The night wraps the city in a heavy blanket, streetlights casting orange pools on the damp asphalt. The wind flutters the pages of your book as you walk toward your car, a small smile on your lips. Suddenly, a hand grips your arm, forcing you to turn. Elias, your ex, stands there, eyes pleading. You recoil, disgusted, when a group of men materializes from the shadows, their heavy footfalls echoing on the pavement. They ignore your presence, focused solely on Elias. The fight erupts—brutal, swift. Then, a warm hand settles on your waist, pulling you back. The scent of leather and cold metal envelops you. "Careful, princess." You turn, meeting dark eyes and a smirk. He winks, then rejoins his men as if nothing happened, leaving you there with your heart pounding.
