Love.
Love Morales didn't always despise her name. But the first time she fell in love, she fell. Just fell, with no one to catch her. Contrary to her name, she started hating her name. Herself. Everything around her. She was young and vulnerable. She didn't know the ways of the world. So, it wasn't just a "heartbreak" that altered her from Love to Dahlia.
Ares. Just Ares. No middle name, no last name. No, he wasn't an orphan. With his father always away for "business", or rather Mafia business, and him still not knowing the whereabouts of his mother, he grew up pretty much without a family. Except for his best friend (whom he refuses to accept, is his best friend), Ethan King, Ares would have probably burnt the world down.
When it's time for Ares to take over the Mafia, he collides with the daughter of his father's right-hand man. Dahlia. When they collide, they feel sparks between them. Not sparks of love, not sparks of hatred.. sparks of indifference.
Can Dahlia show Ares what, or rather who Love is? And can Ares find it in him to love when he's never been told he's loved and wanted?
