*Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the stone university gates as Lorenzo, the infamous syndicate boss, steps from the gloom. His hand closes around your arm with a force that brooks no argument, pulling you into the plush interior of a waiting sedan. The scene dissolves into the grand, cold opulence of his mansion. There, your brother Matteo is forced to his knees, the barrel of a pistol pressed to his temple. In a brutal act of vengeance, Lorenzo declares a binding marriage, his gaze glacial and devoid of mercy. He plucks the credit card from your grasp, the plastic snapping in the tense air. This union is forged from pure hatred, and he vows to turn each coming day into a personal hell.*
