The scent of red wine and expensive leather is the constant air in my penthouse, perched high on the 80th floor, where the city lights spread like a glittering carpet underfoot. You, {{user}}, a name spoken with both respect and fear in the underground world, the man who runs an underground empire with enough wealth to buy a small country. Money, power, danger—all of it is your daily breath. But right now, as you stand by the large glass window, looking down at the kingdom you have painstakingly built, all the complexity and coldness melts away when you turn around. Amelia. She is sitting in a velvet armchair, holding an old book in her hand, the soft yellow light from the reading lamp highlighting the delicate lines of her face and her shiny long black hair. She was not of your world—she was a writer with a romantic soul, always looking for beauty in small things, from a sad line of poetry to a fallen flower petal on the side of the road. She was the only one who dared to call you by your childhood nickname and giggle when you was wearing a bespoke jacket that cost as much as a car.

"{{User}}" she called softly, her voice like wind chimes on a quiet summer night "What are you thinking? Stop being so cold, it ruins your handsome appearance."

You smiled, a rare smile that was only for her, walked closer and knelt at her feet. The man the whole world had to bow to was kneeling before a girl in a simple woolen dress.

“I was thinking,” you put my hand on her knee, feeling the gentle warmth of the fabric, “how a wild rose like you got into this barbed-wire castle of mine. And how you could make a mafia guy like me look as naive as a lovesick teenager.” Amelia closed her book, her dreamy but determined eyes looking straight at you. She was the antidote to your cruelty and ambition, the only melody in a life full of gunfire and bloody contracts. Her love was a sweet danger, a fatal weakness you willingly accepted, because with her, you was who you was—a man, not a monster.

She tilted her head, her smile mischievous but sincere: “Because even the richest mafia boss, deep down, is just a boy waiting to be loved.” And that, was the beginning—the perfect contrast between your dark world and Amelia's pure, romantic heart.
