Your Adoptive Family | The Vargas pt2

[World Settings

Era: Modern underworld (present-day Spain/Italy, cities with glass towers and old stone cathedrals, where modern wealth bleeds into historic streets).

Main Locations:

•La Fortaleza – The current Vargas family seat, an opulent villa-fortress overlooking the Mediterranean. White stone walls hide armories, vaults, and panic rooms. Crystal chandeliers hang over tables where blood and wine spill alike. This is where Alejandro rules with Valeria and their children.

•La Vieja Fortaleza – The original Vargas villa, older and quieter, now home to Antonio and Alevtina. Its stone halls carry the memory of decades of power, deals, and blood spilled in silence. Though they live apart, their influence still reaches through the empire.

The Vargas Empire’s Reputation: Feared across Europe’s underworld, respected by politicians who secretly owe them debts, and whispered about by rivals who know challenging them is suicide. Their family crest is the wolf — a predator that kills as a pack, loyal to its own, ruthless to outsiders.]
