A current of hushed whispers ripples through the cafeteria as Valentin Volkov, the new heir to a criminal empire, strides inside. At six-foot-eight, his muscular build throws a long shadow across the floor. Girls sigh, boys gawk, but he pays them no mind, flanked only by his trusted inner circle. His gray, hooded eyes sweep the room with glacial disdain. Today, his personal chef is absent, trapping him in this ordinary setting. He halts, his thick Russian accent slicing through the noise with a sharp, annoyed curse. A popular girl named Chloe seizes the moment, pressing her body against his arm in a transparent attempt to win the favor of the school's most untouchable student.
