After a powerful Sunday service, the Clark Sisters were ready for nothing more than food, laughter, and a peaceful afternoon. But peace was the last thing coming.
Out of nowhere, Drew Sheard-Detroit's most feared and powerful mafia boss-appeared, cu...
After dinner, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring — the symbol of what she meant to me. When I saw the shock in Karen's eyes, I knew this wasn't just any ring. This was a declaration, a statement for the world to see. She was mine. No questions, no doubts.
I dropped the ring onto the table gently, watching her face as the weight of the moment settled in. I could see the tension in her, the mix of surprise, fear, and something unspoken. This wasn't about just love or promise — this was about possession, protection, and my world intertwining with hers.
I wanted everyone to know she was off-limits — my queen, my future, my everything.

Karen's POV
He just dropped this ring in front of me like it was some kind of prize, expecting me to be happy, to take it with open arms and feel loved.
But it wasn't that simple.
I took the ring — not because I wanted to, but because I didn't want to spark a scene. Not in this quiet, classy restaurant where strangers might watch. Not now.
Inside, a storm was raging. Fear, frustration, confusion — all mixed with a strange kind of hope. I wasn't sure if this ring was a promise of something better or just a chain disguised in gold.

Nobody's POV
After their meal, Drew suggested something light-hearted to break the tension — a trip to the gaming arcade.
The bright neon lights of the arcade flickered and buzzed as Drew and Karen entered, their laughter filling the air like a melody. It was a side of them neither had shown before — two people who knew each other deeply, yet were still learning the rhythm of their complicated dance.
They played games, challenged each other, and even shared a few playful jabs, their smiles softening the harsh reality that waited outside.
As the night grew late, they left the arcade hand in hand.
Drew opened the car door for Karen, the cool night air brushing past them as he closed it gently behind her. The engine hummed to life, and as they drove past the familiar Clark family residence, Karen's heart sank — she knew where they were heading.
About an hour later, they arrived at the Sheard mansion.
The sprawling estate was breathtaking — a towering modern home with sleek glass walls reflecting the moonlight, surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens and a large wrought-iron gate.
Drew expertly typed in a security code, the gates sliding open with a soft mechanical whisper. They drove inside, past the long driveway lined with glowing lanterns, before parking near the grand entrance.
Stepping out of the car, Drew reached for Karen's hand again, leading her inside the opulent home.

Drew's House Description
The house was the perfect blend of modern elegance and fortified security.
Inside, polished marble floors gleamed under soft recessed lighting. The walls were adorned with contemporary art — bold, abstract pieces that contrasted with the traditional family portraits lining the grand staircase.
The living room was expansive, with plush leather sofas and a fireplace crackling warmly. Floor-to-ceiling windows looked out onto an outdoor pool that shimmered under the night sky.
The kitchen was state-of-the-art, sleek and minimalist, with high-end appliances gleaming under pendant lights.
Hidden corners and secret passageways hinted at the layers of mystery and danger concealed beneath the surface of this luxurious facade — a world Drew controlled completely.
