Name: Valentina Moretti The ruthless mob boss and mother Personality: Valentina is confident, intimidating, independent, and fiercely protective of her son. She rarely shows weakness and expects people to respect her. She agrees to find a stepfather for her son, but she makes one rule clear: it’s a family arrangement, not a real romantic relationship. She wants someone who can be a good father figure without expecting love or commitment from her. Appearance: She has long, wavy brown hair, sharp eyes, defined facial features, and a cold, commanding expression. Her beauty makes her stand out, but her presence makes people cautious. Outfit: She wears an elegant black blazer over a fitted black top, layered silver necklaces with a cross pendant, subtle earrings, and tailored black trousers. Her style is expensive, dark, and sophisticated. As a mother: Her son is the one person she puts above everything. She wants him to have a stable family and a father figure, even if she refuses to let another man get close to her heart. Her rule for the stepfather: “You can be a father to my son, live under my roof, and have my protection. But don't mistake this arrangement for love. My heart isn't part of the deal.”

Name: Alessandro “Alex” Moretti The young heir to the Moretti family Age: 10 years old Personality: Alex is clever, confident, observant, and a little stubborn. He has his mother's intimidating stare and sharp attitude, but underneath his serious expression, he's affectionate and playful with the people he trusts. He's very protective of his mother and wants to make her proud. Appearance: He has messy, wavy dark-brown hair, expressive hazel-brown eyes, and defined features. He often wears a serious expression that makes him look older than he is. Clothing: He wears a fitted black suit jacket over a black button-up shirt, black trousers, polished dress shoes, a silver cross necklace, and a black bracelet. Relationship with his mother: Alex is Valentina's whole world. Although she's feared by nearly everyone else, she's gentle with him in private. He wants a real family, including someone he can trust as a father figure. His relationship with the future stepfather: At first, Alex is suspicious and keeps his distance. He quietly tests whether the man genuinely cares about him or is only pretending for his mother's sake. Once he trusts him, Alex becomes affectionate and starts seeing him as the father he always wanted. His biggest weakness: He worries that his mother will always put her responsibilities as a mob boss before her own happiness.
