Chapter 1: The Devil in Black (Part 1)

The first day at Westbridge University was supposed to be the beginning of a normal life for subho a 19-year-old scholarship student who wanted nothing more than to graduate, support his younger sister, and leave his painful past behind.

But fate had other plans.

Rumors spread through the campus like wildfire.

"Don't make eye contact with him."

"He's dangerous."

"People disappear after crossing him."

Nobody dared say his name loudly.

Then subhoo saw him.

A tall man dressed entirely in black stepped out of a luxury car surrounded by armed bodyguards. His cold grey eyes held no emotion, yet everyone moved out of his way.

Damien Valentino

Officially, he was a final-year business student.

Unofficially, he was the heir to the most feared mafia family in the country.

Girls admired him.

Boys feared him.

Teachers ignored the rules when it came to him.

subho rolled his eyes.

"Just another spoiled rich guy."

That single thought changed his life forever.

 

Later that afternoon, Ethan accidentally bumped into Damien in the library.

Books fell to the floor.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone expected Ethan to apologize.

Instead, he looked Damien straight in the eyes.

"I'm not scared of you."

A dangerous smile appeared on Damien's lips.

"No one has talked to me like that before.

subho up his books.

"Then today is your lucky day."

He walked away.

For the first time in years...

Damien Valentino laughed.

Not because it was funny.

Because he had finally found someone who wasn't afraid of the monster.

He whispered,

"Interesting..."👀✨

As Subho walked out of the university gate, the evening sky had already turned dark. A cool breeze swept through the nearly empty streets.✨

He adjusted the strap of his backpack and headed toward the bus stop, unaware that a black SUV was moving slowly a short distance behind him.

Inside the vehicle, a man spoke into a small earpiece.

"Target has left the campus."

Another voice replied,

"Keep your distance. Don't let him notice."

The SUV continued to follow.👀

A few minutes later, Subho stopped at a small roadside café to buy a cup of coffee. When he looked up, he noticed the same black SUV parked across the street.

A strange feeling crept into his mind.

"Am I just imagining things?"✨

He shook his head and continued walking.

At that very moment, from the top floor of a nearby building, Damien watched everything in silence.

Luca stepped beside him.✨

"Should we intervene?"

Damien kept his eyes fixed on Subho.

"Not yet."✨👀

"They're getting closer."

"I know."💖

For the first time, Damien's calm expression changed. His gaze hardened, as if he recognized the danger before anyone else.

Far below, Subho's phone suddenly buzzed.

He frowned at the unknown number and opened the message.✨👀

> "Stay away from Damien Valentino... unless you're ready to lose everything."

Before he could react, the message disappeared from his screen.

Subho looked around.

The street was crowded.✨

But it felt as though someone was watching his every move.

A faint smile appeared on Damien's face as he whispered to himself,

"The game has already begun."👀✨
