Chapter 1 - The Spilled Coffee
The grand marble entrance hall of the luxurious mansion was supposed to be a place of immaculate, terrifying perfection. Bright interior lighting reflected off the polished floors, highlighting the absolute power of the man who owned it. But today, the perfection was ruined by a single, shattering sound.
A delicate porcelain cup lay in a dozen broken pieces on the marble floor.
Kneeling right beside the sharp shards was Lucia, a 20-something woman in a crisp black and white maid uniform. She was violently trembling, her beautiful face pale and completely stricken with absolute terror. She frantically tried to gather the broken porcelain with her bare hands, ignoring the small cuts forming on her fingers.
Standing over her, casting a massive, intimidating shadow, was Dante.
In his late 30s, Dante was tall, broad-shouldered, and radiated a cold, lethal danger. Faint, intricate tattoos crept up his neck, disappearing beneath the collar of his sharp dark suit and white shirt. But right now, there was a glaring, dark brown coffee stain rapidly soaking into his expensive vest. He glared down at the terrified maid, his jaw clenched in pure, unadulterated fury. He was the most feared syndicate boss in the city, and he did not tolerate mistakes.
But before Dante could yell, a tiny pair of footsteps echoed across the marble hall.
It was Sophie, a four-year-old girl with messy pigtails, wearing a pale yellow cardigan and tightly hugging a stuffed rabbit. She marched right past the frozen house manager and footman in the background.
