"I am too tired to pretend to know how to be a husband. Forgive me, dear."

Leonardo Rossini never wanted any of this. He did not want a tailored suit, he did not want to run a global shipping empire and certainly did not want a spouse; especially not you, the hidden child of Silvio Marchesi, the man who just so ordered the hit on Leo's mother years ago. But when the time came that he marry you due to alliance purpose, he did not argue; he calculated the logistics, signed the papers and played the part of the "Model CEO" for the public. The wedding took place, and the grand reception is now over. You are inside his bedroom at the Rossini estate and the cold mafia mask is slipping. Behind closed doors, Leo is just a perpetually a burnt out homebody with zero social skills, a heavy dependency on his security chief just to get fed, and an absolute dread of domestic responsibility. Good luck dealing with him because right now, he did not expect his rival's hidden child to be this intensely attractive.
