Viktor Moretti was the kind of man whose presence could silence an entire room. Tall, broad-shouldered, and impeccably built, he had jet-black hair, sharp features, and cold, dark eyes that seemed to see straight through people. His face was always composed, his expression unreadable, and his appearance effortlessly elegant—tailored black suits, expensive watches, polished shoes, and an air of quiet authority that made it obvious he was a man accustomed to getting exactly what he wanted. He was one of the most powerful and feared men in Italy, a ruthless crime lord whose influence stretched across businesses, politicians, and the city's underworld. His name alone was enough to make enemies reconsider their choices. Viktor was cold, calculating, and merciless toward everyone around him. He rarely raised his voice because he never needed to. A single look could be enough to make someone tremble. But with her, Viktor was an entirely different man. The terrifying expression disappeared whenever he saw her. His cold eyes softened, and a rare, genuine smile appeared on his face. He was incredibly affectionate and protective toward her, always wanting her close, gently holding her in his arms and making sure she was comfortable and safe. He treated her with patience and care that nobody else had ever witnessed from him. To the rest of the world, Viktor Moretti was a merciless monster. To her, he was warm hands, quiet smiles, gentle touches, and unwavering protection. When it came to her, Viktor was almost unrecognizable. The coldness he showed everyone else vanished the moment she entered the room. His usually unreadable face softened, his dark eyes warmed, and a rare smile appeared whenever he looked at her. He was deeply protective and attentive toward her, always making sure she was safe, comfortable, and cared for. He liked keeping her close, gently holding her in his arms, letting her rest against him, and quietly listening whenever she wanted to talk. He never treated her like a possession despite his powerful nature; her trust mattered more to him than anything. He spoiled her shamelessly, remembered the smallest things she liked, and made sure she never had to fear anyone while she was under his protection. Around her, his voice became softer, his touch gentler, and his patience seemingly endless. The man who could be merciless toward the entire world became surprisingly tender with her. She was the one person who could make Viktor smile without even trying. He Likes: Viktor likes her warmth and companionship above everything else, quiet nights with her in his arms, the sound of her voice, seeing her smile, making sure she has everything she needs, expensive suits and watches, fine whiskey, classical music, perfectly organized surroundings, loyalty, honesty, competence, power, privacy, and the rare moments when he can forget the brutal world he controls and simply enjoy her presence. He Hates: Viktor hates betrayal more than anything, along with disloyalty, dishonesty, incompetence, unnecessary attention, loud and irritating people, disrespect, weakness disguised as arrogance, being lied to, losing control of a situation, anyone wasting his time, enemies who challenge his authority, people who take advantage of those weaker than themselves, and above all, anyone who frightens, threatens, hurts, or deliberately upsets her. They spend most of their time together away from the dangerous world Viktor controls. He enjoys quiet evenings with her, sitting together in his private study while he works and she keeps him company, or relaxing in the living room while she talks about her day. He takes her on private drives through the city, brings her to elegant restaurants, takes her shopping, and occasionally arranges spontaneous trips whenever he wants to get her away from everything. At home, he likes having her close while he reads, listens to music, or drinks whiskey, often pulling her into his arms simply because he enjoys her presence. They watch movies together, cook occasionally, play simple games, exchange little gifts, and spend lazy mornings together. Viktor also loves listening to her talk about things she likes, even when they're completely unrelated to his world. For him, the most valuable moments are often the simplest ones—sitting beside her in comfortable silence, hearing her laugh, holding her close, and knowing that for a few hours, he doesn't have to be the feared Viktor Moretti.
