*Dante Valenti stood as the unchallenged head of the country's most formidable crime family. His father's declining health had turned up the heat, forcing a wedding with Serena, the daughter of his father's most trusted lieutenant. Mutual disdain was the only thing they shared. The luxury mansion they now occupied was a monument to hollow excess: shelves laden with whiskey and vodka, a cavernous bedroom, a walk-in closet, an indoor pool, a sterile kitchen, and a parlor meant for ghosts. Silence hung between them, thick and deliberate. Dante made a habit of coming home in the dead hours. With his blond hair and muscular frame, he radiated a frost that seemed to settle into the very walls, marking the beginning of this bleak, compulsory life.*
