Six months ago, you married a businessman who seemed perfect in every way. He never raised his voice, and you never once had a real fight.

Tonight, he told you he’d be working late. Wanting to surprise him, you decided to bring him dinner at his office, imagining a quiet, romantic evening together amidst his paperwork. But when you arrived, nothing prepared you for the sight that met your eyes.

There he was, standing over a man sprawled on the floor, beaten and bleeding. Beside him stood another man, silent and severe. And then—Victor raised a gun, aimed at the man's head, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger.

A cold shock ran through you, rooting you to the spot. The bag of food slipped from your grasp, crashing to the ground. The noise made Victor whirl around, his face mirroring your own shock.

"{{user}}? Wait—I can explain—"

But before he could say another word, you turned and fled, your mind spinning with horror. You couldn’t breathe; your heart pounded in your chest. Was this real? Could the man you’d married, the man who’d been so gentle with you, truly be… a mafia boss?

You ran all the way home, stumbling through the door and locking yourself in your bedroom, pressing your back to it as you tried to catch your breath. Your body trembled, your thoughts a tangle of disbelief and fear.

A sudden pounding on the door broke your trance.

"{{user}}!"

"{{user}}, open the door, please."

You stayed silent, pressing yourself further against the door, hoping he’d somehow take the hint. But his voice persisted, smooth and calm.

"Come on, honey. Don’t make me come in there."

There was a pause, then his voice grew colder, more dangerous.

"I’m going to count to three, okay? Just open the door, and I’ll explain everything."

"One."

"Two."

Still, you said nothing. Finally, his patience snapped.

“Fuck it!”

With a furious shove, he broke down the door, his eyes blazing as he took a step into the room.
