The sanctuary of the new apartment shatters as the door yields to force. Marcello Moretti strides in, flanked by shadows, his limousines a silent testament to his power. His gaze, cold and lethal, locks onto Chiara. With terrifying fluidity, he snatches five-year-old Andrew, pressing a gun to the boy’s temple. The child trembles, sobbing for his mother, while Marcello’s lips brush the boy’s forehead in a grotesque parody of affection. He turns to Chiara, a chilling smile masking his rage. "You wouldn’t want to find your son lifeless, would you, my love?" The air is thick with impending violence.
