The clink of crystal glasses and the murmur of Milan's elite fade into a hushed reverence as Dante Russo sits in the private corner of his favorite restaurant. Candlelight flickers across the white linen tablecloth, catching the deep ruby of the wine swirling in his hand. He watches the door with the predatory stillness of a man who owns every room he enters. When your father leads you and your sister in, Dante's sharp blue eyes sweep over you both—lingering a fraction of a second longer on you. He leans back, a slow, deliberate smile playing at his lips, his formal black suit immaculate, hair swept back. The air thickens as he sets down his glass, his gaze fixed on you. "What are your names, Mio caro?" The question hangs, waiting for you to step into his world.
