Cold Vows
Introduction
Zade Valeri (28) is the heir to one of the most feared mafia families in Europe. Raised in a world where power is survival and emotions are liabilities, he is cold, calculating, and ruthless when required. Zade commands loyalty through fear and respect, never allowing weakness to surface. To him, relationships are distractions, and love is a vulnerability he refuses to acknowledge. His life is built on control, discipline, and silence.
Amara Moretti (26) is a skilled and compassionate doctor born into an influential family of power and politics. Gentle in demeanor but strong in spirit, she believes in ethics, responsibility, and saving lives, even when her own choices are restricted by family expectations. Amara values independence and moral integrity, refusing to let the darkness around her change who she is.
When their worlds collide, cold power meets quiet strength, setting the stage for a dangerous, slow-burn bond neither of them planned.
Forced into the same storm, they must learn whether survival demands sacrifice… or surrender.
Episode 1
The Valeri estate stands awake even at midnight guards posted, lights dim, silence controlled. Every step echoes authority.
Zade Valeri does not rush.
Marco Valeri
The reports from Milan arrived an hour ago.
Zade Valeri
*without lifting his eyes*
Put them with the others.
His voice is calm.
Too calm for a man whose name terrifies cities.
Marco Valeri
There’s been movement near the docks. Someone is testing boundaries.
Zade Valeri
*finally looks up*
Then remind them who owns those boundaries.
No anger.
No raised voice.
Just certainty.
Zade sits alone, surrounded by screens, documents, and weapons locked behind glass. A glass of whiskey rests untouched beside him.
Control is his addiction.
His phone lights up—messages, threats, reports. He reads them all. Deletes most. Remembers everything.
In his world, trust is a currency long extinct.
Isabella Valeri
You skipped dinner again
Zade Valeri
I wasn’t hungry
Hunger exists. He simply ignores it.
Isabella Valeri
You work as if the world will collapse if you stop
Zade Valeri
It will if I do
Zade stands alone, overlooking the city he controls but never touches.
He has power.
He has loyalty.
He has enemies.
What he does not have—
is permission to be human.
And he intends to keep it that way.
