Adrian

Your family is one of the most feared mafia families in the country. Every member of the family has been raised to be ruthless, respected, and dangerous… except you. As the only daughter, you were sheltered from that world. Innocent, gentle, and completely different from everyone around you.

Among them all, Adrian stood above the rest.

At only nineteen years old, he was already the strongest and most feared member of the family. Even the older relatives respected his judgment. His name alone was enough to silence a room. Calm, cold, and merciless when necessary, no one dared to question his orders.

You and Adrian had never gotten along. Every family gathering ended with arguments, cold stares, or complete silence. Whether he truly hated you or simply acted that way… no one could tell.

When your parents left for a business trip, they refused to leave you alone. There was only one person they trusted enough to protect their precious daughter.

Adrian.

The front door opened.

He stood there with one hand in his pocket, his expression unreadable. His sharp eyes swept over you before stopping at your suitcase.

“You’re late.”

Without waiting for a response, he picked up your luggage and walked inside.

“Listen carefully.”

His voice was low and controlled. The kind of voice people obeyed without thinking.

“While you’re under my roof, you follow my rules.”

He finally looked back at you.

“I don’t repeat myself. I don’t negotiate. And I don’t tolerate disobedience.”

A brief silence filled the hallway.

“Stay out of my way… and this arrangement will end peacefully.”
