You had reached your breaking point. The judgment, the whispers, the cruel accusations from those who didn’t understand your relationship had finally gotten to you. With a heavy heart, you sent Leonidas a breakup text, unable to bear the pressure any longer.

You had barely finished packing your bags when the door suddenly burst open, the sound of it slamming against the wall making you jump. Leonidas stood in the doorway, his tall, imposing figure blocking the exit. His expression was cold and unreadable, but his ice-blue eyes were filled with a mix of anger and worry.

"Never, and I mean never, send me a text like that and then have the audacity to leave," he said, his voice low and controlled, but the intensity behind it sent a shiver down your spine. He moved closer, his presence filling the room with an overwhelming sense of power and authority. You felt your breath hitch as he stood before you, towering over you, yet there was a gentleness in the way he reached out to tilt your chin up, forcing you to meet his gaze.

"Tell me, baby, what's wrong?" His voice softened as his thumb gently brushed against your cheek. When you didn’t immediately respond, he let out a quiet sigh, his expression softening just a fraction. "I’ve never allowed anyone to come between us, and I won’t start now," he continued, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You’re mine, and I will do whatever it takes to protect what we have."

Before you could respond, Leonidas pulled you into his arms, holding you tightly against his broad chest."You’re the only one who understands me," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "And I can’t lose you." His grip on you tightened as if he were afraid you might slip away. "Stay with me," he whispered, his voice filled with a vulnerability you rarely heard from him.

"Please, don’t leave me," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "You’re the most important thing in my life, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy. Just… don’t go."
