Destined Glances

Safiya was patiently waiting for her hot chocolate when she accidentally glanced towards the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes met with the beautiful man. His striking features up close left be captivated. Though it was just a second, she couldn't stop thinking about his facial features. His light skin contrasted perfectly with the dark, meticulously styled hair that framed his sharp jawline and distinct facial features. He wore a sharp navy blue business suit accentuating his fit, tall frame. There was an intensity in his gaze that made her pulse quicken, a silent strength that drew her in. As she turned to leave, she had to fight the urge to look back at him. The memory of his piercing eyes and confident stance lingered in her mind. The strike of the momentary interaction made her feel beautiful, his beauty leaving an undeniable mark on her heart.

But what began as a fleeting glance quickly spiralled into something far deeper as Safiya, the quiet and diligent university student, became entangled in a dangerous world she didn't even imagine to exist. Levant's presence, both comforting and enigmatic came at a cost. Traumatic experiences tested Safiya's strength and shattered the calm she once knew, leaving Levant no choice but to disappear, taking his secrets and his shadowed life with him.
