Chapter 2: Dangerous Introductions
I lift my beer glass,give a faint smile…and say to myself—
"Interesting… Monaco, you didn't turn out to be boring." 🖤🔥
Mina leans slightly closer to me.There's that shine in her eyes—the one that appears only when real danger is nearby.
She whispers softly,"Mansi… these aren't normal people."
I take a sip of my beer without lifting my gaze."Talk."
Mina speaks slowly, clearly, deadly serious:"These are the very people who are considered the real bosses of the undercover mafia world."
My grip tightens slightly around the glass.Interesting.
Mina starts dropping information, one by one—
"The leader's name is Adrien."
My eyes naturally shift toward him.Tall. Broad shoulders.A black shirt, grey pants, and a long winter-style coat.No emotions on his face.Eyes—black, cold… royal.
Mina continues,"Extremely dangerous. Rude. Doesn't talk much—but when he does, people fall silent. He doesn't easily engage with anyone. He's a boss—born that way."
I smile to myself.Alpha vibes.
"Second—Lucas."Mina goes on."A sniper god. Even the world's top assassins respect him. One shot… one death."
I give Sakshi a sideways glance.A faint smirk curves her lips.Competition accepted.
"Third—Felix."Mina's voice sharpens."The biggest flirt. Plays games with his smile… but he's the most unpredictable. Even his flirting is a weapon."
At that exact moment, Felix flashes a smile at a waitress.Perfect timing.Danger wrapped in charm.
"Fourth—Noah."Mina says."Usually calm. Almost saint-like.But if anyone goes against Adrien—his leader—Noah turns into a monster. After that, there's no control."
My gaze lands on Noah.Calm posture. Soft eyes.But the energy around him… explosive.
"And last—Louis."Mina almost whispers."The hacker king. He knows the world's secrets—governments, mafias, the dark web. If data were currency, he'd already be a trillionaire."
My eyes narrow slightly.A hacker king?
Interesting…because the hacker queen is standing right here.
I take the final sip of my beer and place the glass on the counter.
"Girls," I say quietly,"Looks like Monaco gave us a proper welcome gift."
And this gift is anything but harmless.
