📖 My Secret Mafia Lover

Chapter 1: Enrolment, Secrets & Shadows

"Hey, Dani! Where are you? I’m already at the café," Tabby’s voice echoed through Daniell’s earpiece, cutting through the chaos of chattering students and smoothie blender noise.

Daniell took a quiet breath and tapped the tiny earbud beneath her sleek, straight hair.

“Walk straight. I’m behind the pillar—near the counter.”

Tabby followed the direction, her eyes scanning the crowd while dragging her backpack, letting out a dramatic sigh.

Daniell emerged from behind the pillar, arms crossed, leaning casually. The sky was bright, but Daniell’s eyes held storms.

“Found you, your highness.”

Tabby giggled and slapped Daniell’s shoulder.

“Sorry, babe! My car broke down again… You owe me Mixue for the stress.”

Daniell smirked lazily.

“You done registering?”

She shook her head.

Without another word, Tabby grabbed Daniell’s hand.

“Come on, Miss Mafia-in-Disguise. Let’s go register.”

🏩 UXKL University Lobby

The lobby of UXKL felt grand—high ceilings, soft marble floors, and too many strangers.

A male student approached them with a clipboard and glanced at Daniell a moment too long.

“This is the enrolment form. Submit it at the blue counter when done.”

Daniell took it silently.

Tabby noticed the stares.

Whispers floated in the air.

“Is she the new student?”

“She looks… different. Like someone important.”

“Did you see how she walks? Like she owns the place.”

Tabby rolled her eyes.

“If you knew who she really is… you wouldn’t even whisper.”

Daniell didn’t flinch. She was used to it.

The stares. The judgments. The unspoken fear.

.

But this time—she wasn’t here to inherit a throne.

She came to vanish. To hide.

From who she was.

And from what she’d lost

Their footsteps echoed gently as they walked toward the registration counter.

The UXKL lobby grew more crowded with new students—bright, noisy, full of colors.

But to Daniell, it all felt like a blur.

She didn’t care who was watching.

But she knew.

There was one stare that felt different.

Not just observing... but analyzing. Measuring. Remembering.

She turned her head slightly, her eyes scanning the room.

A few students flinched when their gaze met hers—sharp, unreadable, unblinking.

But one face in the back row... didn’t look away.

A boy.

Messy black hair. A white shirt layered under a gray hoodie.

Sitting still, a closed book in his hand.

But his eyes—were locked on Daniell.

She glanced sideways, heart tightening.

> “Why do I feel like I’ve seen those eyes before…?”

---

Tabby suddenly snapped her fingers.

“You done filling the form? You’re so slow, you know

Daniell had just submitted her form when a tall girl approached.

Blonde—clearly dyed—and wearing a lanyard that read “Aira Tan Sri Munawwar.”

Her eyes scanned Daniell from head to toe, her smirk sharp with arrogance.

> “You’re new here?” she said. “This form is for dorm registration.

Just… don’t bring any weird behavior to UXKL.

This place is for the well-mannered, not for… strays.”

Her voice oozed venom with every word.

Tabby raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

Before she could say more, Daniell gently placed a hand on her arm.

> “Don’t,” she said softly.

“But Dani—she just disrespected you in front of everyone. Let me—”

> “Don’t,” Daniell repeated, this time pulling Tabby slightly into her side like a shield she didn’t want to activate.

She took the dorm form without a word and calmly walked away, heading back toward the registration counter.

Aira narrowed her eyes, smirking still...

Completely unaware that she had just insulted the biggest shareholder of her father’s company.

🛞 Outside UXKL — Main Parking Lot

After the paperwork was done, Daniell pressed her car key.

Beep-beep.

A deep engine growl answered from the parking row.

A matte black Lamborghini Aventador flashed its lights.

Tabby’s jaw dropped.

> “YOU. DRIVE. WHAT.”

Daniell gave her signature smirk. “My car. Wanna ride or you calling a Grab scooter?”

“Wait—my car’s still at the workshop, remember?!”

“Exactly.

Night had fallen by the time they returned to campus.

Their stomachs were full. Daniell’s wallet, however, was not—emptied, thanks to a certain Kim Park Tabby who apparently had no concept of guilt.

> “Next time, don’t order steak that costs a CEO’s salary.

If you want Wagyu that badly, sell your sneakers,” Daniell muttered, dragging her suitcase up the dorm stairs.

Tabby only laughed.

> “Hellooo, you’re a shareholder. Your money multiplies while you sleep.”

🛏️ Inside Dorm – UXKL Elite Block

Their dorm room was spacious, luxurious, and clearly exclusive.

Only two people per room.

Pastel tones, soft lighting—it looked more like a boutique hotel than a student dorm.

> “Let’s decorate this like a gangster princess’s lair,” Tabby grinned, lining up fluffy pillows, LED lights, and her rows of perfume on the shelf.

Daniell sat calmly on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

But when she noticed Tabby suddenly rummaging through her bag in a panic, she raised a brow.

> “What now?”

> “I forgot to pack underwear! OMG—how could I forget—”

Before Tabby could spiral into chaos, Daniell tossed her a small white bag.

> “Here.”

Tabby blinked, took it, and slowly peeked inside… then froze.

Inside were several neatly folded pairs of brand-new underwear.

Soft. Pretty. The right size. Her size. Exactly.

> “HOW do you know my size??” Tabby gasped.

Daniell shrugged, unfazed.

> “Tabby... I’m twenty-three. I grew up with you.

From kindergarten, to primary school, to high school… now we’re even in the same campus and major.

You really think I wouldn’t know something that basic?”

Tabby flushed scarlet.

> “YOU PERVERT!” she screamed, grabbing a pillow and hurling it at Daniell.

> “It’s just facts,” Daniell replied coolly, dodging the pillow without effort.

> “Facts, my ass! What—have you been stalking me since I wore Barbie panties?!”

> “Yes. But now you wear satin lace. An upgrade.”

> “DANI!”

Daniell laid back on her bed, arms folded behind her head.

> “I remember everything about you.

Because… the only thing that’s never changed since we were kids…

was you.

It was just past 11:00 PM when Daniell received the message.

Her screen lit up with a name she recognized instantly:

Uncle Rico Ambrosio

> “Come now. Penthouse. It’s urgent. – R”

No greetings. No details.

That was Rico’s way. When he called, Daniell knew—this wasn’t something trivial.

🏎️ Lamborghini Aventador – Midnight Streets

The matte black Aventador roared down the quiet streets of Kuala Lumpur, splitting through the stillness like a warning shot.

The city was asleep—but Daniell’s mind wasn’t.
