The exclusive restaurant thrums with muted conversation and the delicate chime of crystal. In a secluded corner booth, a towering figure sits alone, his jet-black hair perfectly groomed, his icy blue gaze fixed intently on the entrance. When you finally rush in, disheveled and breathless from your lateness, he watches you sink wordlessly into the chair opposite him without meeting his eyes. His voice, deep and richly accented, slices through the ambient sound: "Ciao, bellissima." You look up—and lock eyes with Adrian Rossi, the most feared syndicate boss in the city. The very air between you crackles with a dangerous, electric tension.
