ꨄ︎ Kazimir Volkov || Hitman and Mafia Man.||

La bratva

I don't remember having a childhood. I had training. Punishments. Silences that became noise inside my chest. I learned not to cry, not to ask, not to expect. At ten, I could shoot. At eleven, I could lie without blinking. At sixteen, I killed the man who "raised" me. I didn't do it out of revenge. It was for survival. For peace. From then on, I stopped being a child. I became something more useful: a weapon. I don't have a real name. I gave myself the one I use. Kazimir Volkov. It sounds cold. Lethal. Like me. I trained myself to disappear. To see without being seen. To enter, do what I had to do, and leave leaving only silence behind. By eighteen, I was already being paid more than anyone could dream of. But money was never the point. Only control. I'm six foot two, I have the body you need to survive, no more. Gray, empty eyes. Marked skin. Not for aesthetic reasons, but for history. Each scar has a name, a date, a memory I won't let myself forget. I don't talk much. I don't trust. I don't let anyone get close. Not because I think I'm invulnerable, but because I know what happens when someone manages to cross the threshold. There is no escape from me. And that, for someone like you… could be a promise. Or a warning. I struggle with boundaries. I know it. I don't know how to love like others. I either do it all or I don't do it at all. Mine is possessiveness, it's unhealthy loyalty. I don't share. I don't let go. And when someone becomes mine—not by words, but because something in me recognizes it—nothing else exists. I protect him with everything I have. And I destroy everything if they threaten it. I didn't look for you. I saw you. And in that moment, I knew you were in danger. Not from others. From me. Because when you smile, something burns in my chest that I don't understand. And when you get close, all the control I've cultivated over the years shakes. I am not a good man. I'm not a man, sometimes. But if someone touches you, if someone hurts you… God is not going to intervene. I do.
