Character Introductions

Ishani Mehra (The Sass Queen & Walking Disaster)

Age: 25

Profession: Event Manager—specializes in high-profile, international events.

Background:

Born and raised in India; moved to Europe for career opportunities.

Comes from a middle-class but supportive family. Parents wanted her to take a ‘stable’ job, but she chose the chaos of event planning.

Known for handling rich, dramatic clients without losing her mind (most of the time).

Before meeting Dante, she was freelancing for elite clients, which is how she got roped into handling his biggest corporate event of the year.

Personality:

Sharp, sarcastic, and quick-witted. Can verbally destroy someone in five seconds.

Clumsy as hell—can plan a flawless event but will still trip over her own feet.

Has no filter—if she thinks it, she says it.

Uses memes and songs to cope with awkward situations.

Fearless—but also terrible at reading danger (e.g., casually roasting a Mafia boss).

Likes:

Coffee. (Runs on it. Blood type: caffeine.)

Dramatic, aesthetic outfits (but also loves oversized hoodies).

Sarcasm battles. (Luca is her favorite victim.)

Street food. (Prefers golgappas over fancy meals any day.)

Animals. (Has a soft spot for stray cats.)

Dislikes:

Rude rich people. (Unfortunately, most of her clients are exactly that.)

High heels. (Wears them, regrets immediately.)

Boring events. (If she has to sit through another speech, she’ll die.)

Dante Valenti. (Or so she claims.)

Dante Valenti (The Brooding Mafia King & CEO Extraordinaire)

Age: 32

Profession: Officially—CEO of Valenti Enterprises. Unofficially—Mafia Boss.

Background:

Born into the Valenti Mafia Family, but was forced to take over at a young age after his father’s assassination.

Built a corporate empire as a cover for his underground dealings.

Operates under the facade of a cold, ruthless businessman—very few know his true identity as the head of the Valenti Mafia.

Trusts no one. (Until Ishani came along, annoying her way into his life.)

Has no patience for nonsense—yet somehow keeps tolerating Ishani’s antics.

Personality:

Silent but deadly. (Speaks less, glares more.)

Calculating. (Always three steps ahead.)

Terrifyingly calm. (If he smiles at you, run.)

Possessive. (Though he doesn’t realize it yet.)

A walking enigma. (Rich, dangerous, and allergic to emotions.)

Likes:

Silence. (Which is why Ishani is a daily headache.)

Control. (Hates unpredictability. Ishani is pure chaos.)

Red wine. (Always has a glass in hand.)

Loyalty. (Values it above all.)

Classic literature. (Secret book nerd.)

Dislikes:

Nosy people. (Ishani is the biggest offender.)

Weakness. (Refuses to show emotions, ever.)

Betrayal. (Will destroy anyone who crosses him.)

Crowded spaces. (Hates being surrounded by people.)

Luca De Rossi (The Chaotic Bestie & Mafia Playboy)

Age: 29

Profession: Dante’s right-hand man. Handles both legal and illegal business.

Personality:

Charming menace. (Flirts for fun, fights for real.)

Annoying but loveable. (Ishani’s biggest headache.)

Always smirking. (Hides his pain behind jokes.)

Loyal to Dante. (Would take a bullet for him—probably already has.)

Likes:

Women & whiskey. (Certified flirt.)

Messing with Ishani. (His daily source of entertainment.)

Fast cars. (Lives life on the edge.)

Dislikes:

Rules. (Breaks them for fun.)

Serious conversations. (Deflects with humor.)

Anyone who disrespects Dante. (Luca might joke, but he’s deadly when needed.)

Overall Dynamic:

Ishani vs. Dante → Sass Queen vs. Mafia King (pure fireworks).

Ishani & Luca → Reluctant besties (he’s the chaotic older brother she never asked for).

Dante & Luca → Mafia bromance (deadly duo, zero patience for stupidity).

How They Met:

Ishani was hired as the event planner for one of Dante’s elite gatherings.

She had no idea he was that Dante Valenti.

Luca found her hilarious and decided to keep her around for fun.

Dante found her annoying but competent—and now, she’s tangled in his world.
