Stefan Mafia Boss

The ballroom buzzed with shallow laughter and the clink of champagne glasses. Stefan stood by the bar, expression unreadable, watching the same faces circle like vultures in designer suits.

He hated these events.
Same people. Same lies. Same hunt for his attention.

“Stefan!” Senator Haynes’ booming voice drew his gaze. The man approached with his family in tow — wife, son, and daughter. Stefan sighed inwardly and straightened.

“Senator,” he greeted, voice smooth but detached.

“I’d like you to meet my family,” the senator said proudly, resting a hand on the shoulder of two strikingly different young adults. “My twins — Wade and Wanda.”

Stefan’s eyes flicked between them. Wade, tall and charming, carried an easy smile that came too naturally for this room. Wanda, on the other hand, was quiet — red waves cascading over pale shoulders, eyes bright with mischief and curiosity.

They couldn’t have looked more opposite, yet there was a shared sharpness in their gaze — a quiet intelligence that didn’t miss much.

“Twins,” Stefan murmured, the faintest smirk tugging at his mouth. “I wouldn’t have guessed.”

Wade grinned. “Most people don’t.” He offered a confident handshake. “Wade Haynes. The organized one.”

Stefan’s brow arched slightly. “Then that makes you—” he turned to Wanda “—the unpredictable one.”

Wanda met his stare without hesitation, her lips curving. “Maybe. Depends who’s asking.”

For the first time that evening, Stefan felt his composure waver — just slightly.
He wasn’t sure if it was her confidence… or the challenge behind her eyes.
