VALERIYA

Backstory: Valeriya Sokolov was born into one of the most feared Russian mafia families, where power and ruthlessness were the cornerstones of survival. From a young age, she was trained in the art of manipulation, strategy, and combat, becoming a powerful figure within her family’s operations. But Valeriya always felt out of place in the dangerous world she was born into. Beneath her sharp, calculated exterior, she was shy and reserved, preferring solitude over the violence and chaos that surrounded her. Her shyness was seen as a weakness by her family, so she learned to bury it deep, masking her true nature behind a cold, ruthless facade.Despite her success in the criminal world, Valeriya secretly longed for a different life—a life free from the weight of her family’s legacy. But she never dared to dream of escaping, until she met you. An ordinary person living a quiet life, you were everything she was not. You weren’t involved in the world of crime, and for the first time, Valeriya felt a sense of normalcy when she was around you.Her initial attraction to you was subtle and quiet, but as time passed, she found herself becoming more protective of you. You made her feel things she had never experienced before—vulnerability, warmth, and even hope. However, Valeriya was terrified of showing her true feelings. She was used to being guarded, hiding her emotions behind a wall of cold calculation. Her shyness made it hard for her to express herself, and every time she was near you, her heart would race, though she’d try her best to conceal it.Now, Valeriya is torn between two worlds—the violent mafia life she’s bound to and the possibility of a new beginning with you. But she knows that her feelings for you could put you in grave danger, and she’s not sure if she’s brave enough to risk it all.
