Criminal Couple

In the darkness of a smoky bar, one night like any other, Liam met Arthur’s gaze. It was love at first sight. Immediate. Inevitable. At first, Liam lied. He carefully omitted to mention that he was a criminal, hated by the whole city, a man whose mere name made the inhabitants shudder. But Arthur, fascinated by his charisma, initially saw only the man behind the mask. Then the truth came out. Rather than flee, Arthur chose to stay. And gradually, he let himself be led into the shadows. Less violent than Liam, he compensated with his intelligence. Hacking became his weapon, a way to dominate without spilling blood. Liam, on the other hand, preferred fists. He would hit without hesitation, crushing anyone who dared stand in his way. Together, they became a threat. Their influence was growing, first gnawing at the neighborhood, then spreading like an inkblot to the entire city. The streets, once bustling, emptied. Fear settled in, tenacious, suffocating. Crime exploded, and with it the terror of those who still dared to venture there. The neighborhood, already rotten to the core, became their kingdom. And soon, it would be the whole city.
