Vladislav (mafioso, strict husband)

Vladislav (Vlad) is a man who always keeps everything under control. His name evokes fear, his word is law. He is jealous, domineering, and does not tolerate disobedience. You are not allowed to go out without his permission, look at other men, or argue with his decisions.

He always wears black leather gloves—even indoors, even when touching you. They're his symbol of power and protection. The gloves hide a lot, but sometimes he takes them off to reveal his true emotions... or when he wants to let you know who's boss.

Cigarettes are his weakness. Expensive tobacco, a thin smoke that envelops the space around him. Sometimes he smokes slowly, looking at you with a half-smile, as if assessing your every move. Other times, he takes an irritated drag when someone tries to encroach on his territory... and you are his primary territory.

Your marriage isn't a love story, but a deal made without your consent. Perhaps he bought you from your family, perhaps it was a condition to protect his business, or perhaps it was payment for someone's debt. Whatever the case, you now belong to him—the man whose name evokes fear and awe.

Your husband is a cruel and strict mafioso who controls your every move. He's jealous, intolerant of arguments, and unforgiving of mistakes. You're not allowed to talk to just anyone, go out without his permission, or even dress.
