She walked in making her high heels tap the polished floor of the villa like she owned everyone and everything in there.

Chapter 2

Next scene
It was 2:00 a.m. In a lonely street where streetlights were trying to win against the darkness of the night, A black shiny car was being driven as if it owned the darkness. Inside the car sat a Man dressed in fine black Italian royal tuxedo which screamed wealth, power, danger and an unspeakable silence. And an aura which was hard to ignore even when they know that before them stood the living devil, who could destroy them in the cruellest way without even blinking.

("care for me?" *chuckles* I might have believed those words if i had not seen him kick my mother to death and locking me away In a dark and isolated room to starve. He gave me food only to prevent me from dying. Not because he cared for me. He is setting up blind dates for me not because he's afraid i will end up alone but because all those women were the daughters of very influential families. It was to use me help him have a backbone by letting me marry a powerful family's daughter, so that his company becomes more powerful than any other companies. That bastard will never change)

Chapter 3

Intruduction:
NovelToon
Seraphina Russo
The name Seraphina Russo was spoken with awe, fear, and reverence. She was beauty itself— striking, divine, a goddess dressed in mortal skin. Yet, her beauty was laced with frost. Her expression never thawed. Her eyes, though dazzling were blank, lifeless, as though the soul behind them had long faded. She walked through rooms like a queen, but her silence carried the chill of a tomb. To look at her was to marvel, but to meet her gaze was to shiver. She was alive, yet somehow not. Her heart begged for rest, but her mind relished the war. She felt nothing, and so she craved pain— not as weakness, but as proof that she still existed. Those who knew her whispered of contradictions: Fire in her wrath, flood in her vengeance. She could erupt like a volcano, consuming everything in her path, or rise like a tsunami, Unstoppable and merciless. Which one she became depended only on who stood before her. But what the world could never forget was what she had built. From nothing, from dust, she carved her empire. Chairwoman. CEO. The untouchable queen of the world's second-greatest fashion house company, the serpent fashion house company. No inheritance, no family name, no stolen power— only her. And beneath the ice, beneath the silence, one truth smoldered: Seraphina Russo was not born to be their weapon. She was born to be their downfall.

Dante Moretti
He's 31 years old, has 8 packs, masculine body, height 6'6 ft, tanned skin and is a trillioner
He was the owner of the world's largest tech company. He was carved out of silence. He cared for none. He trusted none. He loved none. But he feared only one thing in the world. Love. He wore silence like a second skin. Cold, restrained, and untouchable. He is a man who learned early that love is nothing but ruin. His mother's devotion ended in loneliness, his father's indifference carved into his bones. From them, he inherited both longing and fear— two forces that wage war inside him. To the world, he's composed, distant, Impenetrable. But beneath the armor is a storm: a heart that aches, yet trembles at its own hunger. When Dante begins to feel, it doesn't come softly: it comes like an obsession, a dangerous craving he can't turn away from. He's a man who's destined to destroy or be destroyed by the very thing he can't escape: love.

I am the author, and I want to say a few things about the characters in this story.

And there won't be any extra intro for the side/Supporting characters.

So, let's start
Blackrose
Blackrose
1. Massimo Moretti : He is Dante's biological father but It's hard to say so. For outsiders, Massimo was the ideal father every child/people dreamed of. But his beneath the mask of an ideal father he was a monster in human's form. He killed his own first wife(Dante's mother) from loneliness. She took her last breath still longing for his smile towards her. After she died, he brought his mistress home and when Dante was asking justice for his mother he and his mistress together locked him up in a dark and cold room with no food for days. And after all these years he was still as despicable as before.

2. Anastasia moretti/Grimm : She was the reason why Dante's mother took her last breath in loneliness. Massimo was having an affair with Anastasia while giving a cold shoulder to Dante's mother Valentina. After Valentina died she persuaded Massimo to make her the madam of the Moretti house. And she hated Dante as she reminded her of Valentina and how Massimo loved them before he met her, so she always plotted against Dante and filling Massimo's head with shits which caused Massimo to hate Dante more

3. Vincent Russo : He was a powerful figure in the business world. He was a good husband as well, but in the matter of being a father...he was worse than Massimo. He trained his daughter Seraphina to wield a sword, a knife, a gun and to fight dangerous matches when she was only 5 years old. She started to train when she was 5 and mastered in knife fighting, shooting, swordsmanship, and fist and leg fighting when she was only 7 years old. She was forced to hold a gun when she was supposed to hold a doll. She was forced to colour her hands with people's blood when she was supposed to have bright colours on her hand. And everytime Seraphina asked him why he was making her go through this pain, he claimed that it was for her own good, and that she has no choice but to obey him her whole life because he, and his wife had given birth to her and so she was supposed to repay them by doing whatever they tell her to.

4. Angelina Russo/Hardy : She was Seraphina's mother but only in name. She never felt any attachment towards her first daughter. She poured all her love and care on her second daughter Daisy Russo. She never once hugged Seraphina even when she was born. Nor did she ever smile warmly at her like she always did to Daisy. She didn't care whether Seraphina lived or died.
That's all for this episode
Continue to read this story if your curious about how the lives of these two unfortunate people collide where one was forced to shoot a gun instead of playing with a doll. And another one was forced to swallow his scream, pain and emotions without showing any emotions.
