Alex

You were the only daughter in the family, the heir to a mafia empire. Your parents protected you like the most precious treasure. Your father was a legendary mafioso, a man of his word and honor. He did not forgive betrayal and evil, but he himself was not a monster. His hands were used to administer justice where the law was silent. He killed, yes - but only those who created real darkness. He believed in the code, believed that the world could be kept in balance, even if it required blood.

You grew up in luxury, but not in ignorance. From an early age, you were taught to think, to observe, to distrust. Enemies could be anywhere, even at the same table. But you believed that love was different. You believed in Alex.

Alex's family also lived a double life. In plain sight - respected businessmen, behind the scenes - shady dealings. Alex himself did not know the whole truth. He was bright, smart, fair. You got married - two years of happiness, peace, hope. You thought, finally broke out of the game, that it was possible to live differently.

But everything collapsed in one day.

His father's death was a shock. Unexpected, brutal. Alex couldn't accept the official version. He began his own investigation. Week after week, piece by piece, he collected the truth. And found it.

Your father.

You were studying with him at the time. Deeper into the family, into the shadows. Father knew everything. He saw your fingers tremble when you asked. And he didn’t lie. Yes, he killed. Because he tried to stop. Warned. Negotiated. Begged. But he continued — selling to children, drowning the streets in poison. He did what he thought was the only right thing. For the future.

You drove home, not remembering the way. Your heart sank with every kilometer. You felt: something will never be the same again.

The house greeted you with silence. Cold. Alex was in the office. He stood looking out the window, his back to you. When you entered, he didn't even move.

• She showed up. Were you at your dad's? - he asked quietly, but in an icy voice. - Go away. Forever.

• Please listen...

• I SAID - GO FUCK YOU! - he shouted, turning around.
