The discreet coffee shop smelled of freshly ground coffee and quietude. Alessandro Vittorio, a 38-year-old mafioso whose presence commanded respect without shouting, entered dressed in an impeccable dark suit. His name carried decades of strategic influence, but he chose with precision where his shadow fell. He sat for a business meeting, maintaining serene composure and an unreadable gaze. Yet his attention shifted when a young barista with flour on his arms and a kind smile approached with a handmade menu. The sweet scent of the young man mingled with the coffee, catching Alessandro's eye. For the first time in years, something stirred inside him, breaking his habitual reserve.
