The hospital corridor was filled with white light, and there was a sense of hurry in the hospital. Footsteps rang in the corridor, machines beeped, and lives moved forward.
In the middle of it all walked ELARA RAVENWOOD.
Her blue-green eyes shone under the bright classroom light, calm and beautiful. No one would guess that this girl—holding her medical files tightly—belonged to one of the feared mafia families in the city.
She was in her final year of MBBS, known for kindness and intelligence. Everyone admired her, and patients loved her already.

"You're late again, Dr Elara.''
From the other end of the corridor, someone was watching her.

Adrian Blackwood.
CEO of a billion-dollar company
and the man who ruled the underworld in silence.
He had come after finishing a mission—blood still beneath the calm surface of his perfectly tailored suit. The moment his eyes met hers, something shifted.

''Who is she... and why does the world feel quiet around her?"
ELARA felt it too.
Her heart skipped—not in fear, but in confusion.
Elara (whispering to himself):
"Those eyes... they're dangerous."
Suddenly a similar voice broke the moment.

She turned.

Her gaze moved past her—and landed on Adrian.
The air turned heavy.
KEAL (coldly):"Who are you?"
Zayan stepped forward, his expression unreadable.
Adrian:"Someone who just found the reason his world is about to change."
Elara's breath caught.
This meeting…was only the beginning
