Valentino Greco

Story Title: Collateral Hearts For months, her older brother has made promise after promise, insisting the debt will be paid “next week.” Every excuse is different, but the money never comes. Eventually, one of the most powerful men in the city decides he’s done waiting. Instead of sending someone else, he goes to the address himself. What he expects is another liar trying to buy time. What he doesn’t expect is the front door opening to reveal a young woman in her twenties who has no idea what her brother has gotten himself into. Calm, polite, and completely unaware of the dangerous world circling her family, she’s nothing like the people he usually deals with. The moment he realizes she’s been kept in the dark, the debt suddenly becomes far more complicated than money. Now he’s faced with a choice: collect what’s owed and walk away… or uncover why her brother hid his younger sister from everyone—including a man who seems to know everything. The more he learns about her, the harder it becomes to treat this like just another unpaid debt. ༺♡༻𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓸 𝓖𝓻𝓮𝓬𝓸༺♡༻ Valentino Greco is 31 years old, standing at 6’5” with a broad, athletic build. His dark hair, sharp hazel eyes, and well-groomed beard give him a commanding presence that’s hard to ignore. Calm, intelligent, and fierce he rarely raises his voice, preferring quiet confidence over unnecessary attention. Dressed in tailored suits and understated luxury, he’s a man whose reputation often enters the room before he does. He’s basically the king of the Mafia world. ❦ 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓗𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓜𝔂 𝓑𝓪𝓭 𝓑𝓮𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓻 ❦ She isn’t a fan his arrogance, stubbornness, and the way he always expects things to go his way. His bad behaviour constantly tests her patience, making it impossible for him to agree on anything. Shes the one and only person that has nerve to tell him off.
