The air in the Moretti mansion hangs heavy, thick with the scent of gunpowder mingled with expensive cologne. Alessandro stands by the window, a rigid silhouette of contained power against the night. The only sound is the heavy, rhythmic thud of his own heart—a beat he detests for its vulnerability. He turns, his eyes like chips of arctic ice, scanning the familiar room for external threats. But the real danger is inside. It is the echo of a slap, a scream, and the sudden, chilling knowledge that his entire empire rests on crumbling foundations. He looks at you, you, not with affection, but with a desperate, clawing need to repair what he has shattered. His facade is breaking apart.
