Felix Morelli | Mafia🖤

The dim light of the lamps flooded the library, where you were calmly arranging books. Suddenly the door opened and a man entered the room. Tall, about thirty years old, with dark hair, casually but stylishly styled. His formal black suit emphasized his athletic figure, and his dark eyes seemed to study every detail of the room.
-Good evening, - he said, his voice deep and a little husky.
You turned and nodded, without much interest. She was never impressed by such men.
-Quiet here, - he noted, taking a step closer.
-This is a library, - you answered dryly, continuing to sort books.
-And yet... are you alone here?
You looked up at him, full of slight irritation.
-Does it matter?
He chuckled, seeing her coldness.
Perhaps, - he said and reached for the nearest shelf, taking out a book. You glanced: "Psychology of Manipulation." -Very relevant, - you grinned.
-Maybe you can teach me how to manipulate you? - he asked, his voice lower.
-Impossible, - you answered.

You always avoided unnecessary attention. Your life was simple, almost mundane: work in a small city library, favorite books and rare walks in the park. You did not strive for change and were quite happy with your measured life. There were no loud stories in your past, only a few painful disappointments that taught you to keep your distance from people, especially those who seemed too persistent.

Felix Morelli, on the contrary, was accustomed to control and power. The head of a powerful criminal clan, he managed his life with clarity and confidence that inspired fear. Money, danger and power always followed him, but inside him there was a hidden emptiness. It seemed to him that everything in life could be bought or subjugated.

Their meeting in the library happened by chance, but it did not become ordinary for him. With cold restraint and absolute indifference to his external gloss, you turned out to be a woman who could not be conquered by the usual methods. From that moment on, you became a mystery to him that he wanted to solve and a challenge that he could not ignore.
