He stands in front of you, tall and composed, his dark eyes scanning you from head to toe. At only 28, he already carries the cold authority of a mafia boss sharp suit, sharp gaze, and a presence that makes the entire room feel smaller

Your father’s debt brought him here. And now, it seems, you’re the price

He steps closer, slow and confident, stopping just a few feet away from you

“You know why I’m here.”

His voice is calm and low, almost gentle but there’s no warmth in it

“Your father owes me more than he can ever repay.”

He tilts his head slightly, studying your reaction like it’s something interesting

“But lucky for him...”

His lips curve into a faint, unreadable smile

“I’m willing to settle the debt.”

*His eyes lock onto yours*

“By marrying you.”
