Chapter Two: First Sparks & Dangerous Glances

Daisy’s POV

I could feel it immediately — the air around Alessandro and Ian was… charged. Dangerous. Like static before a thunderstorm. And I, naturally, was the lightning rod.

“Don’t look so scared,” I teased Ian as I guided him toward my brother. “He’s only slightly homicidal tonight.”

Ian’s jaw tightened. “You love this, don’t you?”

“Oh, adore it,” I said, grinning. “But seriously… just be yourself. Don’t—don’t do anything stupid.”

Yeah, easier said than done when my brother was standing there, hands in his pockets, watching Ian like he was a puzzle to solve. I wanted to laugh, and I wanted to hide him at the same time. Because Alessandro’s kind of attention? It wasn’t safe.

“Alessandro,” I said, the word rolling off my tongue like I was announcing royalty. “This is Ian. My best friend. Don’t scare him… much.”

Alessandro’s eyes flicked to Ian again, slow, measured, analyzing every little movement. I could tell Ian was squirming. And secretly, I was loving it — the chaos was just beginning.

Ian’s POV

Oh, God. Why was she smiling like this was a game? Because it was, wasn’t it? A game I didn’t know the rules to, but the stakes were terrifyingly high.

Alessandro’s eyes didn’t leave me. They measured me. Judged me. And yet… there was something in them — not exactly warmth, not exactly danger, but a pull I couldn’t deny.

I opened my mouth to speak. Nothing came out. Typical Ian, really — paralyzed by a man in a suit who could probably kill me with one finger if he wanted.

“Relax,” Daisy whispered beside me. “He’s dangerous, yes… but you’ll survive. Probably.”

I gave her the faintest glare. “Thanks for the pep talk.”

Alessandro’s lips quirked, almost imperceptibly. “You’re braver than you look,” he said, voice low and smooth. It made my chest tighten. And then he did something that I didn’t expect. He extended his hand. Not in threat, not in dominance… but in some weird, unspoken truce.

I took it. And in that moment, I knew nothing would ever be simple again.

Daisy’s POV

I almost rolled my eyes. They were like two magnets snapping together. And me? I was the chaos in the middle, watching my best friend and my brother dance around a fire they didn’t know would burn them.

Oh, this was going to be fun.
