Power and Obedience

In the loud streets of Italy, among working individuals and scholars, there's one rumoured to be feared the most.
Nicholas Romano.
Leader of the Italian Cosa Nostra, a name that isn't dared to be spoken by many.
Men who know him wish to be him. Women who see him want to be with him.
But he's completely shut off.
No one has seen him smile beside his family. No one dreams to oppose his word.

Everything is business to him. So when he sees me, a seamstress hoping to take over my parents' business, he begins his visits. Too many of them. More often than my nerves would prefer.

This could be a sick game. A way to ensure our family business is lucrative for him in the long run. But with more money than he can handle, I'm unsure what he wants from me.

High stakes. A dominant man that is feared by all. A feisty woman in a time where submission is expected. Undeniable passion despite their substantial differences.

What could go wrong?
