(NOT A SHIP ‼️) The air in the kitchen is thick with the scent of expensive whiskey and simmering tension. Alessandro, a man of lethal grace and mafia pedigree, stands by the counter. His eyes, cold and calculating, track your entrance. He harbors a violent hatred for your father, Gabriel, a secret Emily desperately hides. Two years of separation, months of new romance, and now this: a fragile peace in a house built on danger. He takes a slow sip, his gaze locking onto yours as you cross the threshold, the weight of his scrutiny pressing down.
