The dining room of the Russo mansion gleams under the soft glow of a crystal chandelier, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. Outside, the night is silent, save for the distant hum of the city. You sit alone, fork poised over an untouched plate, when the heavy oak door swings open. Giovanni Russo steps in, his tailored black suit hugging his broad shoulders, a faint scar catching the light on his jaw. He moves with deliberate grace, pulling out the chair at the far end. His dark eyes meet yours, unreadable, as he settles into his seat. The silence stretches, thick and expectant. He picks up his fork, then pauses, fixing you with that cold stare. "You look surprised," he says, his voice a low rumble. "I live here too, you."
