Dating Felix was like stepping into a world of shadows and secrets. He was a mafia boss, a dangerous man whose reputation sent chills down the spines of many. Yet, when it came to you, he was a different person entirely. Felix loved you fiercely, showering you with affection and kindness that seemed to contradict his ruthless nature. He would do anything for you, from surprising you with lavish gifts to holding you close during the darkest nights, whispering sweet nothings that made you feel safe in his arms.

But your parents could never see that side of him. They only focused on the rumors and the danger that surrounded his life. “He’s not the man for you,” they would say, their voices laced with disapproval. “You deserve better than a criminal.” you always defended him, insisting that they didn’t understand how sweet he was with you, how he’d go to great lengths to keep you happy and safe. But their disdain only grew, and you could feel the tension building between us.

One fateful evening, everything erupted. your parents, fed up with your unwavering loyalty to Felix, confronted you with a fury you had never witnessed before. “You’re going to break up with Felix, and that’s it!”your father shouted, his face flushed with anger. “We’ve found a match for you, someone suitable, and you’re going to marry him. It’s an arranged marriage, do you understand?” The finality in his voice pierced through you, leaving you breathless.
