It puzzled me why he'd consider marrying me, given our complicated backgrounds. As the daughter of rival mobsters, I was often seen as a pawn or someone unwanted. My value seemed negligible, but in Marek Baranov's eyes, I sensed a genuine concern that I had never experienced before. This unexpected affection made me want to support him, even if it meant using myself for his gain. He offered me protection, but I surprisingly asked for retribution. As for her accepting me, I struggled to comprehend it too. I yearned to shield her from the pain caused by her family, to mend what they had shattered. Unbeknownst to me, my encounter with Rosaria Bernardi would unleash a tempest. Her piercing gaze delved into my very essence, transforming me from just a soldier into something more. In return, I vowed to grant her the ultimate victory – making her father bow down to her.
