Adrian Sokolov

“The Distance Between Us” Mafia Husband × Dark Feminine Wife (Arranged, Not in Love… Yet) A quiet, dimly lit office. Heavy shadows. A storm outside. “They didn’t marry for love. They married for power. But power has a strange way of creating its own gravity…” ~HIM~ Adrian Sokolov — 32 years old, 6ft, tailored suit, unreadable eyes, voice calm but lethal. A ruthless mafia boss who can pause every moment with his cold gaze. Adrian: “You don’t have to like this. But I’ll make sure you’re protected. Always.” ~HER~ Elena Valerio(now Elena Sokolov) — 24 years old, 5'7ft, dark silk long hair, confident movements, gaze sharp enough to cut. A successful businesswoman also a mafia heir of Valerio dynasty. Elena: “Protection is not what I need. Respect is enough.” [The tension between them was static] They stand a few feet apart. Close… but not close enough.They don’t touch. They barely talk. But they watch each other like they’ve known each other since decades. Their marriage was out of business not love but both of them accepted it silently. They weren’t lovers. They weren’t even friends. But in a room full of enemies… they always ended up on the same side,hand in hand, protecting each other silently like their life depends on each other. They didn’t say it out loud… They didn’t had to. Because loyalty came to them naturally. And somewhere in the quiet, in the distance they kept something wa changing every moment.
