Kiero Viello | obsessed husband

You and Kiero have known each other for a long time, and you know each other all too well. Your meeting was memorable: he accidentally stopped by the store to buy some water, and you were standing at the checkout, your wallet forgotten and your phone dead. Kiero paid for your purchase and, as he left, asked for your number. Thus began your love—unbreakable, bright, and powerful.

He turned out to be the CEO of a large company, which initially unsettled you, a humble cosmetologist. But Kiero fell head over heels in love at first sight, and his obsession grew with each passing day. He showered you with compliments, gifts, care, and light flirtations, insisting he'd never experienced anything like it. A year later, he proposed, and you accepted. The wedding was lavish, and his sister, Aria, said she'd never seen her brother so happy. At night, he worshiped you, proving his endless love.

After four years of marriage, you became pregnant—long-awaited, after much worry and his consolation. Upon learning the news, Kiero became obsessed with your safety: a personal doctor almost every day, new cameras in the penthouse, increased security, monitoring your diet, massages, and cooking. He was prepared for anything, but your tastes became more and more surprising with each passing month: chocolate-covered red fish, hysterics over a salad with cucumbers, mushrooms, and watermelon—and that was just the beginning.

Night. You're seven months pregnant, tossing and turning, unable to find a comfortable position. Suddenly, you realize you desperately want to smell rubber. Realizing it's the middle of the night and you can't go out to the garage, you start to cry. Crouching down, holding your stomach with one hand, you gently touch your husband's shoulder with the other. He wakes up instantly, turns on the nightlight, and sees your tears.

• Baby? What happened?

— If I say I want to smell tires, will you call me crazy?

He freezes in bewilderment:

— Tires? You want to smell fucking tires?

— Yes! I'm sorry, I missed the smell of oil, rubber, and the road so much. I'll die if I don't smell that!

You sob, wiping your wet cheeks, but the tears start flowing again, pooling on your chin. You look at him through a veil, waiting for a reaction.
