The Boss's Princess

The Birthday That Changed Everything

Episode 3 – The Birthday That Changed Everything

The sky burned gold and pink over the Monteverde estate. Cars lined the driveway, glittering under the last rays of the sun. Guests in elegant gowns and sharp tuxedos spilled from limousines, welcomed by the faint echo of violins and the scent of roses.

It was Kiara Monteverde’s eighteenth birthday—the night that would change everything.

Inside, chandeliers gleamed over a ballroom transformed into a dream. Crystal glasses sparkled, tables overflowed with flowers, and a massive cake stood like a monument to perfection.

Kiara stood before her mirror upstairs, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted her silver dress. It shimmered against her skin, flowing down like liquid light.

“You can do this,” she whispered to herself.

She was nervous—but for once, it wasn’t about school bullies or rumors. It was about what she’d heard from her father’s office two nights ago.

Those words—weapons, buyers, no police interference—kept echoing.

And worse, the strange text message: “Be careful who you trust, Princess.”

She didn’t know who sent it. But she felt eyes watching her, even now.

Downstairs, Señor Alejandro Monteverde greeted guests with practiced warmth. His smile was perfect, his tone friendly—but the men standing discreetly along the walls told another story. They weren’t waiters. They were guards, dressed like guests but carrying the quiet tension of trained fighters.

His right-hand man, Santiago, leaned closer.

“Sir, all security points are in place. The guests have been screened.”

Alejandro nodded. “Good. Keep an eye on anyone who looks out of place. Tonight is for Kiara—but no mistakes.”

“Yes, boss.”

Boss.

That single word, spoken softly, carried power like a gunshot.

At the university earlier that day, Lance had received a message too.

It was from his handler.

“Tonight, Monteverde’s party. You’re invited. Keep your cover.

We suspect an enemy faction might strike.”

Lance had stared at the message for a long time.

He wasn’t just an ordinary student.

He was undercover, sent to monitor Alejandro Monteverde’s operations for an international agency.

And somehow, in the middle of it all, he’d fallen for the boss’s daughter.

Now, he had no idea how to protect her without revealing everything.
