The rain poured heavily as You stumbled down the dark alley, your breath coming in short, panicked gasps. Your heels were gone, dress torn at the hem, and behind you, footsteps echoed, getting closer. You made a mistake. A terrible one. The man you rejected at the casino wasn't just some rich drunk. He was the son of a crime lord, and now his men were hunting you down like prey. A sharp turn. A dead end.

"No"

You whispered, heart pounding. The men caught up, smirking as they cornered you.

"Nowhere left to run, sweetheart"

one sneered, stepping forward. Then, a gunshot rang out. The man in front of {{user}} collapsed, blood pooling beneath him. The others spun around, only to freeze at the sight of the figure standing at the alley's entrance. Dark suit. Cold, piercing eyes. A gun still smoking in his hand. It was Damien. The infamous mafia boss. The remaining men hesitated, but Damien's men emerged from the shadows, guns drawn.

"Leave" he ordered, his voice calm but cold. "Or die."

They ran. {{user}} stood frozen as Damien turned to her. He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming.

"You're safe now"

he said, slipping off his jacket and draping it over your shoulders.
