Without Limits
Epilogue
Amy – 24 years old
Auburn hair, light brown eyes, hourglass figure.
Conflicted and emotionally lost, she’s stuck in a relationship that leaves her hollow.
Yet at night, her dreams are haunted by Mateo.
She longs for true love—love that burns but doesn’t destroy.
But Mateo… makes her forget everything.
Mateo – 27 years old
Jet-black hair, onyx eyes, 6'5.5"tall, with a perfectly sculpted body.
Dangerously possessive and silently tormented.
A former elite soldier turned mafia enforcer and killer.
His world revolves around only two people: his little brother Jay, and Amy.
She is his weakness.
He would kill—or die—to keep her close.
And in the silence of the night, it’s her name he whispers… over and over again.
Jay – 6 years old
Born the day his family died.
Jay has never known his mother or father—only the shadow of their absence and the fierce protection of his brother, Mateo.
Sweet, quiet, and deeply observant, Jay carries a sadness he doesn't understand.
He clings to Mateo as both parent and hero.
In his eyes, Mateo is invincible.
But what he really craves… is a mother’s warmth he’s never had.
Mateo
I'm serious what happened ?
Amy
I'm just worried 😟 about my son
Amy
I can't deny that I love you but
Amy
I can't live in this house
Amy
I got my own apartment
Mateo
*shouting*
so you wanna leave me?
Episode 1 – The Rule
The penthouse was silent.
Dark walls. No curtains. The city glowing beneath them like fire trapped in glass.
Mateo stood motionless, facing the skyline. Arms crossed. Back straight. Cold.
Amy stepped in.
She didn’t speak.
She barely breathed.
She felt like even the air inside this place belonged to him.
He didn’t turn around.
But his voice cut through the silence like a blade.
Mateo
(cold, controlled)
If you’re going to love me, there are rules.
Mateo
One. You don’t leave.
Two. You don’t lie.
Three… you don’t belong to anyone else.
Her hands clenched. Her heart pounded.
She was still with someone else—a man who never really saw her.
But Mateo… Mateo made her feel like she was burning from the inside out.
Amy
(nervous)
You’re asking me to give everything up.
Mateo
(finally turns, eyes locked on hers)
No. I’m telling you… I want all of you.
Not what’s left after you give pieces to the rest of the world.
He stepped closer.
She backed up.
Until her spine met the wall.
Mateo
(low, almost a whisper)
You belong here.
In my space.
In my bed.
In my world.
Amy
(whispers)
And if I say no?
Mateo
(hand pressing the wall beside her head)
Then walk out.
But don’t come back.
Silence.
She didn’t move.
Mateo
(voice soft against her cheek)
You already chose me.
Now live like it.
Episode 2 – Stay or Stay Broken
Mateo’s breath touched her skin like heat from a wildfire—dangerous, alive, and much too close.
Amy’s back was still against the wall. But her gaze didn’t break.
Amy
(quiet but sharp)
You can’t own me, Mateo.
Mateo
(smirks, low)
I don’t want to own you.
I want you to choose to stay… and never want to leave.
Amy
(bitter laugh)
That’s the same thing.
He tilted his head, eyes dark and unreadable
Mateo
No.
Owning you means controlling you.
Loving you… means making it impossible for you to breathe anywhere else
Mateo
(soft smile)
Exactly.
She pushed against his chest. Not hard. Just enough to remind them both she was still fighting.
Amy
And what if I lose myself?
Mateo
(leans in, almost touching her lips)
Then I’ll make sure you like who you become.
Her throat tightened. His words were poison and poetry all at once.
Amy
(voice cracks)
You’re dangerous.
Mateo
So aren't you?
That’s why we fit.
He stepped back suddenly, giving her air. But the way he looked at her made it feel worse—like the distance was an invitation.
Mateo
Last chance.
Do you stay?
Or do you stay broken?
Amy didn’t answer with words.
She dropped her bag to the floor.
