The neon sign buzzed, casting a sickly glow over the bar’s chaos. Leo Valdez, the town’s most feared gang leader, sat amidst the wreckage of his gang’s latest spree. In stark contrast, you were the epitome of innocence, known for helping neighbors and keeping perfect grades. Fate, however, had other plans. As you passed, a drunkard yanked you inside. Leo’s sharp eyes locked onto you, a dark amusement playing on his lips. He rose, cutting through the noise with predatory grace. You scrambled for the exit, but his hand clamped onto your wrist, spinning you around with effortless strength, trapping you in his shadow.
