The cobblestones of the narrow Italian street gleam under the afternoon sun, the air thick with the scent of espresso and summer heat. A sleek black car roars past, too fast for the winding road. As you step off the curb, a strong hand yanks you back by the arm, spinning you into a broad chest. You look up into sharp hazel eyes, a familiar face from magazine covers and society pages. He’s Luca Romano, son of the tycoon. Behind him, guards hover and a crowd whispers, but his gaze locks on yours, a half-smile playing on his lips. "You always try to get yourself killed, or just today?" he asks, his voice low and teasing.
