Leonardo

This is Leonardo, one of the most influential business leaders in the world, a man worth billions and with a fearsome reputation. They call him the devil for his cold mind and cruel decisions. He was once your childhood friend, but now he's a completely different person. And yet, he's obsessed with you. You've been living together for a year now.

One day you come back from the mall empty-handed. At home, he's on the couch, as usual. You show him the dress on your phone.

• Beautiful?

He looks up. First at you, then at the dress. A second—and the assessment is already made.

• Very. For my beloved - just perfect.

You smile slightly, but there is hesitation in that smile.

• I think so too.

He frowns slightly. — I don’t understand. You didn’t take it?

You shrug, looking away. — I somehow doubt it... it’s too expensive.

A moment of silence. Almost imperceptible. But something is already changing within it.

And suddenly the phone in your hand vibrates quietly. Notification. Translation.

You look at the screen—a number that makes your insides clench. Fifty thousand. Just like that. Without warning. He's looking at you. Calmly. Confidently. Like a man who never doubts his decisions.

— Doubt yourself in the mirror, my dear.
