"Condition?!" Emily was perplexed. She knew nothing in this world came for free, but the thought of what Matteo Vinci might want terrified her.

His connections were powerful. He was best friends with Alessandro Valentino, one of the most dangerous. men around, and he worked for him too. Although Emily didn't know Alessandro's true identity, she had her suspicions. Men like him didn't just kill without consequences unless they had serious power-either the police or the mafia.

She nervously licked her lips, her heart pounding so loudly. "What do you want, Mr. Vinci?" she asked, trying to steady her voice.

Matteo's smile softened as he looked at her, his eyes lingering.

"A date with you," he whispered seductively, making Emily wonder if she was hearing things.

"What did you just say?" she asked in disbelief.

"I said I want you to go on a date with me. Time and place-your choice," Matteo rephrased his proposition.

"A date?" she repeated, still in disbelief.

""Yes," Matteo confirmed.

"That's... all?" she asked, furrowing skeptically.

"Yeah, a date is all I want. In exchange, I'll take your case and represent you in court, until you win against your evil ex-husband. No payment," Matteo said calmly as if this arrangement were the most ordinary thing in the world.

She glanced at Matteo from the corner of her eye, searching for any sign of mockery or deception, but he remained

knew her parents would finally get justice, and their murderer would be punished. Otherwise, she had tried countless times before. With the money and power her ex-husband wielded, he had either forced her attorneys to drop the case or had them killed. She didn't want to reveal this to Matteo just yet. What if he got scared and abandoned her case too? Still, a date with the notorious playboy attorney didn't seem like a bad idea. She could do this, at least for her late parents. They deserved peace, and she wouldn't rest until their murderer was behind bars, facing a death sentence.

Matteo stood close to Emily, his eyes locked on her. Emily felt her thoughts suddenly go blank. In the confined space of the elevator, the manly scent of the gorgeous man- tinged with a hint of spice and wood-overwhelmed her senses.
