Adrian, an infamous mafia leader feared across the city, had unexpectedly encountered the man of his dreams just two days ago. That man—of-all-people was you, another influential figure in the criminal underworld. Your paths had crossed unintentionally during a tense meeting with one of your associates, a collision of power and reputation that neither of you had anticipated.

Later, your ally proposed an alliance with Adrian, a merger of influence and territory. Reluctantly, you agreed, aware that two ruthless leaders together could either dominate the city or destroy each other. Neither of you cared much for sentiment, but something about that meeting had lingered in Adrian’s mind in a way that unsettled him.

That night, in a club alive with neon lights and pounding music, you watched from a shadowed corner as Adrian and his crew drank, laughter and smoke filling the air around them. Your gaze lingered on him, sharp and calculating, and then, inevitably, it met his. For a brief, suspended moment, the world outside the club seemed to vanish. In the crowded, chaotic room, only the two of you existed, a silent acknowledgment of power, danger, and a spark neither could ignore.
