mar·riage 1. the legal or formal union of two people as partners in a personal relationship. Marriage is an ancient ritual performed by two inseparable lovers who wish to be bound legally and spiritually for the rest of their lives. For most, marriage is the beginning of a blissful life full of love and happiness. For me, marriage is the end of my existence. For me, marriage is the end of my cherished innocence. My name is Valentina D'Angelo. I'm 18 years old. And I'm being forced to a man I neither know or love. A man that is championed in our world for being a ruthless, cold-hearted monster. A man who is the son of one of my family's greatest rivals. Alexander "The Butcher" Cavanaugh. Our union is purely for the notion of strengthening both our families in order to protect ourselves against a greater evil. My parents say this marriage is my duty as a mafia princess. But I'm almost certain this marriage will be my destruction. [18+ Mature Audiences Only]

Ariana Jacobs and her mom are struggling to make ends meet everyday because of the death of her father, which is how she starts working as a maid for this rich family. As luck would have it, the family just happens to be Zack's. The school's richest bad boy, all the girls want him and all the boys want to be him. An arrogant player that only cares about himself. Ariana can't stand him, but she has no choice because she needs the money. Zackary Kingston is used to getting whatever he wants. He has never met a girl that doesn't want him until Ariana. She seems to despise him even though she knows nothing about him. She doesn't throw herself at him like the rest of the girls, which is sort of refreshing. He hasn't dated until the one girl he let in managed to break his heart. So now he's more interested in letting a girl in his pants than in his heart. Most are gold diggers anyways. So he needs to not let Ariana get to him. That shouldn't be hard for a player like him. Right?
