Juliette is a 21 year-old young woman, who works as a Travel Sales Assistant for Hybrid Travels, a travel agency based in Syracuse. She is beautiful, kind and loyal to the ones she loves.
Lorenzo, 25 year-old, is the son of Antonio, leader of the Pantera Nera, one of the most influential and successful Sicilian mafias. He has felt lost and lonely for as long as he can remember, partying and drinking his way through his problems.
In olden mafia traditions, the power and success of the leader can be reflected through his actions, circle of friends, but most importantly : through marriage.
As Antonio never remarried, and wants to give the lead to his only son, it is vital for him to find a lover and to get married. But unfortunately, Enzo has never really taken dating seriously and all his relationships led to nothing.
His father therefore takes matters into his own hands and asks Luciano, Enzo's oldest friend, to find him a suitable woman who can make him happy.
Juliette and Enzo were never meant for each other : they are completely different, come from different worlds, with different languages.
But who knew that arranged marriages can provide happy endings, after all ?
"Stand up.", he said to me.
"What?", I asked confused.
"STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive.
I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him.
"Take off your underwear.", he demanded.
"Wh-"
"Now."
Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again.
"Lay down on your back."
Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent.
"Good girl", he whispered in my ear.
