1-𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐘

In the land of Italy lived two rival gangs. Both have a big influence across the world. They were able to do whatever they wanted and control people like they were pawns. As the family's grew bigger and bigger, so did their intense rivalry.

The family opposing Y/n's family had a son around Y/n's age. His name was Pantalone. He was known for his wits and valorous personality. He was always able to stay calm and collected while he dealt with his utmost enemies. That's what made him so admirable.

However, even though he had his own problems. He was a player. He was the type of guy to have sex then forget about you. The type who seemed like a gentleman but would discard you like a toy. His victims were left distraught, or some even laughed at by their own familes.

But, Pantalone didn't care about what people thought of him. All he wanted was to control all that was around him.

He was a manipulator.

A monster.

. . .

I sat on my bed in my room when my mum opened the door. She stared at me with a look of disdain, which I reciprocated.

"Y/n someone sent you a letter. Read it." She placed it onto my desk and left the room. Dragging myself off my bed, I walked over to my desk and opened the letter.

Dear Y/n,

I'm glad to invite you to the Milan Masquerade party. It will be on saturday 20th April at Milan Palace and I hope you are able to attend.

Make sure to dress your best.

From X.

I wondered if I should I go or not, I felt apprehensive. All the people who were invited to that party were either high in prestige or had a villanious history. But that shouldn't affect me.

After my breakup with my ex parties and gatherings scared me. But this was an opportunity I wanted to take. I wanted to meet someone new so I could recover.

Opening my phone, I added the date to my calendar and decided that I needed to go shopping for a new dress. I needed to appear as a bombshell.

Grabbing my bag and putting on a pair of converses, I went into the garage and opened my car door.

Milan was a lovely city. It was a sunny spring day, and the sun gleamed in the sky. Once arriving at the dress store, I parked up my car and put my sunglasses on.

Two butlers opened the door for me, and I walked into the boutique. A shop assistant then greeted me.

"Hello miss, what would you like to buy today?" The petite lady asked me.
"I would like a dress. A sexy dress."I told her.
"I see follow me."She said.

I followed on behind her until I was brought to a room filled with different dresses. They were all unique in their own ways, but one stood out to me. It was a black dress with a flowy trail and a split by the knee. It was embellished with pearls and sparkles. It was everything I could ever want.

"I like that black dress." I told the shop assistant.
"It would look beautiful on you. Is there anything you want to change about the dress?" She asked me.
"Give it an open back a sweetheart neckline and long sleeves." I told her.
"Yes, miss. Would you like to follow me to the designers office so I can confirm your order." The shop assistant asked me.
"Yes." I told her.

. . .

After following the shop assistant upstairs. I was bought into an office and greeted by the head designer at the boutique, Gianni. He had known me since I was a young child and was always very kind to me.

"Ah Y/n long time no see, how are you, my dear." He asked.
"I am good. Can you craft me a dress for a Masquerade party?" I said.
"Yes, my dear, the shop assistant already told me about your order. I will make sure to design it to the best of my abilities." He said, smiling brightly.
"Thank you. Can you get it done before the 20th of April." I asked.
"Most definitely." He said.

After discussing everything with Gianni, I left the boutique and went to an ice cream shop.

After ordering my vanilla ice cream, I sat down and watched videos on my phone. Until someone sat in front of me. Glancing up from my phone, I stared at him. He was hot. His bewitching blue eyes stared at his phone while his slender fingers swiped along his phone screen.

He had a muscular, athletic build with a chiselled jaw. His hair was black and long, flowing all the way down to his shoulders.
He was clothed in a black turtle neck and wore a pair of silver glasses.

"Miss, is everything okay?" He asked me. His voice was smooth and deep.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Why do you ask?" I replied.
"You have been staring at me for the past 5 minutes."He said.
"Oh...I'm so sorry. You're really handsome, that's why." I told him.
"Oh, you're quite the straightforward one. Thank you, though, your ravishing as well." He voiced. "Well, are you going to a party on Saturday?"
How did he know that. "Yes I am, are you?" I told him.
"Yes Y/n I am X, after all." The mysterious man said, getting up from his seat and walking out the shop.

How did he know my name? I wondered. He seemed to have a lot of influence in Italy as well.

After finishing my ice cream, I walked out of the shop and began my drive back to the mansion.

. . .

"Y/N HOW DARE YOU JUST LEAVE THE HOUSE LIKE THAT. YOU DISOBEDIENT CHILD." My mother screamed as soon as I opened the door.
"Why do you even care where I am? It's not like you care about me anyway. Just leave me alone." I told her, walking past her.
"Well, guess what, while you were out, you were getting hunted by the rival gang. Everyone in the family was concerned, but you don't seem to care about that."My mum said.
"Oh well, that's inevitable." I said, walking up the stairs and storming into my room.

. . .

"So you met her son." A man said, his voice echoing through the phone.
"Yes, she will be at the party on Saturday. She's the pillar of that family, one I must learn more about." He replied.
"Good luck, son."the man said.
"Don't worry, dad." He said, ending the call.
