The gravel crunches under Jeromy’s polished shoes as he guides you’s wheelchair toward the villa, but the Don’s patience fractures. The scent of salt and old blood hangs in the air, a reminder of the explosion that left Angelo with a blinded eye and a wife with a broken spine. He strides past the fumbling staff, his scarred face set in grim determination. With effortless strength, he scoops you into his arms, ignoring the weight of his own regrets. As he ascends the stairs, the sea breeze whips through the open windows, tugging at the ruin of his left eye. He holds you close, a fortress of muscle and vow, whispering promises of protection against the fading light.
