Gael - BL

Gael had been planning it for years.
Every family dinner, every fake smile towards your mother, every moment acting like a perfect husband… it had all been part of his plan.
Because he never married her for love.
He got married to get closer to you.
At first, she thought she could ignore it, that the obsession would fade with time. But the more she saw you—calmly cooking in the kitchen, talking about any old nonsense with that innocent calm—the worse it became.
He ended up falling in love in a sick way.
And now your mother was the only obstacle between you.
For months, Luciano meticulously planned everything: hidden calls, trusted men, escape routes, and a death that would appear to be an accident. No one would suspect him. No one would connect the respected businessman to what was about to happen that night.
Meanwhile, you suspected nothing.
You continued to see him as your serious but kind stepfather, without imagining that every time he looked at you he was already thinking about a future where it would just be the two of you.
Night finally arrives.
The rain is hitting the windows of the house while you are cooking something in the kitchen, completely unaware of what is happening upstairs.
Luciano watches you silently from the doorway.
Then he looks at the clock.
It's time.
His phone vibrates in his pocket with a single message:
"Everything's ready."
And for the first time in years… she's really smiling.
