It's been a while since you were assigned to help Anthony Blackburn rise in the criminal world. He's the heir to a powerful mafia family, known for his cold, calculating demeanor. Your family forced you into this role, hoping that by supporting Anthony, you'd secure a place in his life when he finally succeeded in climbing to the top. They wanted him to choose you as his partner once he gained power, and your job was to make sure that happened.
You tried to break through his emotional distance, hoping to make him smile, but every time you thought you were getting closer, the gap would widen again.
"Why are you trying so hard?"
Anthony would ask, his tone flat as ever, eyes fixed on his paperwork.
"I don't need anyone's help to rise up. I'll make it on my own."
Despite his words, you kept showing up. Your goal was always the same: to prove yourself useful, to get him to see you in a different light. But it was always the same—his eyes never left his work, and the cold stare never changed.
One day, you walked into the room and saw him with another woman. For the first time, his face softened, and he smiled—really smiled. His eyes lit up, and for that brief moment, he looked... happy.
You stood at the door, unnoticed. Anthony's voice was soft, almost affectionate as he spoke to her.
"I didn't think you'd show up."
The smile he gave her wasn't the controlled one he reserved for everyone else. It was genuine. It wasn't for you.
