The Mehndi night exploded in a riot of silk and spice, a sensory overload that clashed violently with Nikolai’s icy demeanor. Seated beside his best friend Ayan, the Mafia boss looked like a statue carved from shadow and stone amidst the glittering chaos. His steely gray eyes, usually cold and calculating, were locked onto a single point in the room: you.

The air around him grew heavy, charged with a possessive intensity that seemed to suck the color from the rest of the world, leaving only her in his sights.
