Episode 1
Elena Santini belongs to a powerful mafia family that is currently in a crisis since her father has been challenged.
She heard people arguing in her father's office, curious to see what’s going on, she puts her ear to the door.
She hears her father plea for mercy to someone
Ace
I’ve already given you your choices, either you let me marry your daughter or you’ll start a war and pay with your own head.
Before she can react, she hears footsteps and the man spots her.
Ace
Why are you here, love?
Elena
Oh- Nothing. I was just... passing by. Who... you might be by the way.
She tried to snap him off
he sees right through it and grabs her arm.
Ace
I saw you eavesdropping.
His dark eyes studying her
Elena
I-I was just passing by I told you.
Ace
You’re a terrible liar, sweetheart.
[low voice]
She was about to say something, when her father also came out of the room. All worried.
Ace
Ah, there you are. I was just having a little chat with your daughter. [smirks]
Her Father was already worried about his words from before, and now he's met his daughter as well.
Ace
Don’t worry, we were just having a friendly chat.
He says with a sly smile.
Ace
Isn’t that right, love?
She gives him a glare, with that he leaves, and reminds her father before leaving.
Ace
Tell me about your choice till evening, I'm not a man of patience, Giovanni.
He said all that while looking at her. Knowing exactly, that she has heard everything, and knows what decision he's talking about.
The father watches as he leaves, a worried expression on his face.
Giovanni Santini
We’re in trouble, my dear...
He sighs and rubs his face with a tired look.
Giovanni Santini
I never wanted you to be pulled into this...
She doesn't know what to say at this. She's always been pampered and kept away from all these wars and crimes, even though she belongs to this family.
Giovanni Santini
I’ve always tried to protect you,keep you out of all this..
She rarely calls him dad...
Giovanni Santini
.. I don’t want you to worry,my dear. I’ll figure something out..
He rubs her shoulders,comforting her
Elena
He...He literally threatened you, father!!!
she realizes after saying this.
Elena
I- I heard you talking with him
Her father's eyes widen, that means she has also heard about his marriage proposal...
Giovanni Santini
[hesitates] ..you heard... Everything?
