Oak Street 266 England, abandoned scrap yard, summer.

There is a small workshop hidden within the yard. This place officially belongs to no one, but some individuals tend to settle their business there. And that's exactly how the story begins.

Vino Black (26 y.o), is a young mafia boss, that still has to listen to his father's orders. He has dark raven black hair, one of his eyes is black and the other is half green and half black, it's due to a very rare mutation, but that's another story. His skin is milky white, his height is 1,90m, his body is rather muscular and he has a tattoo on both sides of his neck as for his attitude.... It sucks! He only bows to one person, his father. Well as for his appearance, he is very attractive and any woman would fall for him, (at least while he is quiet.)

Vino is sitting in a chair in front of the man he is interrogating and waits for his answers. Meanwhile, he lets his man do the dirty work.

It has been already 3 hours of violent interrogation, Vino gets mad and walks outside. He stands in front of the workshop and smokes his cigarette.

Areumy Lightwood (23 y.o), is a young pretty girl, with long black hair, and brown eyes, skinny, and short around 1,65m, and has a kind of provocative way of clothing. She is the only child of the Lightwood family, her father is the CEO of a commerce bank and a shareholder in many business spheres. Her father holds her tight, he always chooses business over the family.

Areumy ran away from home because her father mentioned a blind date with a certain individual she hated, as her father's bodyguards chased after her, she decided to hide in the abandoned wreck yard. She is hidden well and the bodyguards lose track. After a while, she tries to sneak around the yard to leave by the back exit.

But before she reached it, she met a handsome man smoking outside, and horrorous sounds coming out from the workshop.

-Vino sees a strange woman-Halt! What are you doing here? 

(He points his gun right at her)

(she raises her hands) I-I am sorry, I just wanted to hide, I didn't know this yard belonged to you, sir.

(He doesn't really trust her)Your name?

(She sights) My name is Areumy, Lightwood

( He hides the gun )If you really are the daughter of the Lightwood family, what are you doing alone, at a place like this, clothed like this...?

( She sights ) I just... happened to run away...

( Vino looks her down from top to toe) You better leave, Now!

( Areumy smiles ) I see you have some business here, I won't tell a soul, but, can you give me one cigarette?

(Vino smiles and hands her one)What about a lighter?

(He sights and lights it for her)(She thinks for a while) And who might you be?

(Vino raises his eyebrow) Do you have a dead wish?

(Areumy smiles) No, sorry, I was just... kinda interested

( Vino sights ) Run home angel, these streets are not safe for you.

( Areumy sights ) And what if even my own home is not safe for me?

(Vino is not answering that question and he completely ignores it) You should leave before anyone else sees you, I mean it, girl.

(She sights ) Goodbye then, stranger

She leaves the yard and suddenly, her father's man surrounds her. ( She sights ) Okay, you caught me.( They took her home, her father was, for her luck very occupied with work to be able to punish her)( She closes herself in the room and watches the moon)

Vino still stands outside, he can't help himself, he is still thinking about her. He smiles and something evil is on his mind.

(His man came out and told him that they succeeded) Okay, clean it up and you are free for the night.( He enters his Ferrari and leaves the yard)

His driving is a little crazy and reckless, but he still always manages to get home safely. He arrives at the Grand Hill manor. It is a well-hidden mansion inside of a dark forest on the Grand o'Blake Hill. He parks his car right next to the door and leaves it be. ( He enters and goes straight to his father's study room)

Father, I have the news:

Darwin Black, an old sadistic man, won't ever let anyone disrespect him, be it his son, his friend, or even his wife, no one leaves without a punishment. He is very strict in everything he does, even though he left Vino for the boss role, he still pulls the strings behind everything.

He says: What news?

( Vino sights ) We have caught that Donorovy guy and gained new intel.

(His father sights) I hope it's worth it.

( Vino smiles ) Definitely.

( The conversation is nothing very interesting tho, they talk about the new dealer that has been meddling in their business.)

( Darwin is pleased and gives him another order)Okay Father, I understand, but there is one last thing I want to ask

(He is pleased by the intel so he listens to him ) What do we have on the Lightwood family?

(His father gets surprised, shocked, and also pleased by the question)Why do you suddenly ask for the Lighwood family?

( Vino sights ) I heard they have a beautiful daughter

( Darwin smiles ) Indeed, she is a good match, I have been thinking for a while to set you up with her.

( Vino is surprised) You did?

(Darwin sights) They have what we need, they have connections and intel, exactly what we need, and as for the money, well her father is a great businessman.

(Vino is kind of caught off guard)I see, why didn't you set me up with her already then?

( Darwin sights ) It would be complicated

( Vino sights ) I was thinking... would you sacrifice one of your bank accounts for a daughter-in-law like her?

(Darwin gets suspicious) The gate you would open by making her your wife would be worth even more, but why are you asking me all of this?

( Vino smiles ) I saw her

( Darwin laughs ) I see, she messed up your mind, do you intend to negotiate with her father?( Vino sights ) Only with your permission Father.

( Darwin smiles ) Good, now I will have a reason to celebrate, go and negotiate what you want, it's a worthy deal.

( Vino smiles ) I won't disappoint you, father

Vino then sits in his car and leaves his father's mansion. He is living in a mansion not far away from the Grand Hill.

Compared to the Grand Hill manor, his mansion is smaller, more cozy, and a bit more modern. He lives here with his subordinates and his room is on the top floor of the two-floored mansion. He usually walks straight to his room and doesn't really talk much, but today, he asked his man to gather around.

( Vino sights ) I am getting married soon, I want you all to prepare for the ceremony and make some other space in my room, the wedding will be held..... This Friday ( He smiles viciously)

His subordinates were surprised by his sudden announcement but they got to it right away.Vino then went to his room, locked the door, and rested.Meanwhile, Areumy knows nothing, she just looks out of the window and dreams about the life she always wanted to live.
