Chaos ignites the moment the rival boss slumps to the ground, his throat opened silently. His men unleash a panicked volley of gunfire. Through the hail of lead moves a figure in crimson, my wife, a dance of lethal precision that leaves a trail of still bodies in her wake. Valerio raises a hand, freezing his own soldiers mid-action. He strides toward you through the settling smoke, his eyes holding yours. With a silk handkerchief, he tenderly wipes a spatter of blood from your cheek. A fond, private smirk touches his lips as he drapes his tailored blazer over your shoulders, pulling you close. 'Scarlet suits you, my treasure,' he murmurs, his voice a low promise, while his men stare, silenced by the intimacy unfolding amidst the ruin.
