Daniel stepped into the room, his gaze landing on Eve sitting silently at the edge of the bed. Ito was fast asleep, his head resting on her lap. Her hand was tightly wrapped around the gun, knuckles pale—but the moment her eyes met his, her grip loosened, shoulders relaxing ever so slightly.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Now it's my turn to sleep [he muttered, casually pushing Ito’s head off her lap. Without waiting for a response, he rested his own head there instead, looking up at her with a lazy smirk.]
Ito (Eve's brother)
[Ito rubbed his eyes, still drowsy, but said nothing. His gaze shifted to Eve—he could see the disappointment in her eyes, the silent weight she carried after Daniel had forced her to hurt someone without reason.]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Eve, we’ll be staying here for a while [Daniel said, his tone firm. His eyes narrowed slightly.] Did that bastard bother you?
Eve (Female lead)
[She knew exactly who he meant.] No... Lucas didn’t come here, and I haven’t heard his voice. [Her tone was low, but steady.] But... I don’t want to stay here, Daniel. Let’s go somewhere else. And before we leave... I want to see that maid.
