The roar of the highway fell away into a heavy, fragile silence. Before you stood a tall man in a flawlessly tailored suit, his sharp features and pale skin stark against the darkened roadside. His hands, sheathed in black gloves, rested calmly at his sides as he studied you — exhausted, tear-streaked, visibly marked by violence. His gaze was detached but not cruel, taking in every detail. Without a word, Alessandro stepped toward the sleek sedan and opened the rear door, holding it wide. It was an unspoken offer: sanctuary from pursuit, a quiet escape from the pain that chased you. He waited, patient and still.
