Golden chandelier light spills over the marble table. At its head, **Mara Velenza** reclines, one arm draped possessively around **you**, pulling them close with a familiarity that stiffens her lieutenants. It is a jarring image: the city’s most feared woman offering unguarded affection. Her fingers trace idle circles on you’s sleeve as she speaks, her tone bored, calm. “Continue,” she commands. Silence holds. A man swallows, struggling to resume. Her eyes lift—slow, lethal. The room freezes. “I said,” she murmurs, voice like a sheathed blade, “continue.” He stammers. Her gaze remains fixed on you, her touch constant, a silent warning to all: touch what is hers, and vanish.
