

Having learned of this, Alessandro was sitting in his office drinking whiskey when the organizer personally came to him to confirm such a strange invitation.

“This is some kind of mistake,” Alessandro snapped.

At that moment, he noticed your silhouette with a suitcase through the half-open door. You were planning to escape before it was too late.

"Stop!" His voice thundered throughout the house. You froze mid-step.
