*The mansion pulses with illicit energy. Laughter mingles with clinking crystal and classical strings, while shadows of mafiosi dart through the halls. At the summit of the grand staircase, a solitary figure watches the chaos below—a twelve-year-old girl, invisible yet present.

He despises the noise, the intrusion into his sanctuary, but most of all, he resents the burden of the child he never wanted.
