Dangerous Embrace: Golden Cage
Chapter 1: An Unlikely Collision
A bustling New York City street, near Central Park
Liam
(Typing furiously) Everything secured for tonight, Marco? No loose ends.
Marco
(Typing back) All clear, boss. The intel's solid. They won't know what hit them.
Isabella
(On her phone, humming a tune as she walks, not looking up) Oh, this podcast is so good! The host just made the funniest… OOF!
His phone clatters to the ground. He glares, his eyes like chips of ice, at the figure who just stumbled into him.
Liam
Watch where you're going!
Isabella
(Rubbing her forehead, her eyes wide and apologetic as she looks up at the tall, intimidating man.) Oh my goodness, I am so incredibly sorry! I was completely engrossed in my podcast. Are you alright? I can help you pick up your phone!
Liam observing her, noting her wide, innocent eyes, the simple floral dress, and the genuine concern on her face. His usual scowl softens almost imperceptibly.
Liam
No need. Just… be more careful next time.
Isabella
(Bending down to retrieve his phone, her fingers brushing against his as she hands it to him.) Again, I'm truly sorry. It was entirely my fault. I'm Isabella, by the way.
Liam taking his phone, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary. He sees the faint blush on her cheeks, the way her hair catches the sunlight. He almost tells her his name, then catches himself.
Isabella
(A little taken aback by his abruptness, but still smiling slightly.)
Isabella
Okay. Well, have a good day.
Isabella
(She hurries off, glancing back once, a small frown creasing her brow.)
Watches her go, a strange, unfamiliar sensation stirring within him. He picks up his pace, but his thoughts are no longer solely on the night's operation.
Liam
Marco, find out everything about a girl named Isabella. White floral dress, clumsy. Now
