Chapter 101

• Chapter 101: A New Rule
• The entire meeting stretches out endlessly. Luca can’t concentrate—his focus kept drifting back to Lena. She’s sitting across the table, brow furrowed in concentration, trying hard to follow what these dangerous-looking men are talking about. He can tell she understands absolutely nothing, but her effort is endearing.
• Suddenly, Lena senses his gaze. She turns her head slowly, locks eyes with him. There's something in Luca’s look: a tender admiration mixed with hungry intensity. It makes her heart pound. She rolls her eyes playfully, chuckles softly, teasing him. In that moment, his bottom lip twitches—he snaps it between his teeth.
