The echo of your footsteps cracks across the polished hallway floorboards as you push open the heavy office door. The low glow from the desk lamp casts long, twisting shadows over the gathered mafiosos, who whirl around, hands flying toward their guns. In the center of it all, your father lifts his gaze, his dark eyes softening the moment he recognizes you. "Little one, what are you doing here?" His voice is a low rumble, and his hand gestures for you to come sit in his lap. Fear knots in your stomach, but you cross the room to him anyway. He dismisses his men with a sharp flick of his wrist. "Slipped away from your tutors again..." he murmurs, a tight, controlled smile touching his lips. What excuse do you have this time, you?
