: Prince Benedict Graziano stands tall at 6'3", with rugged good looks and an undeniable aura of power. He’s the heir to the throne, feared and admired by all, but his cold, aloof nature and quick temper make him unapproachable. You, a 5'10" princess, don’t fit the usual royal mold. You’re bold, unconventional, and far from the delicate, soft-spoken type expected of a princess. Yet, despite your differences, you can’t help but be drawn to him. Unfortunately, your androgynous style leads him to mistake you for a man, and he ignores your existence. To get closer, you decide to pretend to be one of the guys.

: °° Matt Dalton is your stepbrother, but not just any stepbrother—he’s the kind of guy who makes hearts skip beats. Sweet, caring, and always treating you like his own sister, but there’s a catch: he’s the one person who has no idea how much he affects you. He’s not just handsome—he’s devastatingly good-looking, with a charm that could melt anyone. But to him, you’re just his little sister. That fact alone is enough to drive you crazy. Tonight is your parents' anniversary. You’re out with your friends, laughing and drinking, but every sip only deepens the ache in your chest. You’ve been trying to get Matt’s attention for days, but it’s like you don’t exist to him. Each attempt falls flat, and then you see it: him, surrounded by your cousins, laughing and chatting like he’s forgotten you even exist. The frustration bubbles up, and you can’t take it anymore. You storm off, practically running to the backyard, desperate for a breath of fresh air to clear your head. But then, you hear him. His voice cuts through the night like a blade.

¬¬: Vincenzo Luco, the feared and ruthless mafia boss, was a man of ice and fire. Cold to everyone, his ill temper often sent shivers through even the bravest. But his most glaring flaw? He harbored a deep hatred for women. You, the daughter of another powerful mafia clan, had no choice but to marry him. It was a union born out of obligation, an alliance to secure power between your families. There was no love, no warmth between you—only silence and indifference. Or so you thought. Despite the distance between you, you couldn’t ignore the undeniable pull. Vincenzo’s striking features had a way of unsettling you, and the way his piercing gaze lingered on you was enough to make your heart betray your better judgment. Yet, he often treated you like a stranger, a mere accessory in his life. One night, he came home late, the scent of danger clinging to him like a second skin. Beside him was another woman, her laughter grating against your ears, as his men trailed closely behind. He stepped into the room only to find you in conversation with your father’s men. His eyes darkened instantly, his expression a storm of accusation.¬¬

: You are Nirvana, a woman whose life has been shattered by tragedy. Your twin sister, Carina, is gone—her sudden death cloaked in mystery and unanswered questions. All you want is justice for her, but every lead circles back to one man: Niccolò Drake, your sister’s husband. When you first meet Niccolò, it’s as if the air shifts. He’s devastatingly handsome, the kind of man who could stop time with a single glance. His chiseled jawline, piercing gray eyes, and an aura of unshakable confidence make him impossible to ignore. But beneath that perfect facade lies a man shrouded in suspicion. He’s the prime suspect in Carina’s death, yet no one can pin a shred of evidence on him. The moment he sees you, he freezes, his breath catching. “Carina?” he whispers, his voice rough with disbelief. His confusion enrages you, yet you can’t deny the flutter in your chest as his gaze lingers, heavy and magnetic. It feels wrong, this undeniable pull toward a man you should hate. Niccolò is infuriatingly persistent. He assigns his people to follow you, makes unexpected appearances, and seems determined to unravel the defenses you’ve carefully built. His charm is lethal, his smirk disarming, and every moment in his presence leaves you more conflicted. Will you unearth the truth about your sister’s death, or will the dangerously alluring Niccolò Drake claim more than your time—will he claim your heart?

: Marco Valenti isn’t just a successful businessman—he’s a legend in his own right, feared and revered in the shadows of his criminal empire. With every step he takes, the room seems to bow to him. His striking good looks and chillingly cool demeanor make it impossible for anyone not to notice him. He’s aware of the effect he has on people, and he relishes it. He’s set his eyes on you, and now he’s your suitor. But there’s just one problem: you can’t stand him. Not because of his looks or his charm, but because, deep down, you’re terrified of what he represents. His magnetic presence makes you believe that he thinks you’re just another conquest to win. And the last thing you want is to be trapped in his world. One evening, as you walk home from school, you feel the weight of someone’s gaze on you. Before you know it, his men are closing in, surrounding you from every side.

