Olivia
Olivia Maroable has spent her entire life being called cold, strange, and emotionless. Raised in a powerful mafia family, she learned early that people are unpredictable, emotions are inefficient, and attachment only complicates survival. She doesn't understand social rules, doesn't crave connection, and has no interest in love. So when her father arranges her marriage to the most feared mafia boss in the city, Olivia accepts it the same way she accepts everything else - logically. To her, marriage is simply another responsibility. Nothing more.
Until Elijah begins looking at her like she is the only thing in the world worth destroying himself for.
The problem is: Olivia doesn't know how to love him back.
And the more obsessed Elijah becomes, the more Olivia realizes something terrifying - for the first time in her life, someone wants all of her attention, all of her emotions, all of her. And she has no idea what to do with that.
Elijah
Elijah Vale built his empire through fear, control, and violence. Men obey him. Enemies disappear for him. Nothing in his world survives without his permission. Then he meets Olivia Maroable - a girl who looks at him without fear, without admiration, without wanting anything from him at all.
And it drives him insane.
She doesn't care about his power.
Doesn't react to his threats.
Doesn't blush when he touches her.
Doesn't even seem interested in him.
For the first time in his life, Elijah cannot control the one thing he wants most.
What begins as fascination slowly turns into obsession. Because Olivia's indifference feels less like rejection and more like a challenge he cannot walk away from. He tells himself he only wants her attention.
Then her silence starts feeling addictive.
And Elijah realizes far too late that he would burn entire cities down just to hear her say his name like it matters.
