ch 4

...First Day of College...

The trio arrived at the prestigious Amberleaf Academy, their imposing presence turning heads the moment they stepped out of their sleek black car. Seraphina led the way, her every step exuding confidence and authority. Aria walked beside her, smiling brightly at the curious onlookers, while Vesper trailed behind, her smirk daring anyone to cross her.

The three girls, known as mafia royalty in the underworld, now stood in the middle of a bustling college campus. Their mission was clear: find their assigned fiancés and ensure their safety. But none of them were thrilled about blending into a world of textbooks and lectures.

...Seraphina’s Warning...

As they reached their designated dorm building, Seraphina stopped abruptly, turning to face Aria and Vesper. Her crimson eyes pierced through them.

“This isn’t just a game,” she said, her tone cold and authoritative. “We’re here for one reason—to protect the targets. No distractions, no unnecessary violence.”

Vesper chuckled, leaning lazily against the wall. “Define ‘unnecessary.’ You know I can’t promise anything if someone tests me.”

Aria placed a gentle hand on Vesper’s shoulder, her cheerful tone softening the tension. “Relax, Ves. We’ll keep it low-key. Right?”

Vesper shrugged but grinned. “Sure. For now.”

Seraphina’s eyes narrowed. “Good. Because if you mess this up, you’ll answer to me.”

...Meeting Their Fiancés...

The trio walked into the grand auditorium for orientation, scanning the crowd for their supposed fiancés. It didn’t take long for them to find them—three boys seated near the front, their presence drawing attention just as much as the girls’.

Liam – A quiet, studious type with glasses and a reserved demeanor. He noticed Seraphina first, his eyes widening slightly as their gazes met. Something about her unnerved him, but he couldn’t look away.

Ethan – A cheerful, sporty boy who was chatting animatedly with his friends. When he saw Aria, his smile widened, as if he recognized her from somewhere.

Damon – The rebel, with messy hair and a cocky grin. He leaned back in his chair, sizing up Vesper with interest when he caught her staring at him. “Looks like trouble just walked in,” he muttered to himself.

...First Encounter...

As the orientation ended, the girls approached their fiancés. Seraphina wasted no time, standing tall in front of Liam. “We need to talk.”

Liam stammered, his confidence wilting under her intense stare. “Uh… sure. About what?”

“Your life,” Seraphina replied bluntly. “It’s in danger.”

Meanwhile, Aria greeted Ethan with her usual cheerfulness. “Hi there! You must be Ethan. Looks like we’re going to be spending a lot of time together!”

Ethan grinned. “Sounds great. But why do I feel like there’s more to this than just getting to know each other?”

Behind them, Vesper leaned casually against the wall, her eyes locked on Damon. “So, you’re mine, huh?”

Damon smirked, unfazed by her intensity. “Depends. You planning to keep me alive or kill me yourself?”

Vesper grinned wickedly. “That depends on how entertaining you are.”

...The Mission Begins...

As the trio walked away with their fiancés, Seraphina glanced back at her companions. “Stay sharp. This place might seem safe, but it’s anything but. Our enemies are everywhere, and they won’t hesitate to strike.”

Aria gave a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Sera. We’ve got this.”

Vesper cracked her knuckles, her grin widening. “Let them come. I’m itching for some fun.”

Seraphina sighed but said nothing. The battlefield might have changed, but the stakes remained the same. And she wouldn’t let anyone stand in their way.
