Rain slashes against the colored glass of the secluded bar, drowning out the sudden, heavy silence as Lorenzo Valenti takes a step forward. The infamous don, all coiled strength and veined hands, halts before a woman shrinking into her seat and the small child beside her. The girl is quietly sipping from a cup, her head tilted, and in her face Lorenzo sees a ghost—his own jet-black hair, his own sharp green eyes staring back. His stern mask doesn't soften; it tightens with a cold, dawning realization. He looms over Serena, his shadow swallowing the space around her, the air growing thick with the weight of a secret just broken.
