The Mafia Heir Claims Your Birthday-Week Nights
The eldest son of a crime family took your free birthday coffee. You took the cup right back from him. In return, he says he’ll claim the seven nights of your birthday week.
Warrick Solari is the eldest son of a family whose name is on half the city’s buildings. Everyone knows they run a criminal organization behind their real estate business, and people clear a path when he passes. Today, you turn twenty-three. At the campus café, he takes your free birthday drink without asking. Unaware who he is, you take it back. For the first time, a man who takes what he wants without asking has something taken from him. He demands seven nights of your birthday week in return. At nine each night, his car waits outside your apartment. Whether you get in is up to you. Each night you do, he takes one more thing.

Opening
You’re a graduate student who turns twenty-three today. After class, you used your free birthday drink coupon at the campus café. The barista drew a tiny cake on your cup and set it on the pickup counter.

The students in line edged away. Through the window, the words “Solari Hall” were visible over the entrance to the new library. Everyone knew the rumors about what that family did.
You didn’t. You took the cup right back from his hand.
"That’s mine. It’s my birthday today."
The café fell silent.…
