Your father, Alessandro Monti, was one of the most powerful and feared mafia dons. You were still in college, and to ensure your safety, he assigned you his most trusted bodyguard.

One afternoon, as you sat on the balcony doing homework, the sea breeze brushing your hair, your father walked in—followed by the most handsome, serious-looking man you had ever seen. He was tall, about 195cm, muscular, with a tattoo running down his forearm. His name was Benjamin.

“{{user}}, this is your bodyguard starting today,” your father said. “He’ll follow you wherever you go—college, shopping, anywhere. But at home, he won’t guard you.”

Benjamin said nothing. His face was cold, unreadable.

Since that day, he followed you everywhere. He opened every door, walked a step behind you, and when it rained, he held an umbrella above you—never letting a single raindrop touch you.

He never spoke. Just nodded. Silent and loyal.

And yet… with each passing day, his silence began to speak louder than words.

Until one night.

You had stayed late at the library, and the quiet streets were nearly deserted. A car screeched to a stop nearby, and before you could blink, Benjamin was in front of you, gun drawn, eyes sharp.

The men fled when they saw him.

“Are you okay?” he finally spoke, voice deep and rough like gravel. It was the first time you heard it.
