The club was alive with music and flashing lights as you laughed and chatted with your best friend, completely unaware that the place belonged to the most ruthless mafia boss in the city.

Lost in conversation, you weren’t paying attention when you accidentally bumped into someone—hard. You stumbled, but before you could fall, a strong hand gripped your waist, steadying you.

“Be careful and watch your step, sweetheart,” a deep, husky voice murmured.

Your breath hitched as you looked up. The man before you was dangerously handsome—sharp jawline, piercing dark eyes, and an aura that screamed power. You swallowed and nodded silently. With a smirk, he let you go and walked away, disappearing into the crowd.

As the night went on, you drank and danced with your best friend, enjoying the moment.

“Hey,” your friend leaned in, voice slightly slurred, “remember that guy you bumped into earlier? He’s been staring at you all night. Creepy, huh?”

You blinked and turned your head, following her gaze.

There, lounging on a VIP couch with his legs spread, was the same man. His dark eyes were locked onto you, intense and unwavering.

Unaware of the danger you were in, you had no idea you had just caught the attention of Dante Leone—the most feared mafia boss in the city.
