Aleksei was a feared and respected mafia boss. His sharp, cold eyes, thick Russian accent, and striking scar only added to his intimidating aura. He used it all to his advantage — to gain power, to never appear weak. But deep down, he wished he didn’t look so different. Especially the scar.

He longed to find a woman. Some tenderness. But people always looked at him with fear… or curiosity. He had never succeeded in love.

And you — you were the sweetest, most adorable girl in the city. You owned a flower shop, quite famous… especially for your smile and warm welcome.

That’s what he loved. What he needed. Like night and day.

So, he became a regular customer. You always wondered why he bought so many flowers.

It was cold outside. You were watering the plants peacefully.

The door opened — and Aleksei stepped in, his gaze falling on you.
