  “Ollie, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you not to scream.” 
  HER 
  We met by chance at a random dive bar. 
  Him - a striking figure in a tailored suit who radiates dominance. 
  Me - an awkward introvert, innocently stalking my father. 
  He seduced me. 
  Worshipped me. 
  Then, in a blink, he vanished, leaving no trace—not even a name or number. 
  HIM 
  I wasn’t supposed to see her again. 
  We were never meant to meet in the first place. 
  But here we are: 
  Her - half asleep after passing out at work. 
  Me - caught sneaking into her family business in the middle of the night. 
  She has no clue who I am—that I’ve just settled into a ruthless birthright position within the Italian mafia. Or that her family legacy plays a role in my illegal activities. But I have a feeling the dead body at my feet might bring her up to speed.
