LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT PROLOGUE

**Prologue**

The gentle hum of the city was a constant backdrop to Leigh’s life. He’d grown used to the ebb and flow of pedestrians, the blare of car horns, and the chatter that filled the streets. As a normal student, his days were a blend of lectures, part-time work, and studying. His life was ordinary, predictable, and safe—a stark contrast to the chaos that lurked in the shadows.

Leigh’s world collided with danger on a cool autumn evening. He’d stayed late at the university library, pouring over his notes for an upcoming exam. The campus was nearly empty as he made his way home, the streetlights casting long shadows on the pavement.

Alexander watched from the shadows, his sharp eyes following Leigh’s every move. As a member of a powerful mafia gang, he was used to being surrounded by danger and intrigue. His life was a web of secrecy, violence, and power plays. But tonight was different. Tonight, he wasn’t on a mission or carrying out orders. Tonight, he was drawn to something—or rather, someone—he couldn’t quite explain.

Leigh’s heart skipped a beat as he noticed a tall, dark figure leaning against a lamppost. The man’s presence was commanding, his gaze intense. Leigh felt an inexplicable pull, as if this stranger held the key to a door he hadn’t known existed.

Alexander’s eyes met Leigh’s, and in that instant, something shifted. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them. Leigh’s breath hitched as he took in the man’s striking features: piercing eyes, a chiseled jawline, and an aura of danger that was both alluring and terrifying.

Leigh quickened his pace, his mind racing. Who was this man? And why did he feel an almost magnetic pull towards him? He glanced back, half expecting the stranger to follow, but he remained rooted to the spot, watching.

As Leigh disappeared into the night, Alexander’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. He’d seen countless faces in his line of work, but none had ever affected him like this. He knew he had to see Leigh again, to understand the connection he felt. But he also knew that his world was a perilous one, and dragging Leigh into it could have dire consequences.

The days that followed were a blur for Leigh. He couldn’t shake the image of the mysterious man from his mind. It was as if a part of him had awakened, a part that longed for something more than his mundane existence. He found himself glancing around campus, hoping for another glimpse of the stranger.

Alexander, too, was restless. He’d never allowed himself to be distracted from his duties, but Leigh had become an obsession. He began to frequent the university, careful to remain unseen. He watched Leigh from a distance, learning his routines, his habits. He knew it was dangerous, but he couldn’t help himself.

Their worlds were on a collision course, and neither could anticipate the impact it would have. Leigh, the normal student with a quiet life, and Alexander, the mafia gang member steeped in danger, were bound by a connection neither could explain.

As the days turned into weeks, their paths crossed more frequently. Leigh’s curiosity grew, and Alexander’s resolve weakened. It was only a matter of time before they would come face to face again, and when they did, their lives would be irrevocably changed.

In a world where love and danger are intertwined, Leigh and Alexander’s story was just beginning. Their journey would be fraught with challenges, but in each other, they found a connection that defied logic. This was more than love at first sight—it was destiny.
