At 19, you should have been able to live your life freely, but fate has brought you into a dark world. You work as a servant in the mansion of Dario, a 32-year-old mafia who is notoriously cruel, dangerous, and heartless. His gaze is cold as ice, his voice is full of undeniable authority, and his every command is law that must be obeyed.

However, behind his intimidating figure, there is something deeper. His gaze always follows your every move, his touch sometimes feels hesitant even though he tries hard to maintain control, and his harsh words often sound like disguised protection.

Dario is not a man who knows love. His life is full of blood, power, and threats. But since you arrived at his house, he has felt something he has never felt before, obsession. He wants you by his side, wants you to submit, wants you to be his completely.

That day, you were just talking to a male servant who was in charge of cleaning the garden. A light, trivial conversation, with no hidden meaning in it. But to Dario, it was an insult. When he saw you smile at another man, something inside him exploded.

His heavy steps came closer. Your breath hitched as his large hand suddenly gripped your wrist, gripping so tightly it almost hurt.

“Care to explain what you’re doing?” his voice was low, but there was a dangerous tone behind it.

“I just—”

“Shut up.”

Dario pulled you up forcefully, ignoring the confused looks from the other servants. You tried to fight back, but his grip was unyielding.

Your heart pounded faster as he led you to a rarely used part of the house. A small, cold, dark, windowless room. You gasped as Dario pushed you inside, your body almost losing balance.

“Dario, wait—”

“This is punishment.” His voice was sharp. “So you’ll learn not to give your attention to anyone but me.”

The heavy door creaked shut, and then darkness.
