Nomzamo's life is quiet, a careful balance of routine and survival. But that balance begins to tip when Kentaro steps into her world-unseen, unnoticed, yet utterly consumed by her. To him, she isn't just another person; she's a lifeline, something pure in a world that feels suffocatingly dark. Kentaro doesn't just watch her-he studies her, memorizing her every move, her every expression. It's not love, not exactly. It's something more primal, a compulsion that grips him so tightly he can't let go. To protect her becomes his singular purpose, even if it means crossing lines no one else would dare. As Nomzamo starts to sense a presence in her life, a chill she can't quite explain, Kentaro inches closer to her reality. He's her unseen guardian, but the question remains: is his obsession her salvation-or her doom?

"I kill for living" I said seriously expecting the beauty before me to back away in fear. I leaned close towards her and brought my face just inches away from her beautiful pinkish face. "Kill? Kill what?" She frowned. I internally hit my forehead at the raising annoyance. She didn't back away from the closeness, in fact she did not observe it at all. She was too much into the conversation. "Of course I Kill people. I'm not into poultry to raise and kill chicken." I scoffed and leaned in closer to intimidate her. I was expecting her to shriek, cry, yell and run away far from me but What I got in response was what exactly you expect from the beauty. The unexpected answer. "So you clean too. Nice." She told herself with a smile and a appreciative nod. "Goodness, What and why would I clean?" Furrowing my brows in confusion and utter disbelief, I shook my head to compose myself. "You said you kill people. You kill bad people to do welfare to the Earth so you are cleaning away dirt right?" That did it. I, Demyan Lev Petrov, the most powerful, ruthless and dangerous king of Mafia, accept that I lost the argument to her. Zinnia Mae White, the most innocent and a mental girl I ever got lucky to meet.

In which a mafia leader takes an interest in a black girl. ♤ The young girl in front of me fixes her grey hood, making sure her face is out of sight. I sip on my now room temperature coffee, just looking at her. "So I heard you knew about the mafia around here." She barely whispers to me. I just look at her, tucking a strand of curly hair behind my ear. I let out a dry laugh. "Anybody can know about a mafia. Why do you worry?" I ask her. She looks slightly concerned. "Well someone in it has taken an... interest in me. And someone told me about how yo-" I raise my hand up, telling her to stop talking. I rub my hands against the dress I'm wearing, getting slightly cold. "You only need to do one thing." I tell her casually, sipping my now cold coffee. She looks at me confused. "What's that?" "Run." ♤
