Hey Astral Souls

This my new story hope you all like this
The Argento study is a world of its own—ornate, ancient, untouchable. The scent of aged whiskey lingers in the air, mixing with the heavy musk of power. A fire crackles in the grand fireplace, casting shadows over the walls lined with towering bookshelves and portraits of past Argento rulers—men who built their legacy in blood and ambition.
Two families sit across from each other. Two empires. Two histories tangled in war, betrayal, and now—an unbreakable alliance. Tonight is not about love. It is about survival.
Nyxian Alvarez sits in his leather chair, his fingers absently tapping against a glass of whiskey. His dark gaze, sharp and unreadable, rests on the man across from him—Ezekiel Argento, head of the Argento family, just as ruthless, just as powerful. Their wives sit beside them, poised, silent, but their presence is anything but passive. Because this? This is a battlefield, disguised as a wedding arrangement.
Nyxian Alvarez/FL Dad
(Sipping his whiskey, voice low and deliberate)
It’s time, Ezekiel. We both knew this day would come. The alliance was decided years ago.
Ezekiel Argento/ML Dad
(Nods, his tone unyielding)
Lazarus and Drusilla. Together, they’ll be untouchable.
Elinor Argento/ML Mom
(A gentle smile, but her eyes are sharp, calculating)
It’s a perfect match. Power meets power. Strength meets strength.
Nyssa Alvarez/FL Mom
(Her gaze sharp as it settles on her daughter, voice cold yet firm)
Drusilla, you understand the importance of this marriage. This isn’t just about you. It’s about both families. The legacy.
Silence. A long pause. And then—Drusilla speaks. Her back is straight, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable. But the fire in her eyes? That betrays her.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(Leaning back, voice razor-sharp)
And if I say no?
The room stills. The tension thickens, crackling in the air like a storm ready to break. Then—a deep chuckle. Low. Dark. Laced with amusement and something far more dangerous.
Lazarus Argento dressed in black, his presence alone is enough to command attention. He has been silent until now, watching, waiting. And now? Now he speaks.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Low, teasing)You won’t.
Drusilla’s gaze snaps to him, fire meeting ice. Their eyes lock, a silent battle waging between them.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(Coldly)You think you can own me, Argento?
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Leaning closer, voice dark and smooth)I don’t think, cara mia… I know.
A challenge. A threat. A promise. He watches her, waiting for the fight, waiting for her to push back. And she wants to—God, she wants to. But she knows better. Knows what this means. Knows that this decision was made for her long before she ever had a choice.
The room watches, the air thick with something unspoken. A history she doesn’t remember, but he does. A connection she refuses to acknowledge, but he won’t let her forget.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(After a long pause, voice cutting)
Fine. Let’s get this over with.
A flicker of something in Lazarus’s gaze. Satisfaction? Amusement? Or something deeper—something darker.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Softly, murmuring, for her ears alone)We’re only just beginning, Cara Mia.
And just like that—their fates are sealed. Their future written in blood. And there is no turning back.
The study empties, the echoes of the meeting still lingering in the walls, in the flickering candlelight, in the weight of history pressing down on them.
Drusilla stands by the fireplace, fingers clenched into fists at her sides, staring at the flames. She hears him before he speaks—Lazarus. He moves like a shadow, controlled, deliberate. She doesn’t turn, but she feels him step behind her.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Quietly, voice unreadable)You hate this.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(Sharp, bitter)Do I have a choice?
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Smirking slightly, stepping beside her)No.
She exhales sharply, finally turning to him. Their eyes meet again, but this time, there is no audience. No fathers making deals. No mothers ensuring loyalty. Just them. The inevitable. The unavoidable. The collision of two forces that were never meant to be tamed.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(Low, dangerous)I will never be yours.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Murmuring(, tracing a finger along the rim of his whiskey glass)I don’t need you to be mine, cara mia.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(His gaze lifts, sharp and consuming)I just need you to stand beside me.
A beat of silence. A moment where the world shifts, where the lines blur. Because this isn’t love. This isn’t devotion. This is power. A game of control neither of them are willing to lose.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(Smirking, stepping closer, voice like silk)Careful, Argento. You might just regret this.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(Chuckling, dark and low, his gaze never wavering)Never.
And with that, she turns, walking away without another word. He watches her go, a slow, knowing smile curling at the edges of his lips.
The war has begun. And neither of them are walking away unscathed.

Sorry for late update let’s get started
The Wedding Day – A Vow of Chains
Wedding Ceremony of Lazarus Argento and Drusilla Alvarez
The ceremony takes place at an extravagant private estate, a gothic-style cathedral standing tall beneath the evening sky. Shadows stretch across the marble floors, flickering candlelight illuminating the faces of the most powerful people in the city. Tonight, two families merge—not just in marriage, but in power, in legacy, in an empire that will be built from their union.
Drusilla stands at the entrance, draped in an intricate gown of deep ivory and silver. It isn’t soft. It isn’t delicate. It is armor. A symbol of the strength she refuses to surrender. And at the altar? Lazarus waits. Dark. Dangerous. Unshaken. He watches her like she is already his—because in his mind, she is.
Drusilla and Lazarus stand before the priest, the weight of their families' expectations pressing down on them. The guests watch, waiting. This is not a wedding—it is a transaction, a war in silk and vows.
Priest
(solemnly, raising his hands) Marriage is the binding of two souls, two families, two legacies. A sacred promise, honored for eternity.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(voice smooth as silk, but cold) Sacred? There’s nothing sacred about this.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(pauses, her gaze flickering to Lazarus before she tilts her chin up in defiance) “This isn’t love. This is survival.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(low, dark amusement in his voice, leaning in slightly)And yet, here we are. Standing at the altar, saying words neither of us believe.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
(smirking, but there’s fire in her eyes) Words don’t bind me, Argento.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(gripping her wrist gently but firmly, his voice dropping to a murmur only she can hear) No, but blood does. These are bloodstained vows, Drusilla. And once you say them, there’s no turning back.
A silence. A dare. A challenge. The weight of what’s coming settling into her bones. She exhales slowly, then lifts her gaze, unreadable.
Drusilla Alvarez/FL
( finally, voice like steel) Then let’s get it over with.
Lazarus Argento/ML
(smirking, victorious—because she might fight him, but she won’t run) That’s my girl.
A priest, with a stern but calm demeanor, steps forward. His voice carries authority, resonating with the weight of tradition and the solemnity of the moment.
Priest
Welcome, honored guests, to this sacred ceremony where we unite not just two individuals, but two of the most powerful families in our world.
Priest
This union is more than a marriage—it is a promise to uphold the legacy of both families, to protect each other, and to build an empire together.
Priest
Lazarus Argento, Drusilla Alvarez, you stand on the edge of a new chapter. May your bond strengthen both your love and your legacy.
Guests murmur, the tension palpable as their eyes flick between Lazarus and Drusilla, who stand before the priest. Their expressions are unreadable, yet their presence commands the room.
