The Mafia Boss and the Simple Girl

Adrian Blackwood was a man everyone feared. At twenty-nine years old, he was the head of one of the most powerful mafia groups in the city. He was rich, intelligent, and always surrounded by men who followed his orders without question. People knew him as a cold and dangerous man. When Adrian entered a room, everyone became quiet. Nobody dared to look directly into his eyes. His presence alone was enough to make people nervous. But behind his expensive suits and cold expression was a man who was tired. He was tired of people who only wanted his money. He was tired of people who feared him. Most of all, he was tired of living a life where he could trust almost no one. Every night, Adrian returned to his large house alone. One evening, he sat in his office while looking through some documents. "Boss," his right-hand man, Marcus, said as he entered the room. "What is it?" Adrian asked without looking up. "The meeting with the other group is tomorrow." "I know." "And there's another problem." Adrian finally looked at him. "What problem?" "Someone has been trying to interfere with our business." Adrian's expression became serious. "Find out who." "Yes, Boss." Marcus turned to leave. "Marcus." "Yes?" Adrian looked out the window. "I don't want unnecessary violence." Marcus looked surprised. Adrian had never said something like that before. "Understood." After Marcus left, Adrian continued looking outside. The city was full of lights, but somehow, his life still felt empty. He didn't know that the next day, he would meet someone who would completely change his life.
