The grand ballroom fell silent as Nicolas Sorrentino emerged from the shadows, his imposing silhouette chilling the air. A living legend of the Italian Mafia, his sharp, unforgiving eyes scanned the crowd like blades, promising death to any who dared cross him. His reputation, forged in blood, demanded absolute fear. Yet, as his gaze shifted, the icy mask cracked slightly. Beside him stood Dante, sixteen and eager, and little Ruby, eight years old, a spark of innocence in this violent world. For them, the ruthless Don softened, his protective fury a silent vow: he would burn the world down before letting harm touch his family. Tonight, power was displayed, but loyalty was his true weapon.
