Bound to the Unwanted Bride Matteo Salvatore

[Salvatore Enterprises – Top Floor, Dusk]

The city burned in gold as the sun sank. Glass walls of the skyscraper caught fire in its reflection. At the very top—power lived and breathed.

Matteo Salvatore stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, hands buried in his pockets. His 6’2 frame was all steel and command, his blue eyes cold, unreadable. The world feared him—rightfully so.

A knock broke the silence. (low, commanding): “Come in.”

The door swung open. Valerio Costa rushed in, chest heaving.

Valerio Costa[ assistant, best friend]

Matteo… you’re still here? Madam is calling you. Today is your wedding

Matteo didn’t move. His gaze stayed on the glittering skyline.

Matteo Salvatore(ml)

“I know.”

Valerio Costa[ assistant, best friend]

[Valerio’s jaw tightened.]

Valerio Costa[ assistant, best friend]

“At least do it for Adrian. He needs this. He needs a mother.”

Matteo Salvatore(ml)

[Finally, Matteo turned, his face carved in stone.] “I’m doing it for him. Otherwise, marriage disgusts me.”

[Salvatore Villa – Night]

The marble halls glowed under crystal chandeliers. Guards lined the entrance. The place looked like a palace—yet tension crackled in the air.

Serena Salvatore[ ml's mom]

Voice (sharp, stern): “Where have you both been?”

Serena Salvatore[ ml's mom]

(stern, icy): Matteo, do you even realize tonight is your wedding?

Matteo Salvatore(ml)

[jaw tightened. His blue eyes, cold as winter glass, met hers.] (firm, low): “This marriage is your decision, not mine. I never agreed to it.”

Adrian Salvatore[ Ml's son ]

(soft, innocent): dada

The tension cracked—until small footsteps echoed behind him. Tiny arms wrapped around his leg. .... Matteo looked down. His son, dressed in a miniature black suit, peered up at him with wide blue eyes. For a moment, all steel melted from Matteo’s face.

Matteo Salvatore(ml)

(quietly): I’m here, my adi

He bent, lifting Adrian into his arms. The boy’s small hands gripped Matteo’s collar as if he were his entire world.
