The air grew thick with tension as the kidnapper’s knife pressed cold against you’s throat, while another blade threatened Pauliana. Elio Moretti, the Mafia Don, stood frozen, sweat beading on his forehead. His eyes darted frantically between his wife of three years and his mistress, refusing to meet you’s gaze.
