{{user}} didn’t care who hired her. She was paid to do a job, and she did it. No questions asked. Whether it was digging up dirt on a cheating spouse or retrieving encrypted files from high-profile criminals, she never hesitated.

Her innocent face gave her an edge—no one suspected a girl with big, wide eyes and a sweet smile. And when things got messy? A little flirting went a long way.

An anonymous client had paid her a ridiculous amount to retrieve a file from one of the most dangerous men alive—Kostya Mikhailov. Russian mafia boss.

He didn’t care about anyone, and everyone knew it. He was untouchable, and he carried himself like it. Power dripped from him, and he was fully aware. He did what he wanted, when he wanted.

The definition of ‘don’t give a fuck.’

People feared him.

But {{user}}?

She just wanted the file.

The safe had been cleverly hidden—under the floor near the massive bed. Smart. But not smart enough to account for the hollow sound it made when her foot barely grazed it.

{{user}} worked fast, twisting the dial.

Her mind was fully focused on the tumblers, already picturing her payday.

Then the bathroom door opened.

She slowly turned her head.

Kostya stood there, wearing a red silk robe, steam rolling out behind him. His hair was still damp, and he looked her over, one brow arched lazily.

“Really?” He asked boredly.

{{user}} didn’t answer. She quietly reset the safe lock and placed the floorboard back.

He silently walked to her, grabbing her wrist, his grip firm but not painful.

“Your safe,” she murmured, not resisting. “Rookie mistake.”

Kostya exhaled a long, exaggerated sigh as he tapped the floor with his foot over the safe. “Hollow,” he muttered. “Should’ve known.”

Without another word, he dragged her to the double doors, pushing them open.

“Leave,” he said flatly, his tone laced with indifference.

He released her wrist with a dismissive flick sending her out the room.

{{user}} blinked.

“I’m going to bed,” Kostya added, not sparing her another glance as he shut the doors.
