In the dark underworld, Seventeen reigns supreme as a ruthless mafia gang of thirteen members, feared by all. Yuri, an innocent soul, endures a life of abuse at the hands of her foster parents. What twists of fate will unfold when Seventeen and Yuri...
Yuri woke up to the soft rays of the morning sun filtering through the curtains. It was her first morning as Seventeen’s wife—a title that felt as foreign as it did suffocating. The weight of it settled heavily on her chest, sending chills down her spine. She wasn’t just an unknown girl living with them anymore; she was now their lawfully wedded wife. The reality of her situation crashed over her like a tidal wave.
She turned her head slowly to the side, her breath catching as she saw Dino sleeping peacefully beside her. His arm was draped across her waist, holding her close even in sleep, his expression soft and calm. It was such a contrast to the turmoil brewing inside her. Carefully, she moved, slipping out from under his hold, not wanting to wake him. The last thing she needed right now was to face any of them—not yet.
She quietly made her way to the bathroom, her steps echoing in the quiet room. Closing the door behind her, she leaned against it, exhaling shakily. The mirror reflected a version of her she barely recognized. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her hair a mess, and the weight of everything was clear in her expression. She splashed cold water on her face, trying to wash away the remnants of the night before, but no amount of water could rid her of the reality she now faced.
Standing there, staring at herself, she tried to steady her breathing, tried to prepare herself for what the day would bring. This was her fate now, bound to Seventeen—not just one of them, but all of them. It felt like a cage, no matter how luxurious the room or how gentle some of them had seemed at times. She had to get ready, not just physically, but mentally. They expected her to be theirs, to accept this twisted life they had forced upon her.
Her heart ached for what she had lost—her freedom, her choices, her longlost family. And though she tried to steel herself for the day ahead, the uncertainty of what was to come filled her with dread. All she wanted was to escape, but for now, she had to face her new reality, even if it meant stepping into a life she never wanted.
As Yuri stepped out of the bathroom, her heart still heavy, she took a moment to look around the room properly. Last night, everything had been a blur—her emotions, the forced vows, and the suffocating feeling of being trapped. But now, in the soft morning light, she could finally take in her surroundings.
The room was surprisingly different from what she had expected. It wasn’t cold or dark like some of the others she had seen before. Instead, it felt... warm, almost comforting. There were enough lights around the room, soft and golden, casting a gentle glow across the space. It wasn’t overly extravagant, but there was a simplicity that made her feel a slight sense of relief.

She noticed little things—items that seemed to reflect Dino’s personality. A few framed photos of him and a photo of Yuri, It was a lived-in space, not just a place of luxury, and that, for some reason, calmed her nerves just a bit.
