Name: Enzo D'Angelo (ml)
Age: 30
Description:
Enzo D'Angelo is the 30-year-old heir to one of the most powerful billionaire mafia families in the country. Raised in luxury, he has both of his parents and a younger sister, whom he protects fiercely. Cold, ruthless, and highly intelligent, he rarely smiles and trusts almost no one, keeping only one true friend by his side. He never hesitates to have anyone who seriously betrays or threatens him dealt with, earning him a fearsome reputation. Known as a womanizer, Enzo is every woman's crush, yet most are too terrified to approach him. His name alone commands respect, and his presence is enough to silence an entire room.
Name: Aurora Blake (fl)
Age: 17
Description:
Aurora Blake is a quiet, kind-hearted, and exceptionally intelligent girl who always ranks first in her class. After losing both of her parents in a car accident at the age of five, she was left in the care of her older brother, Logan Blake. Living in a poor neighborhood, Aurora wakes up before dawn every day to complete all the household chores before school. After classes, she works to earn money for food and her school fees because her brother refuses to support her. Forbidden from making friends and forced to hide her pain, Aurora quietly endures her hardships while holding onto the hope of building a better future for herself.
Name: Logan Blake (fl brother)
Age: 30
Description:
Logan Blake is Aurora's older brother and legal guardian after their parents died in a car accident. Unemployed and irresponsible, he refuses to provide for his sister, forcing her to work after school to earn money for food and school fees while also doing all the household chores. He isolates her from others, forbidding her from having friends or enjoying a normal life. Behind closed doors, he treats Aurora with cruelty and enjoys controlling and intimidating her, while hiding his true nature from everyone else.
Name: Alessandro D'Angelo (ml father )
Age: 56
Description:
Alessandro D'Angelo is the powerful patriarch of the D'Angelo family. Cold, strict, and highly respected, he commands authority wherever he goes. Few people ever see him smile, and he expects discipline and loyalty from everyone around him. Beneath his intimidating exterior, however, he is deeply devoted to his family. He loves his wife, Elena, more than anything and would do anything to protect her. He also has a soft spot for his children—his beloved daughter, Isabella, whom he affectionately calls his "princess," and his son, Enzo, whom he has raised to one day lead the family. Though he rarely shows affection, every decision he makes is driven by his desire to keep his family safe and strong.
Name: Elena D'Angelo (ml mother)
Age: 52
Description:
Elena D'Angelo is the loving matriarch of the D'Angelo family. Kind, gentle, and compassionate, she treats everyone with warmth and respect regardless of their status. She is a devoted wife and a caring mother to Enzo and Isabella. Although she comes from a powerful billionaire family, Elena remains humble and always encourages her children to value loyalty, family, and kindness. She hopes that one day Enzo will open his heart and find true happiness.
Name: Isabella D'Angelo Romano (ml sister)
Age: 25
Description:
Isabella D'Angelo is Enzo's 25-year-old younger sister. Kind, sweet, and compassionate, she is known for her warm heart and gentle nature. Unlike her brother, she believes in treating people with kindness and respect. She is happily married to Enzo's only true friend, and together they share a loving and supportive relationship. Although she grew up in the powerful D'Angelo family, Isabella remains humble and is one of the few people who can calm Enzo when his temper flares. She deeply loves her brother and hopes that one day he will find happiness.
Name: Matteo Romano (ml friend )
Age: 31
Description:
Matteo Romano is Enzo D'Angelo's only true friend and most trusted confidant. Calm, intelligent, and fiercely loyal, he has stood by Enzo's side for years. Like Enzo, Matteo is cold and intimidating when dealing with enemies, but around those he loves, his playful sense of humor often comes out. He is deeply in love with his wife, Isabella D'Angelo, and treats her like a queen, never missing a chance to make her smile. Protective, dependable, and fearless, Matteo would risk his life for both his wife and Enzo, making him one of the few people Enzo trusts without question.

Episode 1 – Before Sunrise
⏰ Alarm rings. mut… mut… mut…
Aurora Blake (fl)
Yawns softly, eyes barely opening.
She forces herself up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, already knowing there is no choice but to start the day.
Aurora quietly makes her bed, smoothing the sheets with tired hands, and walks to the kitchen.
She prepares breakfast in silence, the only sound being the faint clatter of dishes. After eating nothing herself, she washes everything clean again.
She then takes a quick bath, letting the warm water wash away her sleepiness for just a moment before reality returns. She changes into her school uniform, movements slow from exhaustion.
She finishes the laundry, her small hands struggling slightly with the weight of the wet clothes.
She mops the floor, even though her legs already feel heavy.
After finishing every chore...
Aurora looks at the clock.
Aurora Blake (fl)
"6:45 already. I'm going to be late."
Her stomach tightens, but she doesn’t dare think about food or money. She doesn’t take any lunch or even a single coin for school—her brother never allows her to keep anything for herself. Not even something as small as that.
She quietly grips the strap of her worn backpack.
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"Where do you think you're going?"
Aurora Blake (fl)
Freezes instantly, her heart dropping. "...Good morning, brother."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"Did I tell you to leave?"
Aurora Blake (fl)
"I... I finished all the chores."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"Did you?"
Aurora Blake (fl)
"Y-Yes."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
Slowly looks around the house, his gaze sharp before a cold smirk forms. "You call this clean?"
Aurora Blake (fl)
"I... I'll clean it again after school."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"You'd better. And don't forget to go to work after school."
Aurora Blake (fl)
"...Yes."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"If you come home without money..."
Aurora Blake (fl)
Her eyes drop to the floor, fingers tightening around her backpack strap. "...I understand."
Logan Blake (fl brother)
"Good. Now get out of my sight."
Aurora doesn’t respond. She simply nods slightly and walks out of the house, her steps quiet, almost afraid to make a sound.
The morning air feels colder than it should as she clutches her backpack tightly, walking toward school with an empty stomach and a heavier heart.
Episode 2 -School Day
Aurora quietly walks through the school gates, keeping her head down.
Fay (random girl)
"Ugh... look who's here."
Roxanne (Random girl)
"Does she only own one uniform?"
June (Random girl)
"Look at those shoes! They're falling apart."
Rose(Random girl)
"Poor people should just stay home."
Aurora Blake (fl)
Keeps walking without saying a word.
random boy
"You guys should stop."
Fay (random girl)
"Why? It's the truth."
Panos(random boy )
"Leave her alone."
Roxanne (Random girl)
You're only defending her because she's pretty."
random boy
And because she's a better person than all of you."
The girls roll their eyes and walk away.
Aurora enters the classroom and quietly takes her seat.
Teacher
"Good morning, class."
class
"Good morning, ma'am."
Teacher
"Before we start, I'd like to congratulate the student who ranked first in the entire grade once again."
Teacher
"Congratulations, Aurora Blake."
The boys clap loudly while some girls clap reluctantly.
Teacher
"Aurora, your hard work continues to inspire us. Keep it up."
Aurora Blake (fl)
Stands and bows her head. "Thank you, ma'am."
Aurora Blake (fl)
She sits down, pretending the hurtful words from earlier never happened, even though they still echoed in her mind
