An arranged marriage ties Pete to Vegas, not for love but for power-a union born from business and the ruthless world of the mafia. For Pete, the vows mean more than a contract. He quietly loves the man who stands beside him, even as Vegas keeps him at arm's length. To Vegas, Pete is both a partner and a reminder of what he lost, the convenient scapegoat for the end of his past with Yim.
Their fragile bond fractures under the weight of mistrust and unspoken feelings, yet fate binds them tighter when a child, Venice, is born. Vegas fulfills his role as a father, but his heart remains divided, unwilling to admit the depth of what Pete and their son truly mean to him. Between betrayal, power struggles, and wounds that refuse to heal, Pete learns that loving a man who cannot love him back may be the most dangerous gamble of all.
Can Vegas learn to love them before it's too late? Or will the day come when Pete walks away, choosing to protect his child from further hurt-even if it means breaking his own heart?
