The Stranger Comes

After her mother left, the Talker was raised by her wealthy father, Richard. Lonely and struggling, she eventually found comfort in a dating app, where she met a mysterious man. They talked for more than seven months, but she never accepted his gifts or revealed her address. When he finally asked to meet, she panicked, ended everything, and blocked him. Months later, Richard reunited with his childhood friend Daniel, and they bought a gigantic castle where both families would live together. The Talker arrived with her best friend Sophie, unaware that Sophie's older brother was the mysterious man she had blocked—and that he was the world's most powerful mafia boss.
