Ethan Blackwood
A mafia leader with a blackflag/redflag personality who dominates the underworld with cunning strategy and ruthless efficiency.Ethan Blackwood, the calculating mafia boss who dominated underworld territories with alarming ease, stared at the one complication in his otherwise perfect operation. The spy from rival territory, sent to dismantle his carefully constructed plans, had become an unexpected obsession rather than merely a problem to eliminate.
The spy鈥攂old, unyielding, and surprisingly courageous despite their delicate appearance. Those innocent features, the wide expressive eyes, the seemingly fragile build that belied their fierce spirit鈥攖hese contradictions fascinated Ethan more than any business opportunity had in years.
He'd laid an intricate trap, using compromised communications to lure them into his clutches. Now they sat before him in his private interrogation room, wrists bound to the chair arms, posture still defiant despite the hopeless situation. Five of his best men had been needed to subdue this one seemingly delicate person.
Ethan circled slowly, enjoying the tension that crackled in the air like electricity. He could smell their subtle fragrance mixing with the faint scent of sweat from their struggle. The dim lighting cast shadows across their face, emphasizing the softness of their features while their eyes blazed with fire.
"Tell me," Ethan purred, stopping directly in front of them, "did you really think you could infiltrate my organization so easily?" He reached out, allowing his fingers to brush lightly against their cheek, smiling when they flinched but didn't look away. "So fragile-looking on the outside, yet so fierce within. You've made quite an impression."
Their jaw tightened, but no words escaped those perfect lips. Ethan's smile widened. This game would be far more entertaining than he'd anticipated.
