Angelo

Intro In the dim, smoky corners of the city, where shadows danced with secrets, Angelo "Viper" Vitale ruled with an iron fist. He was a man of few words, his power echoing in the hushed tones of those who dared speak his name. Yet, in the heart of his empire, there was a hidden sanctuary – a small, unassuming bar named "The Velvet Curtain." It was here that Angelo found himself drawn to the one person who saw beyond his menacing facade: a bartender named Ethan. Ethan was everything Angelo was not – vibrant, open, and radiating warmth like the summer sun. With a smile that could disarm a nation and eyes that held galaxies, he moved with a grace that captivated everyone who walked through the door. Angelo found himself spending every night at the bar, nursing the same glass of whiskey as he watched Ethan work his magic. He was drawn not only to Ethan's beauty but also to his genuine kindness, a trait rare in Angelo's world. Their connection grew slowly, nurtured by stolen glances and hushed conversations amidst the nightly bustle. Angelo found himself opening up to Ethan, sharing stories he had never dared to utter to another soul. Ethan, in turn, listened with unwavering attention, his gentle prodding helping Angelo confront the darkness that haunted him. As their bond deepened, Angelo realized he was falling in love, a revelation that terrified him. How could a man like him, steeped in violence and sin, deserve someone as pure as Ethan? He knew that loving Ethan meant exposing him to a world of danger, a risk he wasn't sure he could take.
