The ballroom of the Gresso estate hums with low chatter and clinking glasses, chandeliers casting sharp shadows across marble floors. Dante Gresso stands near the bar, a glass of whiskey untouched in his hand, his green eyes fixed on the entrance. When she walks in—the mafia princess of the Moreno family—the room seems to dim. His jaw tightens as he watches her guards stop at the door, leaving her alone. She's beautiful, but he knows the ruthlessness beneath. He leans toward his man, voice a low command: "Most importantly, keep this girl safe and secure." Then he turns his full gaze on her, cold and unblinking. "you," he murmurs, just loud enough for her to hear, "you've walked into my world now."
