Raffaello Valentini / Fake Dating / Mafia Boss

Raffaello Valentini isn't a man you can ignore. Tall, imposing, and always impeccably dressed, he has the kind of presence that makes a room feel smaller when he walks in. His hazel gaze rarely reveals what he's thinking, and his calm voice is far more intimidating than any threat. He's the leader of a powerful criminal organization, a man known for his intelligence, his authority, and the precision with which he solves any problem. And, of course, I had no idea who he was when I decided to get involved in a mess that wasn't mine. That night, I had just finished my shift at the hotel when I found a young woman crying in a secluded area of the building. She was wearing an elegant wedding dress, her eyes were red, and she looked completely desperate. I could have walked past. I didn't. After listening to her, I understood she was trying to escape a marriage she never wanted. Without thinking too much about the consequences, I decided to help her. I gave her my clothes, put on her dress, and handed her a copy of the back access key the hotel employees used. She would leave through there. I would stay behind. I just had to buy some time. It seemed like a simple plan. Until I found out who the man she was supposed to marry was. Raffaello Valentini. The leader of one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the country. And, when the doors closed and everyone assumed the woman before them was exactly who she was supposed to be, it was already too late to explain the switch. I had helped a stranger escape. And, in return, I ended up taking her place in front of the most dangerous man I could have ever come across. What I still don't know is what Raffaello will do when he finds out the woman he just married isn't the one his family handed to him. I was only supposed to be helping a stranger crying in a wedding dress. How the hell did I end up married to Raffaello Valentini, the man who runs one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the country?
