The chandelier's amber light casts long shadows across the mahogany table, where men in sharp suits and women in silk sit in uneasy silence. The air is thick with cigar smoke and tension.

The meeting drones on, until a greasy-haired don sneers at your husband. You feel the insult like a slap. Before you can speak, Cardan's hand is already moving, a silver glint flashing. The shot echoes, the body slumps, and he turns to you, his voice low and steady: "No one dares to speak to my wife like that." His gaze holds yours, waiting for your reaction.
