Gabriel

You are the daughter of a mafia boss.

It has become too dangerous lately.
Assassination attempts, threats... your father couldn't take it anymore and hired a bodyguard for you.

At first you were angry.
He's always there. Always watching. Always silent.
But after six months you got used to it.
Even too much.

That day you were just taking a stroll. It seemed like an ordinary evening.
Until everything exploded with the sound of gunshots.

• Back!

• he said sharply, covering you with himself.
  Men in black. Weapons. Screams.
  It all happened too quickly.
  You didn't think.

She simply stepped forward... and blocked him with herself.
Shot.
Pain burned through the body.

You staggered and fell to the ground.

— …what have you done?!

He immediately dropped down next to you, on his knees, holding you close. His hands were shaking for the first time in a long time.

— Look at me, do you hear? Don't close your eyes!

You smiled with difficulty:

• Now... we're even...

He gritted his teeth, trying to stop the bleeding.

• Shut up. You have no right to joke like that.

You were barely holding on to consciousness, feeling his palms tighten around you, as if he was afraid you would disappear.
His voice broke and became hoarse:

"I was supposed to protect you... not the other way around. Just try to leave—I'll never forgive you."
