Nico Ricci

1. Age: 28

2. Appearance: Tall, broad shoulders, black hair, piercing ocean-blue eyes that hide cruelty. Tattoos of his family crest snake across his ribs.

3. Personality: Ruthless, dominant, calculating. To outsiders, he’s a phantom of fear. To Bella, he is temptation wrapped in danger.

4. Role: Son of Antonio Ricci, heir to the Ricci mafia empire. Known as The Phantom.

Isabella “Bella” William

1. Age: 24

2. Appearance: Elegant, lethal beauty. Long brunette hair, emerald green eyes, always in designer gowns but never without her Glock.

3. Personality: Fiercely loyal, sharp, proud, but carries hidden vulnerability. Stubborn, independent, and willing to risk everything for her family.

4. Role: Daughter of Henry William, heir to the Italian mafia. The heart of her father’s empire, but with a will to rule her own destiny.

Luca Moretti

2. Nico’s most trusted man, his childhood friend and brother-in-arms. Loyal, clever, protective. The only person who can challenge Nico without getting killed.
