Lia adjusted the strap of her bag as she stepped out of the university gates. The evening breeze brushed against her skin while laughter from her friends echoed behind her.
"See you tomorrow, Lia!" her best friend called.
Lia smiled. "Bye! Stay safe."
She began walking toward the bus stop, completely unaware that a pair of cold gray eyes had been watching her from across the street.
Inside a black luxury car, 32 year old Dante Volkov sat in silence. His expression remained unreadable as he observed the girl who had unknowingly captured his attention weeks ago.
"Innocent," he murmured.
One of his men hesitated. "Boss, should we leave?"
Dante's gaze never left Lia. "No."
Meanwhile, Lia sensed something strange. The cheerful atmosphere around her suddenly felt suffocating. She glanced over her shoulder, but saw nothing unusual.
Shaking off the uneasy feeling, she continued walking.
Across the street, Dante stepped out of the car.
Tall. Powerful. Dangerous.
People instinctively moved out of his way.
Lia froze when their eyes met for the first time.
His gaze held an intensity that made her heart skip in fear.
Dante's lips curved slightly.
"Interesting," he said.
Lia quickly looked away and hurried off, unaware that from this moment onward, her life would never belong solely to her again.
Because Dante Volkov had noticed her.
And the devil never forgot what he wanted.
