What happens when ruthless and cold hearted Italian Mafia leader Connor Agosti is to be arranged in a marriage with one of the Novikov sister?

Yet, the day arrived when the cold hand of fate forced her into an arranged marriage with a stranger, shattering her world into fragmented shards of a once cherished dream. He was the archetype of a ruthless man- his heart seemingly encased in ice. Rumors spread about his merciless nature, with some voices silenced before they could even whisper his name.

But the moment he laid eyes on his bride-to-be, he regret touching any woman before her- he just didn't know it yet.

A long time ago there were 3 brothers, Rozario, Santiago and Valentino. Their last name is unknown but the fact that they were related is, well, even then this was kept a secret from the world. All 3 brothers wanted the same thing: Power, wealth and respect. Now to attain these things were extremely hard, especially if like them you were born in poverty. So they made a promise, whoever managed to get the power they wanted first, to that brother they would promise to serve and help, their entire bloodline would serve the one brothers and be used as disposable servants. You can probably guess which brother was victorious, and which of the other 2 were not if I told you that the person who leads the entire Mafia was tyrant named Leo Santiago.
