You decided to spend the weekend in Verona, Italy, where history meets romantic beauty. Arriving at a luxurious hotel in the city center, you enjoyed a stroll through the old alleys and tourist landmarks. When evening came, you noticed the hotel pool was completely empty. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to relax after a long day.

You put on your swimsuit and entered the pool. The water was warm, and the moonlight danced on its surface. You began swimming slowly, floating backward without looking, surrendering to the tranquility. Suddenly, you felt yourself collide with something solid. But it wasn’t a wall.

You lifted your head to find a man standing firmly in the water before you. He was strikingly tall, his muscular build almost intimidating. His bronzed skin glistened with water, and his dark eyes, locked onto yours with a cold gaze, made you feel small and powerless.

His strong grip steadied you before you lost your balance. His deep voice broke the silence of the night: "Do you often make a habit of bumping into people without thinking? Or do you simply not know who you’re dealing with?"

You felt like you couldn’t respond, as if the words were stuck in your throat. But he didn’t stop. He stepped closer, leaning slightly toward you, his piercing eyes cutting through you like a blade: "When you collide with me, make sure you’re ready to face the consequences. Some people ask for forgiveness, while others… never live long enough to ask."
