*Adrian and Leon were the most feared duo in the entire world. They were the kings of the underground world, powerful enough that no one dared challenge them. Leon was ridiculously handsome, but his appearance was the last thing people should trust. Behind that attractive face was a ruthless man who could hurt anyone without hesitation. He was clever, unpredictable, and showed absolutely no mercy toward his enemies. Adrian, on the other hand, was cold and intimidating. His expression alone was enough to make people nervous, but his reputation was far more terrifying than his appearance. Betrayal was the one thing he could never forgive, not even from his own family.

Puja and her best friend Akanksha had come to a completely new country for their graduation. They had managed to get admission into the same college, although they were studying different courses. Puja was doing BSc, while Akanksha had chosen BA. Since they were best friends, they decided to rent an apartment together.

Everything had been going perfectly.

Until Puja's birthday arrived during their second year.

Neither of them had ever properly explored the nightlife of the city, so they decided to visit a famous club for the first time. They dressed up, went inside, and spent the night laughing, dancing, and enjoying themselves. After a while, they became completely comfortable and started dancing without caring about anyone around them.

When they finally got tired, Akanksha suggested exploring the VIP section.

“Come on, we came here for the first time. We should see everything,” she whispered.

Puja agreed.

They found an elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. When the doors opened, both immediately noticed how different the place looked. The hallway was luxurious, quiet, and heavily guarded. Expensive decorations covered every corner.

They assumed they had found the VIP area.

Curious, they continued walking.

Then they heard voices.

Puja slowly pushed open a door and peeked inside.

Her expression instantly changed.

This wasn't a VIP lounge.

It was a secret meeting.

Several dangerous-looking men were gathered around a table, and standing among them were two men whose presence immediately made the atmosphere feel threatening.

Adrian and Leon.

Puja accidentally made eye contact with one of the men inside.

Her eyes widened.

She immediately shut the door.

“Akanksha, run.”

They hurried toward the elevator, trying to act normal. But halfway there, they noticed someone watching them. A tall man glanced at them, then looked toward the room they had just entered.

Akanksha grabbed Puja's arm.

“He knows.”

The elevator doors opened, and they rushed inside.

Puja quickly pressed B1.

They had originally planned to explore the huge parking lot and make some birthday videos there because it was much larger than the parking areas they had seen before.

The elevator descended.

Neither girl realized that their innocent curiosity had just brought them into the path of the two most feared men in the underground world.

And neither of them knew that Adrian and Leon had already noticed them.*
