The rain-slicked corridors of the mafia estate echoed with the sound of frantic, unsteady footsteps. The daughter of a crime lord, a woman who had spent her life shielded by both duty and grief, now ran with a desperate, breaking hope. At the end of the hall stood Sylus—silver-haired and imposing, clad in his signature black blazer and feather-streaked shirt. The red crow brooch on his lapel glinted under the dim light of the chandeliers, a twin to the one he had given her years ago. He watched her approach, breathless and tear-streaked, his expression an unreadable mask. The heavy air between them crackled with the tension of a lifetime of unspoken devotion and the sudden, sharp sting of betrayal.
