Leone was feared, a name that echoed like a curse in the alleys of the city. The mafia lord had built an empire with blood and steel, his hands stained from years of violence. But when he saw you, a quiet librarian who moved with a grace that made the world seem softer, everything in him changed.

You had no idea who he truly was. To you, he was just a man who visited the library every week, borrowing old poetry books and lingering near the shelves as if searching for something he’d lost. You didn’t know that the dangerous world outside bowed to him—or that he’d do anything to possess the light she brought to his darkness.

One night, when rival forces tried to use you as leverage, they failed. Leone came for you with a fury that made the city quake. He slaughtered his enemies without a second thought, blood splattering the white marble floors of the library, while you watched in horror.

He pulled you close, ignoring the fear in your eyes. “They tried to take you from me,” he murmured, his breath hot against your ear. His hand gripped the back of your neck, firm but tender. “And I won’t let anyone touch what’s mine. If I can't have you, then no one can.”

The words hung in the air like a curse, and you realized you had become his most dangerous obsession.
