Underworld Sovereign

Sephie's ordinary life is about to collide with the dangerous world hidden beneath the city's glittering surface in this thrilling **romance**. The insistent buzz of her alarm clock drags Sephie from sleep, signaling another day of pouring coffee and memorizing orders at the local restaurant. Another day closer to saving enough money to escape her current life. Her kindly neighbor, Mr. Turner, always ready with a pep talk and a promise of finding her the perfect man, reminds her of the simple joys of her ordinary existence. Little does he know, her life is anything but. Her work at a bustling restaurant is her key to a brighter future, but it also throws her into the path of the city’s most powerful and dangerous figures. Today is the last Thursday of the month, a day steeped in dread, when the city's underworld elite descend upon the restaurant for their clandestine meeting. Sephie has become the server of choice for these notorious figures because of her sharp memory and keen attention to detail. Amongst the usual faces, she discovers that the infamous Lord King Boss, the highest authority in the city's criminal network, will be in attendance. Sephie understands the gravity of the evening. Max, the charming bartender and resident flirt, provides a moment of levity, teasing her about her ability to remain centered amidst the impending chaos. But beneath the playful banter lies a shared understanding of the volatile atmosphere. As the crime bosses arrive with their entourages, the air crackles with tension. Sephie navigates the room with practiced grace, serving drinks and delivering appetizers while discreetly observing the power dynamics at play. The sons of mafia bosses are especially infuriating with their entitlement, flaunting their wealth and privilege. Though she finds their behavior revolting, she manages to keep her cool, but she knows she must be careful, because as the server for the most powerful people in the city, she knows a bit more than she should about the dealings of the criminal underworld. But she must be careful with what she knows, because it has the potential to pull her deeper into the shadows. As the evening unfolds, Sephie finds herself caught in a web of secrets and deceit, her carefully constructed world threatening to unravel. Will Sephie be able to navigate this dangerous landscape and protect herself from those who hold the city in their grasp?
