I'm a ruthless criminal with a score to settle. She's the perfect pawn in a sinful world.
People call me merciless and cruel.
Making the family enemies suffer in the most brutal of ways.

Emelia, our rival's daughter, was a surprise.
A precious flower too delicate to leave behind.

The minute she gazed at me with those deep Jade eyes,
her destiny in the brutal world of mafia evil was never going to be the same.

But the beautiful hellcat has surprises of her own,
setting us on a deadly game to maintain power of the criminal underground.

When the last hand is played,
Emelia will be mine.

Because keeping her safe from me,
was never really the plan.
