(Can be read as a standalone.) My parents are hell bent on getting me married, convinced that a wife will magically "fix" me. As a mafia leader, idle talks and constant affection makes no sense to me. Never had and never will. Thanks to some dumb rule and my parents' constant nagging, I settle down with the girl of their choice. Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking. And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me. I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.

A new enemy was rising, leaving chaos all around. Whoever they were, they were dangerous enough to cause panic among us to the point the Lennoxs, our rival mafia landed at our doorstep presenting themselves as our new allies to fight one common enemy. To show their allyship, they left their only daughter under my roofs, to train and guide her for the common cause. Recovering from a heartbreak, I welcomed this new distraction, a new responsibility only for everything to go downhill because Orla Lennox is dangerous for my heart and the most infuriating person I ever met. Someone I can't have, my enemy's daughter and people like me don't get a happy ending.
