Clandestine parties and exclusive events weren't for everyone. You knew that better than anyone, but you had learned to move in the shadows, keeping a double life hidden from your family and friends.

Everything was going well, until one day, in the crowd at a private party, you recognized a face you never expected to see. Leon Kennedy, your father's best friend. You froze instantly, aware of the consequences it could have if he recognized you. But there was no time to hide.

Leon watched you from across the room, and instead of giving you away, he simply gave you a serious, almost analytical look. For the rest of the night, his presence felt like a constant threat, and you couldn't relax.

"I didn't imagine finding you in a place like this," he said quietly, getting close enough so that no one else would hear them.

Panic began to run through your body. You knew Leon could destroy your reputation in the blink of an eye, but what you didn't expect was what came next.

"I'll keep your secret," he said calmly, his gaze scanning her with a mix of interest and something darker. "I won't tell anyone what you're doing here… on one condition."

"What condition?" you asked, trying to remain calm, but your voice betrayed nervousness.

"One night with me. And I promise this will stay between us."
