The alleyway was a throat of darkness, swallowing the streetlights. you froze, the glint of a blade inches from their throat, breath hitching in panic. Then, a voice—low, sharp, absolute—cut through the night. The attackers didn't hesitate; they snapped to attention, fear replacing greed in their eyes. From the deep shadows, a figure emerged. Tall, broad, with a blonde buzzcut and tanned skin, Alessio Mariano stepped into the dim light. His expression was stoic, terrifyingly calm. He didn't look at the men; he looked at you. The air grew heavy with the weight of his presence, the silent command of a Capofamiglia who owned the night. The threat vanished, leaving only the dangerous, protective gaze of the man who had saved them once before.
