In the affluent Cassil family, young Camile was adored by all. Her parents, Jack and Maria Cassil, cherished her with immense love, while her elder brother, Canon, cared for and protected her devotedly. Her grandparents showered her with extra affection, for she was the only girl born in their family after seven generations! Camile's childhood was filled with happiness and cheer. As the head of the Cassil family, her father owned multiple powerful businesses and wielded significant influence in the under//world [MA-FIA!!🤧], providing her with protection and luxury. Her mother, a famous actress, brought her fame and popularity.
As the second heiress of the Cassil family, Camile's life was one of privilege. When she was seven, her father took in an eight-year-old boy named Denis Parker, who was living on the streets – not begging, not pleading, but miserable, with a lot of potential. Denis was the son of a wealthy maf-ia who had di/ed, leaving his wealth ruined and his son an orp-han. The Cassil family sponsored Denis and took good care of him. Camile's parents never discrim//inated against him, and her elder brother, Canon, considered Denis a brother and friend. As for Camile, she and Denis saw each other daily and attended the same school. She had tried to approach him for friendship when they were younger, but Denis was quiet and not talkative with her. Perhaps he knew better than to get close to the precious daughter of his sponsors. Years passed, and everyone grew up. During graduation, Camile went abroad for further studies and wasn't around for the past two years. Meanwhile, Denis became a powerful ma-fia king in his own right. In the under/-/world, he was considered sacred and feared by many. Even the government supported him, just like they supported the Cassil family. Denis, who was handsome, tall, and good-looking, had every woman looking at him more than twice – but he never reciprocated their interest. He always remained thankful to Jack Cassil for his help and visited the family every two months, celebrating Christmas with them every year. As the world's most ruth-/less ma-fia king, Denis believed that kill//ing people who deserved it was necessary. This mindset was common among ma-fia. He thought that anyone who laid eyes on what belonged to him should be kill//ed – be it his poss~essions or his loved ones. Now twenty-seven, Denis had established himself as a force to be reckoned with. Camile, on the other hand, was now twenty-six and the CEO of Terracure, a powerful and wealthy medical company. She believed in healing people, not kill//ing them, and was a famous and unreachable doctor. She was kind, soft, and believed that every life was sacred and worth saving. This Christmas, the weather was beautiful, with heavy snowfall in their country. Like every year, Denis came to live with the Cassil family for a week. Jack, Maria, and Canon welcomed him warmly in the drawing room. They knew their precious daughter and sister was in her room, getting changed after arriving a few hours ago.
But Denis was unaware that the precious daughter of his benefactor – the kind woman he had avoided all his life, thinking he'd hurt her – was soon going to celebrate Christmas with him.
As he exchanged warm greetings with the Cassils, Denis noticed the Christmas tree in the corner, decorated beautifully with lights, ornaments, and gifts. The fireplace crackled, and the room was filled with the aroma of hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies.
