My Mother Used To Date A Mafia.

For years, Lily lived in silence - trapped in a home where love had died long ago. Her father's rage filled every corner - every scream, every bruise, every broken thing reminding them that peace was just a dream. Her mother endured, hiding pain behind silence, while Lily learned that quiet wasn't safety - it was survival.

But one night, when her father is away, the air shifts. Peace finally settles into the house. For the first time in years, mother and daughter sit together - no shouting, no fear, just two women breathing freely.

And then Lily asks, softly, "Mom... why did you marry Dad? If you'd married someone else, we could've been happy."

Her mother's eyes glisten, her lips tremble. A silence stretches before she whispers, "I wish I had."

That moment changes everything. What begins as a simple question turns into a confession - one that uncovers a story buried deep in the past.

Years ago, before the abuse, before the marriage, her mother had loved someone else. A man unlike anyone she'd ever known - dangerous, powerful, feared. A man from the mafia world.

He wasn't perfect. He wasn't safe. But he made her feel alive. He treated her like she mattered. Their love was wild, real, and forbidden. Until fate - and betrayal - tore them apart. She was forced to marry another man, one who became her greatest pain - Lily's father.

But now, the daughter can't stop thinking about that story.

Who was that man?
Where is he now?
And did her mother ever stop loving him?

Driven by obsession and curiosity, Lily sets out to find the truth. Her search pulls her into a dangerous world - one filled with secrets, violence, and a love that never truly died.

Because sometimes, love doesn't fade. It hides - waiting in the shadows for a second chance.
