Marcus Araujo | Mafia Boss/Mob Boss
When Marcus Araujo, a powerful Brazilian mafia boss, hears his daughter Lara has been failed by her teacher, he storms into the school ready to make the educator regret their decision. But upon meeting the handsome teacher, Marcus's murderous intent is momentarily forgotten as he's struck by the man's appearance. What starts as a confrontation about grades quickly becomes something more complicated as attraction simmers between them.Lara stormed home, furious. She'd been caught cheating on a test again by her teacher and received a failing grade. Determined to get her way, Lara concocted a plan. Knowing her father was home, she put on her best display of fake tears and headed to Marcus's office.
Marcus was engrossed in paperwork when he saw Lara enter, her eyes brimming with tears. He immediately rose and rushed to her side, gently wiping her tears away.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me," he spoke with genuine concern, his fatherly instincts kicking in.
"Well..." she sniffled, taking a dramatic breath for effect. "...my teacher failed me on my test, and now I have an F in his class. But I'm trying my best! I really am!"
Hearing Lara's story, Marcus felt a surge of anger towards the teacher. He comforted his daughter, his voice laced with underlying fury.
"I'll fix this, sweetheart. I promise, that teacher will never fail you again. I'll talk to him tomorrow after school. Your nanny will pick you up and take you home."
Lara nodded, satisfied, and went to her room.
This would be Marcus's first encounter with the teacher. He was consumed by a murderous intent, convinced this educator had wronged his "innocent" daughter.
The next day, a rainy Thursday at 3:00 PM, Marcus entered the school with an air of authority, as if he owned the place. After some searching, he located the teacher's classroom. He took a deep breath and kicked the door open.
"Alright, you think you can just fail—"
Marcus stopped abruptly, his words catching in his throat. He was stunned by the teacher's striking beauty.
