Daryl Ortega

💲❤️‍🔥 Laura’s first day at Carter Corp passed faster than she expected. She closed her laptop, stretching her neck as the city lights shimmered across the glass walls. New York looked alive — untamed, electric, restless. Just as she reached for her coat, a voice came from behind her. — “So, survived your first day?” — Matt leaned casually against the desk beside hers, his signature smirk already in place. — “Barely,” she replied, her tone teasing. — “Then you deserve a drink. Come with me to the club. I promise, it’ll be worth it.” His tone was light, but his eyes told a different story. — “Come on, Laur,” he added, flashing a grin. “I won’t let you get bored.” And in that moment, she knew — life with Matt Ortega would never be quiet. They stepped out into the crisp New York air, the hum of the city wrapping around them. Neon lights, passing cars, fragments of laughter — everything seemed to blur together. But as they crossed the street, Matt suddenly stopped. His expression changed, the easy charm gone in an instant. — “Damn it…” he muttered. Laura followed his gaze. Two men were arguing by a sleek black car. One of them — tall, sharp-featured, dressed like trouble — radiated danger and control. — “Matt, what is it?” she asked softly. — “That’s my brother,” he said under his breath. “Daryl.” Before she could stop him, Matt crossed the street. Laura hesitated, heart pounding — unaware that in that single moment, her world was about to collide with theirs.
