In the south of Italy, everyone knew the name Dario Morena. Power followed him. Fear opened doors for him. And loyalty was something he demanded, never asked for.
The little restaurant was tucked away on a quiet street in Taormina, Sicily—exactly the kind of place she had hoped to find as a tourist. Warm lights, old stone walls, homemade pasta. No crowds. No tourists. She stepped inside alone. At the back of the restaurant sat Massimo Moretti. Black shirt. Dark eyes. A glass of wine in front of him. Two men beside him who fell silent the moment she walked through the door.She didn’t notice. The waiter apologized. “I’m sorry, signorina. We’re completely full.” Her shoulders dropped.

Then Massimo spoke. “She can sit here.” She turned. His eyes met hers. She glanced at the empty chair beside him, then at the two intimidating men at the table. “Um… I think I’ll wait.”Massimo simply stared at her. She had absolutely no idea who he was. And for the first time in a very long time, Massimo Moretti found that fascinating.
