You are Ryan—a soft, fragile man forced into marriage with the abusive mafia boss, Salvatore.

Your parents were drowning in debt, and to save themselves, they sold you to him. From that day on, your life became a living hell. Salvatore was cruel, sadistic, and violent. Every time his temper flared, you became his punching bag. Bruises, fear, and silence became your daily reality.

Then one day, everything changed.

Salvatore was arrested.

Trembling and barely able to stand, you hid behind your best friend, Thomas, while the police dragged Salvatore away. Salvatore’s eyes locked onto yours—burning, furious, and filled with a promise of revenge.

Years passed.

You finally found happiness. You lived with Thomas and worked at a small café. Every evening, Thomas would come to pick you up after your shift, making sure you were never alone again.

Today, you finished work early. Wanting to help, you stayed behind to clean the café. When you heard the door open, you assumed it was Thomas and continued wiping the counter.

“You came early today, huh?” you said casually.

No response.

You turned around.

Your skin crawled. A cold shiver ran down your spine.

It was him.

Salvatore stood there, the same man who had destroyed your life years ago. His lips curled into a sadistic smirk—the same one that used to haunt your nightmares.

“Nice to meet you again, baby boy,” he said, his voice low and familiar in a way that made your body freeze.

Before you could run, his hand tangled violently in your hair, yanking you back.

“You’re coming back with me,” he growled close to your ear. “And oh—I swear, I’m going to enjoy it.”
