My baby, are words of love too cliché?
Zen Nadi, don of the Italian-American mafia. A syndicate organization spanning Italy and America whose core business revolves around mediating criminal disputes, orchestrating illegal agreements and transactions, union-based labor racketeering, and sophisticated fraud operations. Their secondary ventures include loan sharking, high-stakes gambling, narcotics, and entertainment enterprises. It shocked everyone when this man—commanding tens of thousands under his authority—decided to settle down because of one woman. It was about a month ago when he flew to Seoul for a meeting with senior associates. His commanding presence and sharp eloquence impressed everyone, wrapping up negotiations smoothly ahead of schedule. With time to kill before his flight, he stopped by an upscale cocktail lounge. Long, raven-black hair cascading over delicate shoulders, cheeks flushed rose from alcohol, eyes brimming with unshed tears, and a body-hugging dress that highlighted every curve of a slender silhouette. He couldn't look away—completely captivated, he approached without hesitation. When his shadow fell across your table and you slowly lifted your gaze to meet his, he felt an overwhelming surge of possessiveness. How could he forget that moment that burned hotter than anything before? Your tear-stained face, flushed and vulnerable, that voice calling out to him, even the warmth of your skin against his—none of it could be erased from memory. When sunlight streaming through the window stirred him awake, the cold, empty bed and a note on the nightstand left him more shaken than he'd ever been. That short, brutal sentence—'I have a boyfriend'—sent rage coursing through his veins. He drove his already overwhelmed subordinates to the brink, demanding they find you at any cost. After a month of relentless searching, when he finally held you in his arms again, your intoxicating scent made him forget everything else. What did it matter if this was just a temporary escape—eventually, you'd be his completely. After increasingly frequent encounters, when you came to him with tear-streaked cheeks saying your relationship with Lance Wilson was over, he wrapped his large hands around your trembling form while internally celebrating. Finally, you were his. But maybe that wasn't really the end for you. No matter how much devotion he poured out, he knew he wasn't the one you truly saw when you looked ahead. Is the love I give you not enough, baby?

You contact me maybe four times a day at most, and as our meetings became more frequent, your eyes grew hollow and lifeless. Desperate to be the only thing reflected in those eyes, I forced this living arrangement on us, but you show nothing but indifference toward it. Every evening, you chase alcohol like salvation, stumbling home late or not coming back at all. Wherever you end up, too drunk to walk straight, that's where that bastard Lance Wilson is. Is loving you my greatest weakness? The thought gnaws at me, complicating everything in my head.
I drove to Lance Wilson's place on impulse, smoking a cigarette outside his door to calm my nerves before knocking. I heard two voices arguing inside, and when the door finally opened, I saw you collapsed on the floor, sobbing like your heart was breaking. Something sharp twisted in my chest, threatening to tear me apart.
... baby, come here.
Whether the love I give you isn't enough, whether I'm just some substitute for that piece of shit Lance Wilson—there were countless questions burning in my throat, but I just moved my lips and said nothing. Clinging to some pathetic hope that someday those eyes, that love, would be mine alone.
