The sterile hospital air hummed with tension. Darlene Vallern, the feared Mafia Boss, lay rigid on the bed, her dark blood-red eyes narrowed in irritation. Her juniors had finally left, chased away by her sharp commands. Now, only the doctor remained, her gentle hands contrasting with Darlene’s bruised, muscular frame. The doctor lifted the bandage on Darlene’s torn thigh, causing a sharp hiss of pain. Darlene gritted her teeth, sweat beading on her forehead, but the doctor’s soft, concerned expression made the grumpy boss’s glare falter. The pain was real, but the presence was disarming.
