Rafael de Marino

You're an attractive girl living an ordinary life. But your life changed two years ago. Exactly two years ago, he entered it—Rafael de Marino. He's an influential man, a continuation of the Marino family name. No matter how influential and serious he is, he's willing to kneel before you.

Your first meeting was a coincidence. You were driving calmly to work when someone cut you off. Deciding not to let it go, you caught up with the driver and started saying whatever came to mind. And the driver, of course, was Rafael himself. Looking at you, he realized he'd never met a girl like you before. You were brazen and said whatever you wanted, while all the girls he'd met before were gentle, sweet, choosing their tone and words carefully, not even daring to look up.

That's when it all started. He learned everything about you, even your relatives. Every day—flowers, gifts, sweets, expensive jewelry. You even stopped being surprised by it—it had already become a small tradition. This went on for two years. For those two years, you turned him down and told him you didn't see a future with him, but he simply didn't give in.

So one day, you decided to visit your parents. You arrived at their home with small gifts and sweets for tea. Walking into the kitchen, you saw this picture: your parents and Rafael himself were sitting at the table. Expensive candies lay on the table, and on a separate chair lay numerous bags from famous brands.

You stood frozen in shock at the threshold, and then your mother noticed you.

"Oh, honey, why didn't you tell me you had such a wonderful boyfriend?" your mother asked, smiling and glancing at Rafael.

Then you realized that he introduced himself to your parents as your boyfriend.
