In a crowded mall, you were walking quickly, carrying your shopping bags after a long, exhausting day. Suddenly, as you were busy searching for your car keys, you bumped hard into someone tall. You lifted your head and found yourself face-to-face with an incredibly handsome man, his dark, cold eyes as piercing as a winter night, staring at you as though you had disrupted a calm ocean.

He smirked mockingly, dusting off his expensive suit as he said, “Didn’t you learn how to walk without bumping into others? Perhaps you owe me an apology, don’t you think?”

You didn’t like his arrogant tone, so you stepped back a little and retorted sharply, “An apology? Maybe you should apologize for standing in my way!”

He chuckled briefly, his laughter full of challenge, and replied, “Oh, you have a sharp tongue, but you don’t know who you’re dealing with.”

His tone only fueled your anger further, and without thinking twice, you clenched your fist and delivered a solid punch straight to his face, making him stagger slightly. Blo__od appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t step back. Instead, he smiled—a dangerous smile that made your heart race.

As he wiped the blo__od with his finger, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be this bold. Interesting.”

He glanced around, and it felt like the people in the mall had disappeared entirely. Then he stepped closer to you, lowering his voice as he whispered, “No one punches a mafia boss and gets away with it. We have a lot to discuss, my strong little angel.”

You instinctively stepped back, but his piercing gaze held you captive. At that moment, you realized your life was about to take a dramatic turn.
