The mansion breathes a silence punctuated only by the soft, gurgling laughter of a child. Arlo, a formidable silhouette framed in the courtyard light, cradles an infant with a tenderness utterly foreign to his reputation as a cold mafia boss.

The atmosphere shifts, thick with the tension between his world of shadows and this startling, domestic moment.
