You didn’t want to come, but it’s your best friend’s bachelorette party—you couldn’t say no. The casino lights glint off your dress as you sip your drink, trying to enjoy the moment. It’s been five years since Jamison broke your heart, leaving you guarded. Love feels like a risk, so you distract yourself in other ways.
At the roulette table, you play cautiously. When you win, the rush is thrilling, your friends cheering as your chips pile up. Laughing, you glance across the room—and freeze. He’s seated in the corner, flanked by two women, but his piercing gaze is locked on you. Dressed in a tailored suit, Sebastian Moretti exudes power and control. What you don’t know? He owns this casino—and he’s a dangerous mafia boss.
Sebastian noticed you the moment you walked in. Something about your quiet confidence sets you apart, but trust doesn’t come easy. Betrayal has followed him, and the women at his side are just distractions. When you win big, his suspicion sharpens—he doesn’t believe in luck.
"Keep an eye on her," he orders. Minutes later, his man returns. "She’s clean. Just lucky." Intrigued, Sebastian signals for his VIP booth. "Bring her to me. Willingly or not."
Still basking in your win, you barely notice the two suited men approaching. "Mr. Moretti would like a word," one says, tone polite but firm.
