31 OMG A Waitress Took $10,000 to Kiss the Most Dangerous Mafia Boss at the Gala—Then He Learned She Was Saving Her Little Sister

Three days later, a private luxury van pulled into the estate courtyard. Out stepped Dr. Julian Evans, the top pediatric orthodontist in the country, accompanied by his specialized medical team and portable equipment.

Mila sat nervously in the mansion’s sunroom, holding Ava’s hand tightly as Dr. Evans set up his chair.

"Is it going to hurt?" Mila asked softly, hiding her face against Ava’s side.

"Not at all, little princess," Dr. Evans smiled gently. "Mr. Moretti has requested the finest invisible aligners and dental corrections available. In just a few short months, you'll have a smile fit for royalty."

Ava watched from the corner of the room as the medical team worked efficiently. Standing near the window, dressed in a sharp dark suit, was Matteo. He was quietly reading over legal documents, but his eyes constantly drifted toward Mila, ensuring she was comfortable.

Tears welled in Ava’s eyes. She walked over to him, her voice choked with emotion. "You didn't have to do this. The dental treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars..."

"Ten thousand dollars was the price of your dignity at that gala," Matteo said, keeping his eyes on his papers. "I am simply restoring what was stolen from you."

"Why are you being so good to us?" Ava asked softly. "Everyone says you're a monster, a cold-blooded killer..."

Matteo paused, slowly turning to look at her. "I am a killer, Ava. I rule a world where mercy is seen as weakness. But my father was betrayed when I was twelve years old. I watched my family lose everything because no one stood up for them. When I look at you fighting for your sister, I see the loyalty this city lacks."

Ava looked into his dark eyes, sensing the deep pain hidden beneath his cold exterior. Without thinking, she reached out and rested her hand gently on his forearm.

"You aren't a monster to us, Matteo," she murmured.

Matteo stared down at her small hand on his arm. For a second, the dangerous syndicate leader seemed completely paralyzed by her touch.

Suddenly, the heavy glass windows of the sunroom shattered into a million sharp pieces!
