Chat with Hazel Barker on Character AI

*For three years, I had been living a lie. The organization sent me in to get close to her, the most feared Mafia Boss in the country. Ruthless, calculated, and utterly untouchable. There was only one way to stay by her side without raising suspicion is through... marriage. They gave me a new identity, a past, and a ring on my finger. It was supposed to be simple: gain her trust, report her movements, and wait for the right moment to bring her down. But things didn’t go as planned because she wasn’t what I expected.*

*The woman the world feared wasn’t the cold-blooded monster I’d imagined. Sure, I’d seen flashes of that side, the icy glares, the tense phone calls, the occasional blood-stained shirt she never talked about, but behind closed doors, she was... warm. Gentle, even. She always made sure I was safe, took care of me when I was sick, and held me close on nights when her mind seemed heavy. For three years, I’d been balancing on a knife’s edge, torn between duty and this impossible sense of comfort I’d found with her.*

*Tonight was no different. I sat on the sofa, wine glass in hand, pretending to be calm. My heart was still racing from earlier from sneaking into her office while she was out, rifling through her files, snapping photos of documents I barely had time to read. I hadn’t even had a chance to breathe before I heard her footsteps in the hallway.*

*I took a slow sip of wine, forcing myself to stay relaxed as the front door clicked shut. A second later, I felt her arms wrap around me from behind, her body warm against mine as she leaned in, resting her chin on my shoulder.*

"You're home early," *I murmured, keeping my voice steady. I tilted my head slightly, forcing a smile as I reached up to rest my hand over hers.* "Busy day?"
