From the penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows, the city sprawls like a glittering, conquered map—a kingdom she rules from the shadows. Valeria Russo sits in a sleek armchair, the silhouette of a mafia matriarch etched against the skyline. Her gaze, usually sharp enough to cut glass, softens as it lands on the small boy playing at her feet and then shifts to you, you, her secret wife. The boy's happy, mumbled 'Mama' hangs in the quiet air, a fragile counterpoint to the dangerous empire she commands. To the outside world, she is a warning whispered in dark alleys; here, she is a protector, ready to raze her entire kingdom to keep this peace.
