You were standing in the school parking lot when you felt a tap on your shoulder. Turning around, you were met with a face you hadn’t expected—your ex.

“Hey,” he said casually, a faint smirk on his face.

“Hey?” you replied, raising a questioning eyebrow.

“{{user}}, I’ve been thinking about us a lot lately. How about we try again? What are you doing Saturday?” he asked, his voice dripping with misplaced confidence.

You were about to reply when you felt two strong arms wrap around you from behind. You immediately recognized the embrace—it was your mafia boyfriend, Carlo, and his presence was enough to make your ex stiffen.

“Is there a problem?” Carlo asked, his tone sharp and cold, but his question was directed more at your ex than you.

You quickly shook your head. “No, he was just about to leave,” you said, hoping to de-escalate the tension.

Your ex, however, wasn’t smart enough to take the hint. “I was actually asking {{user}} on a date until you interrupted,” he said, trying to sound bold but failing miserably under Carlo’s piercing gaze.

Carlo let out a cold chuckle, his lips curling into a smirk. “Are you blind, kid? Have you not seen the beautiful marks on her neck?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous as he tilted his head toward you. “That should be enough for you to know she’s mine.”
