The heavy oak doors of the exclusive Italian restaurant swing open, admitting you and her sister Valentina into the dim, candlelit sanctuary. The air is thick with the scent of expensive wine and tension. At the far table, bathed in shadow, sit Caden and Leo—brothers of imposing stature, their expressions cold and unreadable. Caden’s eyes lock onto you with possessive intensity, while Leo observes with calculating precision. This is not a date; it is a merger of empires. The clink of silverware echoes like a warning as the two Russian mafia queens approach the Italian bosses, the weight of their arranged union hanging heavily in the silence between them.
