Suddenly, Alia met her friends. They greeted each other warmly, and Alia sent her car for repairs. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Do any of you have boyfriends? Or do you only go for handsome and stylish ones?"
Her friends looked surprised. "Why? Is there someone? Do you need one?"
Alia smirked. "Wouldn't you like one as a bodyguard?"
Her friends remained silent for a moment. Then one of them finally said, "Alright, no problem."
One of the girls took a bike key from her bag and handed it to Alia.
Surprised, Alia asked, "You carry a bike key with you? I need to go home."
The girl smiled and replied, "Of course, take it."
Alia hopped onto the bike and rode off. She controlled the streets like they belonged to her, weaving through traffic effortlessly. Pedestrians and drivers alike watched in awe as she maneuvered the bike with skill and confidence.
However, as she rode, she noticed something strange-a man was following her. His face was unclear, but his movements and behavior seemed suspicious. At first, she ignored it, but an unsettling feeling lingered in her mind. Still, she stayed on course and eventually reached home safely.
As soon as she arrived, she noticed an unfamiliar man standing nearby. He had the aura of someone from the mafia. Alia immediately became alert. As he walked toward her, she raised her voice, "Why are you here?"
The man smirked. "I came to see you. You have somewhere to be."
Alia frowned. "Where do I need to go?"
The mafia man spoke seriously, "There's a party tonight. Aren't you coming?"
Alia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll go."
The man stepped back but smirked before leaving. Alia watched him go with a hint of amusement. "A party! You guys only know how to put on cheap dramas."
The mafia man tensed but didn't respond. Instead, he walked away as Alia continued smirking behind him.

That night, Alia arrived at the party with her four bodyguards and even brought one of her friends' attractive bodyguards along. The moment she stepped in, the entire room went silent. Her presence commanded attention-her elegance, her confidence, and her striking beauty lit up the room.
The mafia man who had invited her was left speechless. He had expected her, but not like this. Now, he realized Alia was far more than he had imagined.
Meanwhile, the police officer from the previous day-Viktor-was also there. Seeing Alia again, his eyes filled with suspicion. He remembered how she had arrogantly thrown away the penalty slip and driven off. But now, seeing her in this form, he hesitated to say anything.
The mafia man was mesmerized. He watched her intently, his thoughts racing. "This girl is something else. Soon, the whole city will be chasing after her."
A smirk played on his lips as he stepped forward. "You have quite an interesting business, don't you?"
Alia met his gaze without flinching. "Yes, my family has a business. Why? Do you have something to say?"
The mafia man's expression darkened. "You need to sell that business to us. If you don't cooperate, it won't end well for you."
Alia chuckled. "I know it belongs to my ancestors. But it's my family's legacy. I can't just hand it over to you. Why do you want it so badly?"
The mafia man's gaze turned cold. "Then you don't understand what's coming for you."
Alia's eyes gleamed dangerously. "Do whatever you want. But remember, it won't end in your favor."
At that moment, the mafia man gave a subtle signal. Instantly, his men, who had been lurking in the crowd, began moving toward Alia. But she was ready. It was as if she had anticipated this all along.
With a swift motion, she turned and launched a precise attack. Her bodyguards followed suit, and within seconds, the entire party turned into chaos. Alia fought with such skill and precision that it left everyone stunned. No one could predict her movements-where she would strike, how fast she would react. She moved like a trained warrior.
The guests stood frozen, watching in shock. No one had expected this from her. But the one most affected was Viktor.
He had followed her the previous day, thinking she was just a reckless girl. But now, seeing her fight, his mind raced.
"I never expected this," he thought, watching her with growing intrigue.
For the first time, he realized-Alia was far from ordinary. She was something else. A mystery he had yet to uncover.
