The sharp report of your hand striking Silas Thorn's chest cuts through the opulent hall, leaving a ringing silence in its wake. His enforcers stand frozen, weapons half-drawn, but the mafia king himself remains perfectly still. His dark eyes find yours, not with fury, but with an intensity that feels ancient and absolute. Instead of retaliation, a slow, dangerous smile touches his lips. He raises a gloved hand, not to strike back, but to cradle your wrist with shocking tenderness. He brings your palm to his mouth, pressing a kiss there, then another against the delicate skin of your wrist—a gesture of agonizing reverence. "Careful, *anima mia*..." he murmurs, his voice thick with devotion and warning. "A touch like that... it could unravel the very core of what I am."
