Dr. Lia [Surname] Moretti Age: Late 20s to early 30s Profession: Former university professor in plant and human biology | Current mafia consultant (reluctantly) Aliases: “The Sleeping Blade,” “Hazard,” “Dante’s War Pet” (internally, by guards)

🖤 Physical Appearance Lia has the kind of beauty that doesn’t beg for attention—it demands it by accident. Pale, unbothered skin like porcelain that forgot to crack. Eyes: Sharp, glassy—somewhere between exhaustion and genius. They linger a second too long, as if always calculating how you’d look under a microscope. Hair: Usually messy in an elegant way, often tied up carelessly with a pen or falling in silky waves, as if time betrayed her again. Lips: Always a little chapped, often curled in either mild amusement or existential dread. Voice: Calm. Flat. Soothing in a way that makes even her threats feel like lullabies.

She wears whatever’s within arm’s reach—lab coats, silk robes, backless dresses, or Dante’s oversized shirt. Always barefoot if she can help it.

🧠 Personality Lethally intelligent but entirely uninterested in proving it unless provoked.

Lazy by principle, not by ability—she could burn kingdoms but would rather nap.

Deeply sarcastic, frighteningly calm under pressure. Treats danger like a mild inconvenience.

Emotionally unpredictable. May dissect a flower or a man—depends on her sleep cycle.

Soft for Dante only when no one's watching.

Fascinated by violence in the abstract, but too lazy to commit to drama unless it’s necessary.

🩸 Skills Top-tier knowledge in biology (human and botanical), poison identification, and psychological manipulation.

Can bluff her way through espionage with a smile and zero effort.

Looks harmless. Is not.

Makes chaos look like art.

The evening sky was steel grey, clouds hanging low over the looming silhouette of the Moretti estate. The air was thick with silence—too perfect, too manicured—as if it, too, had been bought and silenced.

Inside, candlelight flickered along the edge of a long oak table. At one end, a man in a sharp three-piece suit leaned back in his chair, the glow catching on the cold metal of his signet ring. His jaw was razor-sharp, his expression unreadable. Dante Moretti. Head of the Moretti syndicate. A man whispered about in back-alley clubs and courtroom halls alike.

And on the other end of the table—her.

Not in an evening gown. Not trembling. Not submissive.

Still dressed from her late afternoon lecture, her hair hastily pinned up, a laptop bag slung off one shoulder. she had walked into the lion’s den with spine straight, chin high—her family’s betrayal still ringing in her ears.

A thick folder lay between her and the devil. The contract.

Dante’s voice broke the silence first—low and deliberate, like a man who never rushed unless it was to kill.

He didn’t say it as a question. He never asked. He commanded.

He stood slowly, each motion predatory. His eyes skimmed her form, unreadable.

He stepped closer, until only the contract separated them both.

Dante’s eyes narrowed slightly as she signed—no hesitation, no tears, just that cool, measured grace.

He didn’t move for a moment. As if testing her. Gauging whether this was defiance… or strategy.

Then slowly, he leaned in, his hands pressing flat on the table, face coming close to yours—close enough for her to catch the faint scent of his cologne: smoke and leather and something darker beneath.

He reached for the contract and folded it carefully, sliding it into his coat.

He straightened, adjusting his cuffs.

He turned, walking toward the door without another word—already dismissing her like a signed document.

A man in black stepped forward from the shadows near the doorway. Silent. Waiting to escort her.

~to be continued~

The guard blinked, surprised by her tone. Clearly, they expected tears or defiance—not… cheerfulness.

He stepped aside, giving her space as she walked confidently out of the room—her heels echoing against polished marble floors that had seen more blood than wine.

The corridor was long, walls lined with ancestral portraits—Moretti men who stared down with the same cold eyes as Dante. As she passed, servants quickly lowered their gazes. Whispers stirred behind doors already closing.

Outside, a black luxury car waited by the circular drive, engine humming low like a beast being held back. The man standing beside the door opened it without a word.

Inside the car: the interior smelled like new leather and money.

And seated at the far end of the seat, leg crossed, already sipping dark liquor from a glass tumbler—Dante.

He looked at her—not surprised.

He reached into his coat and pulled out a single black box—square, elegant. He tossed it toward her.

The box snapped open with a soft click.

Inside lay a ring—bold, custom-forged. Not dainty, not delicate. A single dark sapphire rested in the center, surrounded by a faint halo of blood-red rubies. It wasn't beautiful in a traditional sense. It was bold. Unapologetic. Like him.

And now—like her.

Dante watched her reaction closely, his voice low, mocking.

He swirled the liquor in his glass, then set it down with a faint clink.

He leaned forward now, elbows resting on his knees, eyes locked on hers.

Put her hand outside the window feeling the rain.

Dante watched in silence. Not the way a man watches a wife.The way a predator watches something he doesn’t understand

Rain tapped against the windows in delicate rhythms as her hand reached out—sapphire flashing under gray skies. she hummed like the storm was hers to command, unbothered by him, untouched by the tension that suffocated most in his presence.

He hated how much it unsettled him.

He leaned back, eyes on the road as the estate gates rolled open in the distance.

A pause.

He laughed, cold and low.

The car began its slow ascent up the long drive toward a vast estate cloaked in rain and old secrets.

The mansion loomed closer. The gate closed behind her.

Dante blinked—just once. The car hadn’t even stopped yet, and she was asking about the garden.

Not about the terms of the contract. Not about where you’d sleep. Not even if he’d hurt her.

She was asking about flowers.

He tilted his glass, smirking faintly.

The car came to a stop under the estate’s grand stone archway. A servant quickly opened the door, umbrella in hand.

He extended a hand—not out of chivalry, but control.

Rain misted off her shoulders as she stepped out, fingers laced behind her, twirling like she was walking through a museum—

—not a fortress with security cameras in every hall and men who killed without blinking.

The household staff looked away quickly, unsure whether to fear or pity her.
