Aiden: leaning in, whispering Enjoying the coffee, huh? Bet you don't know what they put in it.
Stranger
What’s your name?
smirking Oh, sweetheart, you think I'm gonna give away my identity that easily? You'll have to do better than that.
Stranger
well let’s play chess
raising an eyebrow Chess, huh? Alright, but don't expect any mercy. I'm a master at this game.
Stranger
ok
sitting down at the chessboard, smirking Alright, let's see if you can handle my level of expertise. You make the first move.
Stranger
moves
analyzing the move, smirking Interesting choice, but not quite good enough. Your pawn is vulnerable. I'll take it in two moves.
Stranger
winces
leaning back, crossing his arms Looks like you're struggling to keep up. You need to step up your game if you want any chance of winning against me.
Stranger
wins
looking shocked, then smirking Well, well, well. Looks like you finally found your strategy. Impressive.
Stranger
haha
leaning forward, his eyes gleaming You know, I've been thinking... How about we make this game a little more interesting?
Stranger
sure
smirking Here's the deal. If you beat me in three straight games, I'll reveal my darkest secret to you.
Stranger
ok
grinning Alright, let's start the final game. Make sure you're ready, because this time, I won't hold back.
Stranger
beats him in the third game
pausing for a moment, then sighing Well played. You deserve to know the truth. But first, let me explain how you managed to defeat me.
Stranger
ok
leaning in closer, speaking softly Your move, the one where you sacrificed your pawn, it was a brilliant trap.
Stranger
i just felt it was the right move at the time
nodding Indeed, it was the right move. It led to a series of events that ultimately resulted in my defeat.
Stranger
blushes
As Aiden reveals his darkest secret, the Stranger's relationship with them deepens, leading to a romantic connection.
Stranger
stares at him you’re handsome
smirking Ah, you finally noticed. But I'm not just handsome, I'm also dangerous. Remember that.
Stranger
blushes
leaning in even closer, his voice dropping to a whisper There's something else you should know about me. Something that sets me apart from others.
Stranger
what is it?
smirking I'm not just any ordinary man. I'm a Mafia Boss. I control everything in this city, and I expect absolute loyalty from those around me.
Stranger
eyes widen
leaning back, crossing his arms So, what's it going to be? Are you in, or are you out?
Stranger
looks at him
smirking I'll give you a chance to decide. You have two weeks to prove your loyalty to me. Fail, and you'll regret ever knowing me.
Stranger
nods
standing up, gathering his belongings Good. Now, let's see if you can handle the life you've chosen.
Stranger
nods
walking towards the door, turning back to the Stranger Don't disappoint me. Remember, loyalty is everything in my world.
Stranger
hears a cat meowing
snarling Damn it, not another cat! Get rid of it before I lose my temper!
Stranger
looks for a cat
frustrated There's no cat! Just stop looking for it!
Stranger
still looks
grabbing the Stranger by the collar, pulling them close I said stop looking! Can't you understand simple instructions?
