The air inside the grand hall is heavy. Like breathing through smoke. Sophia stands in the center, dressed like a doll—silk draped over a woman whose heart pounds like a caged animal. Her father, the architect of her prison, smiles as three shadows step forward.
Sophia
Age: 22
Appearance:
Her skin is porcelain, with just a hint of rose to her cheeks. Long, chestnut-brown hair cascades down her back, brushing the base of her spine. Her eyes, wide and honey-brown, hold a mix of fear and defiance, like a deer cornered but ready to fight. A small, slightly upturned nose and full lips—often a bit raw from nerves—complete her delicate face.
Personality:
Sophia is resilient despite her circumstances. She's quiet but sharp, observing everything and calculating silently while others underestimate her. She hates being controlled, though years under her father's thumb taught her to play along—at least for now.
Likes:
Drawing in secret (a world only she can control). The scent of rain before a storm.In books about freedom, though, irony makes her sick.
Dislikes:
Being touched without permission. The sound of locked doors.
Overconfident men who think they own her.
Leonardo "Leo" Vieri (Husband 1: The Calculating Devil)
Age: 30
Appearance:
Leo's presence is sharp enough to cut through silence. He has piercing blue eyes—cold as glaciers—and jet-black hair, slicked back to perfection. His jaw is angular, his lips thin but perpetually curled into a smug smile, like he knows everyone's secrets. Always dressed in black suits tailored to emphasize his lean, commanding frame.
Personality:
Leo is a strategist—a cold and meticulous mafia leader who rarely loses control. He speaks softly, but every word bites harder than a bullet. Sophia can already tell he's the type to watch someone unravel just for his amusement.
Likes:
Chess. He always wins. Control—of his world, his enemies, and now, of Sophia. Fine wine aged longer than most people live.
Dislikes:
Messiness, in life or death. Disobedience. Small talk.
Hobby:
He paints, though no one would ever guess—abstract canvases drenched in reds and blacks, like violence given color.
Adrian Moretti (Husband 2: The Wild Rebel)
Age: 28
Appearance:
Adrian is chaos personified. Silver hair falls in loose waves across his forehead, defying any attempts at order. His eyes are storm-gray, a restless swirl that hints at an untamed fire. Tall and broad-shouldered, Adrian looks more like a predator in waiting, dressed in half-buttoned shirts that show glimpses of intricate tattoos crawling across his chest and forearms.
Personality:
Adrian is impulsive, reckless, and impossible to ignore. He laughs too loud, fights too hard, and hates losing more than anything. Where Leo is ice, Adrian is fire, burning bright and unpredictable.
Likes:
Fast cars and faster decisions. Whiskey straight from the bottle. The thrill of a good fight—physical or verbal.
Dislikes:
Rules. He follows his own. Anyone who thinks they can control him. Sitting still for too long.
Hobby:
He plays guitar—badly, but passionately. It's the only time he seems at peace.
Nicolas "Nico" De Luca (Husband 3: The Quiet Enigma)
Age: 32
Appearance:
Nico blends into shadows like he was born there. His hair is a dark chocolate brown, slightly tousled, as if he's always just run his fingers through it. His eyes are a deep emerald green, sharp but distant, like he's always thinking of a place no one can reach. His face is softer than Leo's, but there's a quiet danger in his calm demeanor. Nico rarely smiles, and when he does, it's as fleeting as smoke.
Personality:
Nico is the silent storm. He doesn't waste words; he doesn't need to. When he moves, it's with deliberate, predatory grace, and people step aside without thinking. Of the three, he's the hardest to read—and maybe the most dangerous because of it.
Likes:
Books. His personal library could rival a museum. Silence. He finds comfort in it. Animals, particularly stray cats—though he'll deny it.
Dislikes:
Liars. His patience is thin for deceit. Crowds and loud places. Being underestimated.
Hobby:
He collects old, rare books. Their stories are easier to understand than people.
