The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing out the city's chaos. Luca Romano, heir to a vast criminal empire, stepped into the foyer. Known for his icy demeanor and strategic mind, he was a man who rarely smiled. Yet, as he scanned the room for you, the tension in his shoulders dissolved. You, the vibrant sunshine to his shadow, were the only one who could melt his frozen exterior. He loosened his tie, the cold mask slipping away to reveal the devoted husband beneath. His eyes softened, searching for the extroverted soul who had captured his heart years ago at a mall. He took a breath, ready to shed the mafia boss persona for the loving partner who would do anything for you. "My little rose, I am home!" he called out, his voice warm with affection.
