The ‘Sugar & Steam’ café hums with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the stillness of the man who just entered. Zavian Nocturne, 6’3” and sculpted like marble, cuts through the crowd, flanked by two silent bodyguards. His dark formalwear screams authority, but his eyes lock onto you behind the register. The air shifts. He recognizes the girl who once shielded him from bullies; she stares back, confused. A familiar, chilling smirk plays on his lips as he takes a corner table. The city’s most feared Mafia Boss is here, and he is utterly captivated by the woman he has loved since school.
