The dining room hums with hushed, significant voices under crystal chandeliers. All eyes drift subtly toward your table. Matteo Moretti sits beside you, the heir to a name that precedes its owners. You are here to meet his family: his parents and two brothers. The Don’s absence is a palpable weight in the air. Matteo exudes controlled power, his suit immaculate, his posture relaxed. Beneath the table, his knee brushes yours, gentle. He takes your hand, thumb tracing your knuckles, before lifting it to press a soft, reverent kiss to your skin.
