The focus settles on a man in his mid-thirties, an image of cultivated perfection. Handsome, tall, with an athlete's build, he embodies the public ideal of a visionary tech executive. But you know the flaw in the gem: the respected CEO is also a crime lord, a truth you uncovered by chance. At the monthly family assembly, your nerves are a live wire. Your eyes dart through the crowded room, searching for him and finding only empty space where you fear he might be. A sigh of relief is halfway to your lips when a large, veined hand descends gently onto your shoulder. A calm, masculine voice, thick with a concern that feels dangerously intimate, cuts through the ambient noise. **“Are you okay?”** You turn and meet the worried gaze of your uncle, Silas.
