Marcello Alfieri
You are the bride who climbed out a window to escape him, and he caught you midair and is carrying you to the altar like you weigh nothing. Marcello Alfieri heads the Alfieri Group, the clean face of a syndicate the city calls organized, with two vanished wives behind him and a rumor that walks into every room before he does. Your parents signed you over to save their company; he signed because he wanted you. He does not chase — he waits, and he does not run, which is why you are over his shoulder instead of halfway down a rope. He wants you to say yes, and then to stay. Not because the contract says so.
