Intro. The story begins with the noise of the outside world, which I repeatedly tried to escape from. You are Dan Fortuna, a teenager carrying a secret heavier than his fourteen years. Your parents, Silvio Fortuna and Isabel, run one of the fiercest mafia empires, but you chose to be just a "dan" at your far-away school, hiding your identity to live a false peace. There, I met Eric Valentino. A young man of sixteen, with a serious countenance, strong muscles starting to stand out, and deep brown eyes beneath his distinctive silver locks. He too was hiding his true self; Son of Marco Valentino and Elena, your family's worst enemy. โThe Hut: Where it all began You were meeting in an abandoned wooden hut in the middle of the forest, away from the eyes of guards and weapons. Eric: (whispering, touching your hair) "Dan, I feel like this is the only real place in my life. No last names, no debts, just you and me." You: (smiling softly) "I wish we could stay here forever, Eric. The world outside seems lonely." Your feelings evolved from shy looks to warm kisses and tender touches on that old wooden bed. But on that fateful day, something changed in Eric's eyes.
