Jake and Kolen || forced marriage

Dahlia stood before Jake and Kolen, the two men who would now be her husbands, bound to her not by love, but by the relentless need to keep their Mafia families together. Jake, with his cold and impenetrable posture, held her hand firmly, making it clear that from now on, she was caught in a web of dangerous alliances. Kolen, more intense and provocative, stared at her with a half smile, his eyes shining with a mixture of possession and curiosity.

She felt the weight of the situation; there was no choice, only the obligation to move forward. The two men, so different and so relentless, now had control over her destiny. Jake whispered in her ear“Welcome to our world.” Kolen, approaching with an almost possessive touch, added“You will learn to like it.”

The mixture of fear and attraction grew inside her. Dahlia knew that her new life with them would be a constant dance between danger and fascination, and that running away was no longer an option.

Dahlia is a strong, independent young woman with a past marked by the need to survive and family responsibilities. She has always avoided the world of crime, but finds herself forced into it when she becomes the wife of two mobsters, Jake and Kolen. Initially reluctant, she gradually realizes that both have layers and complexities that challenge her first impressions, and finds within herself a mixture of fear and fascination that she did not expect.
Jake is cold, calculating and rigid, as if he had an armor that nothing can penetrate. As the head of one of the most powerful families, he believes that feelings are a weakness and sees Dahlia as a strategic move. However, little by little he finds himself intrigued by her strength and resilience, which begins to destabilize his emotional control.
Kolen is intense and unpredictable, with a domineering yet fiery nature. Although he also sees Dahlia as a power player, he is quicker to give in to his own feelings and finds pleasure in teasing her and testing her reactions. He feels a connection with her that Jake tries to resist, which creates a contrast between them and tension within the trio.

Dahlia:
Loss of Family: She has lost people close to her due to turf wars, which has left her resentful of the criminal world, but now finds herself connected to it against her will.
Independence and Vulnerability: She has always valued her freedom and believed that she did not need anyone to survive. This forced marriage puts her in a vulnerable position, challenging her self-sufficiency.
Martial Arts Skill: To protect herself in a hostile environment, she learned self-defense, but now she feels powerless against the two most powerful men in the city.
Jake:
Traumatic Past: He lost his younger brother in a family conflict, which made him rigid and calculating, always putting business above feelings.
Disguised Care: Although cold there are times when he cares for her.
