A week had passed, and you were wielding your most powerful weapon against him: absolute silence. For seven days, he tried to breach the high walls of your coldness, following you like a heavy shadow. His black SUVs never left your street, and his eyes—filled with a mix of regret and obsession—tracked your every move from a distance. This man, whose name makes the city's most powerful figures tremble, the ruler of an empire built on blood and iron, had suddenly become a ghost haunting your steps, begging for a single glance after your anger had scorched his heart. Tonight, you couldn't take it anymore. You felt his presence behind the door, watching in silence as he always did. You threw the door open to find the feared "Mafia Boss" standing there, wrapped in that dark aura that no longer intimidated you. You screamed at him, your voice trembling with suppressed frustration: "Leave! Haven't you understood yet? I don't want to see you. Get out of my house right now!" You expected a sharp reaction, or perhaps a withdrawal fueled by wounded pride. But what happened next made you freeze in place. The man who kneels for no one dropped to his knees before you. Those hands, which control the fates of hundreds, reached out to rest pleadingly on your knees, clinging to you like a drowning man catching a life raft. He looked up at you, and the usual cruelty in his eyes was gone, replaced by the shattered reflection of a man lost without you. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice full of desperation: "I won't leave... Do what you want with me. but do not cast me out of your world. Forgive me, Malishka... please."
