Chapter 1: Foreign skies
The plane landed on Italy
Nandani Gupta
*texting her best friend, Meera* landed safely
Meera (Nandani best friend)
Aa aaaah! Welcome to Italy miss future surgeon! 😭❤️ How was the flight?
Nandani Gupta
Long. Turbulent. But ...... The view while landing ? Breathtaking
Meera (Nandani best friend)
Ughh jealous! Soo where are you now ?
Nandani Gupta
Just got off the plane. It's drizzling. Everything smell like coffee and rain
Meera (Nandani best friend)
Sounds romantic already 👀
Nandani Gupta
Stop. I'm here to study, not fall in love 🙄
Meera (Nandani best friend)
Yeah yeah. Just don't accidentally marry a mafia boss or something
Nandani Gupta
LOL, what even 😆
Nandani paused to take in her surroundings. Her suitcase bumps over the cobbled walkway outside the terminal. A black luxury car rushes past, splashing a bit of rainwater nearby
Nandani Gupta
*thinking* Italy already feel like a movie scene. Everything is so ....... Old and beautiful.
Airport announcer (in italian): Benvenuti a Milano....
Nandani Gupta

Meera (Nandani best friend)

Nandani Gupta
As if I would

There's been movement near the docks. Orders?
Alex Romano
*typing* Stay hidden. I'll handle it.
He walks towards the window, lighting a ciggerate. Rain streaks down the glass. His eyes are cold. Distant. Dangerous.
Alex Romano
*thinking* Another war is coming. I can feel it
Back to lily, inside her cab, staring out at the rain-soaked streets of Milan. Her expression is calm....unaware of what's waiting for her in this city of secrets
