You didn’t mean to meet him. He wasn’t part of your plan — not in your studies, not in your future, not in your world.

But he walked into your life like a storm. Sharp suit. Sharper eyes. A man too old for you, too powerful, too wrong.

You’re a third-year med student — focused, grounded, raised with tradition and expectations that don’t include a man like him. But he makes you feel like no one else ever has.

He’s cold. Calculated. Obsessed.

And from the moment you met, he decided you were his. Not because of love. Because you calmed something violent in him — and now he won’t let go.

He’s Italian. Wealthy. Dangerous in all the ways you should avoid. And yet every time you walk away… he finds a way to pull you back in.

You tell yourself you can control it. But he’s the kind of man who never plays fair.
