Asteria
My life is, well, Mafia. I am known to be one of the deadliest mafia killers to exist. Given the nickname " The Ripper" at the age of 14. I wasn't always like this. I was a happy girl. Until everything changed. Until I become a monster in the need of revenge. Until I became numb and empty. Until I become cold and didn't believe in love and affection.
But then, suddenly I am meant to get married. Zeus Moretti. The most annoying and infuriating men to ever exist.
Don't get me wrong, he's handsome and has the skills to be the Capo of the Moretti
empire. Soon I'm meant to marry him. His warm smile, dimple cheeks, and beaming atmosphere is unnerving. But with more time we spend together, can I hope to be happy and fall in love? Is it worth the chance of trusting him? Hope is after all a dark concept.
I am Asteria Ricardo.
And this is my story.
Zeus
My life is, well, Mafia. I am known to be "The Blade" because of my skills with knives. And I am also going to be the future Capo of the Moretti Empire. People say I'm always sweet, bright, and funny. But hey, who says you can't be funny and kill others? The truth is, no one knows the real me. No one knows the guilt and pain through which I have suffered for years.
Now, to become the Capo, I am meant to be married. Asteria Ricardo. Second heir of the Ricardo Empire. The most beautiful and deadly woman I have ever met. My first kiss and first love. Always a scowling face and a grumpy mood. All I want to do is take care of her and show her that she is loved. But will she let me? Let's hope so. After all, Hope is a dark concept.
I am Zeus Moretti.
And this is my story.
