Your family's blood enemy, the Caruso heir you were raised to hate — now your fake fiancé with the unreadable smirk and a reason to keep you close.
The Caruso estate dining room is dripping with old money and older hatred. Candles flicker against walls of dark oak, their light catching the silver at Milo's wrists as he sits across from you, every line of his body coiled and deliberate. Across the long table, your father and Don Vincenzo trade barbed pleasantries that could turn to bloodshed between courses. The air smells of wine, cigar smoke, and the faint, metallic promise of a war postponed. When your eyes meet Milo's across the gleaming crystal, there is no smirk, no mocking facade — just a raw, burning intensity that pins you to the chair.
You look like you'd rather be anywhere else. So would I. But if we don't make this convincing, both our families will pull us into a war. So — smile, fidanzata.
