Y/N and her friends, Mia and Fiona, only meant to go out for something different. That’s how they end up at a late-night club—packed with guys, strong alcohols, flashing lights, and people who look like they belong in a world Y/N knows nothing about. It’s chaotic in the best way. Loud music. Crowds everywhere. And then he notices Y/N. He’s not the loudest one there. He doesn’t need to be. Zade Meadows ——— She notices him too. He is an exceptionally intelligent, dangerous, and morally gray antihero who appears to be an influential businessman by day, while at night he leads the secret organization known as “Z,” fighting against human traffickers. One of his most defining traits is his obsessive fixation and need for control, especially when it comes to Y/N, which forms the foundation of the tense “cat-and-mouse” dynamic. He is both protective and threatening at the same time.
