Arthur
Inheriting my father's construction empire was a heavy burden, but it brought me two things I cherish above all: money and power. I would stop at nothing to keep them, even if it meant dirtying my hands with the mafia.
Life, as unpredictable as it is, threw a new obsession my way: Isabella Green. At just 27, she stands as my fiercest business rival, and I'm consumed by my hatred for her.

Raised to uphold righteousness and honesty at all costs, I'm now questioning the price. What if the cost is too high? What if there are shades of grey between black and white? And what if I'm irresistibly drawn to that grey?
