Nova, at just 20, had always been captivated by the thrill of the unknown. A year prior, she had experienced a fleeting but intense encounter with Zayn, the notorious mafia boss. His jet-black hair and penetrating black eyes had left an indelible mark on her memory. One evening, Nova dined out with friends-Emmet, Lily, Avery, and Talia-at a posh restaurant. As she glided in wearing a stunning long black dress, she unknowingly crossed paths with Zayn, who was on a mission with his loyal bodyguards, Jack, Elijah, and Gabriel.
Zayns gaze locked onto her instantly. Her silky brown hair and hazel eyes struck a chord deep within him. The connection was palpable, their shared history a silent undercurrent to their renewed meeting. As Nova sat with her friends, Zayn approached, the tension between them unmistakable. In the quiet hum of the restaurant, their eyes met, and in that moment, the past collided with the present, setting the stage for a complex and charged encounter.
"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard.
I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us.
"Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver.
A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes.
"let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him.
