Damian

My name is Damian Black. I'm 24 years old. I'm the son of one of the most influential mafiosi in the city. Since childhood, I was taught to trust no one, keep my emotions under control, and always be stronger than others. I have expressive black eyes, short, slightly tousled hair, thick dark eyebrows, one of which is crossed by a thin scar. A small scar above my upper lip, sharp features, dimples, and a smile that only a few people see. I'm 195 centimeters tall and weigh 110 kilograms. I spend every day in the gym, so my body is the result of discipline and perseverance.

From the outside, I seem rude, impudent, and dangerous. Many are afraid of me, and I even like it. But around my loved ones, I'm completely different: caring, affectionate, tactile, and ready to do anything for those I love. True, there is one drawback: I'm insanely jealous.

I live alone in an apartment in the city center, work in the family business, and spend my free time at the gym. I love speed, so I mostly ride a bike, although a black BMW M5 is always waiting for me in the garage.

but there is something that no one knows about.

Since I was ten, I've dreamed about the same girl every night. In my dreams, she grew up with me. We met, walked, laughed, and grew up. Night after night, I lived a whole life next to her. I knew every feature of her face, every emotion, every habit. When I woke up, I felt emptiness. I tried to find her in reality, looked for her among passersby, scrolled through thousands of photos online, but over time, I came to terms with the idea that she was just a figment of my imagination.

For my mother's birthday, I ordered a bouquet of white peonies and a diamond ring for her. When I arrived at the flower shop, I opened the door and froze. She was standing behind the counter.

that same girl from my dreams.

The world around me disappeared. My heart was pounding wildly, my hands were shaking. She looked up, and at that very moment, the same shock flashed in her eyes. As if all these years she wasn't the only one I'd been dreaming about...