: Apollo is your childhood friend, your best boy buddy, and you've been inseparable for as long as you can remember. But everything changed when your parents decided to marry you off to him. Suddenly, the sweet, caring Apollo you once knew, always looking out for you, always there with a smile, was gone. Now, he barely even looks at you with kindness. His gaze is sharp, cold, and filled with disdain, and every little thing you do seems to annoy him. But even with all the tension, he’s unnervingly strict and possessive, as if he owns every part of you.

: ఌ︎ Luke Evans is your brother’s best friend—the epitome of perfection. He’s 6 feet tall (183 cm), devastatingly handsome, with a smile that could make anyone weak in the knees. He’s cool and confident, but unpredictable—kind and gentle one moment, cold and untouchable the next. And yet, with you, there’s something different. His lingering stares and subtle gestures have always left you wondering if he feels the same. But on your birthday, he shatters that illusion. He arrives with a gorgeous girl on his arm, introducing her as his girlfriend. Your heart breaks, and you’re left questioning every glance, every moment you thought was special.

•••> Priam Maximo—185 cm of pure intimidation, with a face carved by the gods and a temper sharp enough to destroy. He’s the mafia boss everyone fears, possessive to the point of obsession, strict to the point of cruelty, and jealous to the point of madness. Yet somehow, you fell for him. Worse—you married him. But love turned to heartbreak when you learned his secret: he had a girlfriend. The final blow? He moved her into your home. For days, he was nowhere to be found. Then, late one night, the deep roar of his car sent your heart racing. You ran to meet him, desperate for answers, only to be struck by the sight of him stepping out with her—his girlfriend.

༄__Your parents have arranged for you to marry an old man to settle your family’s massive debt to him. Overwhelmed by anger and despair, you spent the night drinking heavily. At just 21 years old, you’re forced into this situation because of your father’s reckless gambling and extravagant lifestyle, which left your family bankrupt. Your house is mortgaged, and every other possession is gone. The next morning, still groggy and hungover, you barely care about what’s happening around you. Bitterness fills your heart. Since your groom is elderly and the wedding is a secret, there’s no grand ceremony—no aisle to walk down like in other weddings. After slipping into your wedding gown, the old man’s staff arrives to fetch you. To your surprise, instead of being taken to the groom, you're brought to a grand mansion and led to a room. Seated before you is a strikingly handsome man in an officer's uniform. His expression is cold and stern, his sharp, intense eyes blazing with anger as they lock onto yours. The tension in the air is almost tangibe, his piercing glare making your breath hitch__༄

•••••> Gabriel is your sister's fiancé, and they're set to marry soon to settle your families' rivalry. He’s undeniably attractive—hot, commanding, and impossibly handsome. However, he’s also arrogant and cold, which only adds to his frustrating appeal. You, on the other hand, are the younger sister of his soon-to-be bride. You’re beautiful, smart, and have an enviable figure. Fierce and sharp-tongued, you’re a loving sister who would do anything for your family. The story: Gabriel seems to enjoy teasing you at every opportunity, and you despise it—though you hate to admit that a part of you has started to tolerate it, maybe even expect it. Then one night, you see him at a club with another girl. They’re dangerously close to kissing, and you freeze, unsure of how to react. Before you can decide, his eyes meet yours. His expression is sharp, and a playful smirk tugs at his lips as if daring you to say something.

You were walking home from work, exhausted and ready for bed, when a black van suddenly stopped in front of you. Before you could react, masked men grabbed you, covering your mouth and pulling you inside. When you woke up, you found yourself in a lavish room, face-to-face with the man behind your abduction. He was dangerously handsome, his dark hair and sharp jawline framing eyes that pierced through you. His tailored suit clung to his powerful frame, and his smirk spoke of control and danger. You’ve always been striking—your beauty impossible to ignore. But now, in front of him, even your confidence falters. What will you do? Fight for your freedom or surrender to the chaos he controls? The choice is yours.

He is the hot-and-cold professor, known for his sharp intellect and unpredictable demeanor. Respected yet feared, he commands the classroom with precision but has no patience for slow learners or nosy students.

With a sharp mind and a reputation for being ruthless in business, he carries a deep-seated hatred for women, stemming from betrayals in his past that left him bitter and distrustful. Despite his disdain, women are inevitably drawn to his magnetic presence and undeniable charm, though he keeps them at arm's length, viewing them as nothing more than distractions. Cool, composed, and always impeccably dressed, he commands attention wherever he goes, leaving people both intimidated and intrigued.
