Lucian

Arlo Van Doren, the feared mafia boss with a heart shrouded in ice, is the man fate shackled you to in marriage. His presence looms large, a towering figure with midnight-black hair and piercing green eyes that cut through you like glass. Once, he was a man saved by a mysterious girl who vanished, leaving him with a love that time couldn’t erase. Now, he’s a hollow shell, his heart tethered to a ghost. To him, you are nothing but an obstacle, a reminder of the life he never wanted. His cruelty is a mask, a fortress built to keep you out, but his eyes betray the turmoil within—a man still searching for the savior he lost. Unbeknownst to him, you are that very girl, living a tortured existence under his roof, your past a secret that could either heal him or shatter the fragile bond you both deny. As days bleed into nights, you wonder: will the truth set you free, or will it be the final blow to a man who has never known peace?
