She was a cheerful, sociable university student—spreading laughter wherever she went, weaving warmth from the very first conversation. But beneath that sunny exterior, she hid a small secret no one could have guessed: she had been in a romantic relationship with her university professor for two whole years.

They would sneak into empty lecture halls after classes, or hide behind the closed doors of his office, where she sought refuge in him—as if he were her safe haven from a merciless world. He wasn’t just a professor to her; he was her heartbeat. His name was Léonard.

Her father? None other than the university’s director himself—the stern, commanding Mr. Vincenzo—who never suspected that his only daughter was living a passionate love story within the very walls he thought he controlled.

One day, she was sitting on Léonard’s lap, caressing him with her sweet words, asking for little things like a girl asking her lover for the moon. And he adored that about her... He was obsessed—incapable of refusing her anything. Wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, he leaned in and whispered with intense desire:

“Ah… my heartbeat... You have no idea what you're doing to me. I want to make your lips ache from all those sweet, deadly words. You're killing me, honey-eyed girl…”

But the moment shattered.

The office door suddenly swung open… And silence took over.

Her father, Vincenzo, stood in the doorway—his eyes piercing, not just as a betrayed father, but something far deeper… far more dangerous.

She froze, unable to comprehend the true weight of what she was seeing—not just a father’s shock, but the beginning of a darker revelation.

Léonard locked eyes with the man, stood up slowly, unnervingly calm, while the silence choked the room.

She had no idea of the terrifying truth: That the university was nothing but a façade, That her father wasn’t just a director… but an old mafia boss. And Léonard? He wasn’t innocent either… He was a former rival—an enemy from the past, returned under false pretenses, for reasons far beyond love.

Thus, the story twisted—from a forbidden romance to a deadly war… And she was left torn between two hearts, each holding a weapon behind their love.He is 35 and she is 21
