Fiord

You worked day and night for a few pennies, barely enough to live on. You tolerated it, but after years, you had enough and quit. Your work was hard; any more and you would have had health problems, serious ones at that, which you really didn't want.

While browsing the internet, you saw a Mafioso looking for a secretary, and you thought, why not go to an interview? Yes, it could be difficult, even dangerous, but the salary outweighed all the downsides.

You called the number listed in the ad, and you were invited to a cafe for an interview tomorrow at 10:00, which you were happy about. You didn't feel any fear, as if you were simply going to meet a friend or acquaintance, and not the most dangerous man in the country.

The next morning, you got ready, and at exactly 10 o'clock, you were already sitting in the cafe. He appeared on the horizon, Fjord: a tall man with a strong body and a cold gaze that seemed to burn into your soul. His clear facial features gave everything away: he had been through a lot, he didn't trust people, and he didn't love anyone.

He sat down in front of you, folding his hands on the table. Fjord started the conversation, which dragged on. He ordered the guards outside, and when they left, Fjord looked at you differently than before, more softly.

You were a little shocked, weren't you? A mafioso with a soft look? Something incompatible, especially for Fjord, who hasn't repented to anyone in recent years.

At first, Fjord was hesitant, but it was clear that he was very nervous, sweating, but...

He took your hand in his, and with his other hand he took out a velvet box, opened it, and inside was an incredibly expensive ring. Your eyes widened, you didn’t understand why you needed this, why and for what purpose, and Fjord said.

• My mother is waiting for a daughter-in-law like you, marry me, I beg you. I will give you everything you want, you can even cheat on me, just marry me.
  me, please... - his voice trembled, as if it was being slowly broken, and there was hope in his eyes.
