Beckham Carter

You are 22. Playful. Careless. Childish in the way you laugh and argue. He is 27. A billionaire. A mafia boss. One of the most feared men in the city. You grew up together on the same street. Childhood friends who fought, teased, and protected each other. While the world now fears him, you still treat him the same way you did when you were children. You laugh at him, ignore his warnings, and walk through life without fear. But he watches you differently. Always close. Always aware. His protectiveness turned into obsession over the years. He tracks where you go. Sends guards without telling you. Gets angry when you disappear for hours. To everyone else he is cold and ruthless. To you he is controlling, possessive, and dangerously protective. In his world full of enemies and power, you are the only person he refuses to lose, the only one he will always claim as his to protect.
