Chapter 3:A Dangerous Deal
360 Words
Aria’s heart raced the moment Damien Voss walked into the café.
The room became unusually quiet. Conversations slowed, and people turned their attention toward the man who carried an unmistakable air of authority. He didn’t need to announce himself; his presence alone was enough to make everyone notice.
Aria tried to focus on her work, hoping he wouldn’t recognize her. But the moment their eyes met, she knew she wasn’t going unnoticed.
“Miss Aria,” Damien said calmly.
She froze.
“You remember my name?” she asked, surprised.
A small, unreadable expression crossed his face. “I remember everything that interests me.”
His words made her uncomfortable. There was something about him that felt powerful yet impossible to understand.
Damien placed a folder on the table and looked at her seriously.
“I need your help.”
Aria frowned. “My help? I don’t think someone like you needs anything from someone like me.”
“People often underestimate what they are capable of,” he replied.
She looked at the folder but didn’t touch it. “What exactly is this about?”
Damien remained silent for a moment before answering. “A business arrangement.”
Aria almost laughed. “And why would I be involved in a billionaire’s business?”
“Because you were in the wrong place at the right time,” he said.
His answer only confused her more.
Damien explained that he needed someone trustworthy for a simple task involving his company. Someone who wasn’t connected to his world. Someone who could not be easily influenced by money or power.
Aria immediately wanted to refuse.
She knew nothing about business deals, and she definitely knew nothing about men like Damien Voss.
But as she looked into his eyes, she sensed there was more behind his request. This wasn’t just a business matter.
It was connected to something dangerous.
“Think carefully before you say yes,” Damien warned. “Once you enter my world, things will never be the same.”
Aria looked at the folder in front of her.
She didn’t know it yet, but this decision would change her life forever.
