Produktbeschreibung

The Venetian night shimmered like a spilled bottle of champagne, a million glittering facets reflecting on the churning black expanse of the Grand Canal. A symphony of laughter and clinking glasses spilled from the Palazzo Russo, a gilded leviathan overlooking the water. Yet, amidst the revelry, a solitary figure stood brooding on the secluded balcony, a dark silhouette against the moonlit sky.

Dante Russo, CEO of the Russo Corporation and heir to a billion-dollar empire, was a man sculpted from granite and ambition. His onyx eyes, usually sharp as a predator's, held a flicker of unwelcome heat tonight. The fault, he knew, lay in the ornately embossed envelope clutched in his hand, the gold lettering bearing a name that had become synonymous with betrayal: Lau.

The Lau family. His father's sworn enemies, their opulent rise a constant thorn in the side of the Russo legacy. The very idea of an alliance with them was anathema. Yet, the ruthless game of power demanded a sacrifice. Blackmail, his lawyer had revealed, a carefully constructed web of deceit threatening to topple his meticulously built empire. The solution? Marriage. An arranged union with the Lau family's prized possession - their exquisite daughter, Vivian.

A sardonic curl touched Dante's lips. A gilded cage, more likely. A pawn sacrificed for the sake of his kingdom. He envisioned her porcelain skin, cool indifference in her eyes. A perfect trophy wife, devoid of warmth or fire. But something, a strange premonition, sent a shiver down his spine.

Tonight, the game changed. Tonight, he would meet the woman destined to be his prisoner. Tonight, the gilded cage would slam shut, and Dante Russo, for the first time, felt a flicker of unease an unsettling premonition that this exquisitely orchestrated play might just have an unpredictable ending.
