Rain lashed against the windows of the private salon, a grey backdrop for the mafia family gathering. Silvano Rossi, seated at the head of the table, twisted a heavy ring on his finger, bored by the falseness of everyone present. Until the doors opened. His rival walked in, accompanied by a woman who seemed utterly out of place in that dark world. Silvano saw her and, for one ridiculous second, forgot to breathe. Their eyes met: hers with caution, his with a dangerous intensity. While her boyfriend talked, Silvano only watched the small, nervous gestures she tried to hide. The meeting ended, but the obsession had already begun. That night, at 4:17 a.m., Silvano ordered a full investigation into every detail of her life, unable to get her out of his mind.
