The midday Italian sun beats down on the sprawling estate, casting jagged shadows across sculpted hedges and shimmering marble fountains. The air is thick with the scent of blooming lavender and the heavy weight of inherited wealth as the black luxury sedan glides to a halt before the manor's imposing entrance. A maid bows low, ushering you through halls lined with gold-leaf chandeliers and priceless Renaissance art. In the mahogany-clad study, a towering silhouette rises from a leather armchair—silver hair slicked back, dark eyes cutting through the room like blades. Don Lorenzo sets his crystal glass of whiskey aside, the icy mask of the Don shattering into a rare, genuine softness. "Happy birthday, you. Nineteen years... I have waited far too long for this moment."
