I Saw the Mafia Boss Pledge His Heart to Someone ElseChapter 1

It was my birthday, and Kael had sworn on his honor as Don that he would return early, that we would mark the night together. Yet he called in the afternoon, voice steady as ever, claiming a sudden engagement with the family’s business had detained him. I trusted him, the unspoken bonds of our crew echoing in my mind, and still I waited, heart lifting at the thought of sharing the evening with him.

I should have known better. His “engagement” wasn’t with the family ledger or the operations—it was with Via, his childhood companion, and together they laughed beneath the city’s neon glow, sparks of intimacy lighting their faces like fireworks against the night sky.

How cruelly ironic it felt.

I pictured him as if watching from a distance: his sharp, controlled expression, usually so unreadable, now softened with laughter, eyes tender as they rested on her. That was a gaze I had never received, a warmth I had never been allowed. Until now, I had assumed his aloofness was just who he was, a permanent shadow cast over any affection I might have claimed.
