From simple farm life into a high-stakes city disaster. She was only looking for a dream—not a mobster with a leather jacket and a dangerous reputation.
Stella has never known anything beyond early mornings, open fields, and the steady quiet of her farm. But while saving a cat lands her on an express bus straight into the chaos of the city. Lost amid towering skyscrapers and people cussing, her simple trip turns unpredictable when she crosses paths with Mark. Intimidating, reckless, and a trouble, Mark is the exact kind of trouble Stella was raised to avoid.

Packed into 11 fast-paced chapters, this short story is a bite-sized, high-tension drama about small-town games, city chaos, fake trust, and unexpected events.
