Luca was the perfect boyfriend. He was kind, attentive, and always had a smile that could light up any room. He worked as a graphic designer in a small studio, spending his days creating art and his evenings with the woman he loved-Sophia. Sophia was everything he could ever dream of: beautiful, confident, strong, and mysterious. She had a commanding presence that made people tremble in her presence, and Luca admired her deeply.
What he didn't know, or rather, what he refused to admit to himself, was that Sophia wasn't just a woman of power and beauty-she was the feared queen of the most ruthless mafia organization in the city. The "Crimson Rose" was a name whispered in fear, its reach stretching across the entire criminal underworld. Sophia was the head of it all, pulling strings and controlling everything from the shadows.
Luca, with his innocent demeanor, was completely unaware of the dark world she lived in. To him, she was simply his beautiful girlfriend, a woman he adored. He didn't care about the dangerous whispers surrounding her. All that mattered was the way she smiled at him, the way her voice soothed him, and the way she held him when the world outside was too cruel.
But what Luca didn't know was that he wasn't the only one watching Sophia. Her enemies had begun to take notice of her personal life. They had learned about Luca-the sweet, harmless graphic designer who was too naive to understand the dangers of the world he was in.
One evening, Sophia was late meeting him at their usual spot, a small café in a quiet alley. Luca waited patiently, his hands clenched around his coffee cup. As the minutes stretched into an hour, his concern grew. He sent her a text, but it went unanswered. Something wasn't right.
Sophia had always been careful, never letting anyone get too close to her world. But for Luca, she had made an exception. She had shown him a side of herself that no one else knew. A side she would protect at all costs. But the moment she stepped into his life, she had unknowingly put him in danger.
Luca's phone buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number.
"If you care about your precious girlfriend, you'll come to the old warehouse on the outskirts of town. Bring no one. Don't tell anyone."
Panic and confusion gripped Luca's heart. His hands trembled as he read the message. What was this about? Why was Sophia in danger? His innocent nature was replaced by a strange, unrecognizable feeling. It was as if something dark, buried deep within him, had begun to stir.
He rushed to the warehouse, his mind racing. He couldn't lose her. He wouldn't let anyone take her from him. As he entered the rundown building, the smell of dust and decay filled his nostrils. It was eerily quiet, the only sound being his footsteps echoing against the concrete floor.
And then, he saw her.
Sophia stood in the center of the room, surrounded by men dressed in suits. They were holding her, their hands on her arms and shoulders, their faces cold and menacing. The moment Sophia saw Luca, her face hardened, and she gave a small, almost imperceptible shake of her head.
"Luca," she called out, her voice steady but filled with an emotion he couldn't place. "Leave now. This is dangerous. Go back to your life."
But Luca didn't listen. He couldn't. The feeling inside him was overwhelming-an uncontrollable urge to protect her, to never let her go. He stepped forward, his innocent smile masking the turmoil inside him.
"I won't leave you," Luca said, his voice surprisingly calm, almost too calm.
Sophia's eyes widened, but before she could say anything, one of the men in the room stepped forward. "Your precious queen is in danger," he sneered. "If you really love her, you'll step aside and let us finish what we started."
Luca's gaze flickered to the man, and something inside him snapped. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened.
"You don't understand," Luca said, his voice low and dangerous now. "No one touches her but me."
Without warning, Luca lunged at the men holding Sophia, his movements swift and precise. It was as if he had become someone else. His hands, usually gentle, now moved with an eerie speed, knocking out the men one by one with calculated force. His mind wasn't focused on the violence-it was focused on protecting Sophia, keeping her safe from harm.
Sophia watched, both amazed and terrified. She had never seen this side of Luca-the side that was so ruthless, so capable of violence. It wasn't the sweet, innocent man she had fallen for.
When the last of the men crumpled to the floor, Luca turned to Sophia, his breathing heavy but his expression still eerily calm. He walked over to her, his eyes never leaving hers.
"I told you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you," he whispered, his fingers gently brushing her cheek. "Not even you."
Sophia's heart raced, but her shock wasn't over. "What did you-what did you do to them?"
Luca smiled softly, though there was a darkness behind his eyes now. "I did what I had to. They were a threat to you. And I'll do anything to keep you safe, Sophia. Anything."
Sophia's breath hitched in her throat as she realized the truth. The man she thought she knew, the man she had loved, had a side to him she had never seen. The darkness that lurked inside him had been there all along, waiting. Waiting for the moment she needed him.
But now, she was terrified. She had fallen for the sweetness of Luca, but she had never expected to see the yandere beneath the surface-the obsessive, possessive lover who would go to any lengths to keep her by his side, no matter the cost.
"You..." Sophia began, her voice trembling. "You did this for me?"
Luca nodded, his smile growing wider. "I'll always protect you. No matter what it takes. You're mine, Sophia. Always."
Sophia took a step back, her pulse quickening. The reality of the situation hit her like a tidal wave. She had become entangled not just with the mafia world, but with a man whose love had turned into something far darker than she ever imagined.
"You don't have to worry about anyone else. I'll make sure of that," Luca continued, stepping closer to her, his voice soft but deadly.
The once innocent man she had known was gone, replaced by someone far more dangerous. And as she stood there, trapped between love and fear, Sophia realized that the true danger had always been Luca.
In the days that followed, Sophia tried to distance herself from him, but Luca's hold on her only tightened. He wasn't just her boyfriend-he had become the monster lurking in the shadows of her life, a monster she couldn't escape. And in the twisted, dangerous world of mafia politics, the only thing more terrifying than her enemies was Luca's undying, obsessive love.
In the end, Sophia had to make a choice: embrace the darkness of Luca's love or find a way to escape the man who had become both her savior and her captor. But no matter what, one thing was certain-Luca would never let her go.
