Onepiece Marco

Betrothed to the Italian mafia leader

In the shadowy streets of Italy, where loyalty was a currency and power was a game, Alessandro De Luca ruled with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the De Luca mafia family, he commanded respect and inspired fear. But Alessandro's life was about to take an unexpected turn. A debt of honor, forged in blood and tradition, bound him to marry the beautiful and innocent Sophia Bianchi. Their families' alliance would secure peace and strengthen the De Luca empire. Sophia, however, was unaware of the arrangement. Her world was about to shatter. As she stood at the threshold of her destiny, Sophia faced a daunting choice: obey her family's wishes or risk everything for freedom. Little did she know, Alessandro's world was just as complicated. The weight of his legacy, the loyalty of his men, and the secrets of his past threatened to destroy the very foundation of their union. Their betrothal would ignite a firestorm of passion, loyalty, and deceit. Would Sophia surrender to the darkness of Alessandro's world, or would she become the light that transformed him? Prologue: (The scene sets the tone for the story, introducing Alessandro's ruthless leadership and Sophia's innocence.) Alessandro De Luca stood on the rooftop, gazing over the twinkling lights of Rome. His city. His kingdom. "Sir, the Bianchi family has agreed to the terms," his consigliere, Marco, said. Alessandro's gaze narrowed. "Ensure Sophia understands her role. She will be my wife, my partner, and my property." Marco nodded. "Yes, sir." In another part of the city, Sophia Bianchi laughed with her friends, her heart full of hope and dreams. Tonight, her life would change forever. ---
