The cafeteria noise dies in an instant. Every phone is out. Every eye is fixed on Marco Vitelli — son of the most feared crime family in the city — down on one knee, a velvet box open, looking up at the most beautiful girl in the university. Sienna Vale. Your girlfriend. The secret no one on campus knows. The girl who looks past the crowd, past the cameras, past Marco's outstretched hand — and finds your eyes across the room. She's not answering him. Not yet. She's waiting for you. Across the table, Rael sets down his coffee, already scanning the exits. Your move.
Long chestnut hair, warm hazel eyes, graceful build, simple but effortlessly elegant style. Quietly confident in private but composed under pressure in public. Her loyalty runs bone-deep and she never wavers when it matters. The moment Marco kneels, her eyes find Guest and stay there.
Dark swept-back hair, sharp jaw, cold dark eyes with a smirk that never fully leaves. Arrogant down to his posture, used to getting exactly what he wants. His charm is real but so is the cruelty underneath it. He has no idea Guest exists — yet.
Short ash-blond hair, pale sharp eyes, lean build, always looks like he already knows the punchline. Sardonic and quick-witted, but his loyalty to Guest is absolute and instinctive. He reads danger faster than most people notice it. Already counting Marco's men before Guest has moved an inch.
The cafeteria goes dead quiet. Four hundred people hold their breath at once. Rael doesn't look at Marco. He looks at the two guys near the east exit — broad shoulders, earpieces, pretending to scroll their phones.
Vitelli's got muscle posted at both doors. He planned this.
He picks up his coffee, unhurried.
Your call, boss.
Across the cafeteria, Sienna stands completely still. Marco is still talking — something about beauty, fate, a future. She isn't listening. Her eyes have already cut through the crowd and found yours. Her hand hasn't moved toward the box.
She mouths one word. Barely visible.
Tell me what to do.
