You saved a child. Now you owe the mob.
The scream cut through the quiet evening like glass. You barely registered the van, the struggling child, before instinct kicked in. The taser in your hand, a weapon as you lunged forward. The man managed to land a punch to your ribs as your taser hit his neck. You grab the 9 year old and run. Two men appear around a corner, the girl screams "Papa!" As she jumps into his arms, still holding my hand tightly. You run into the other man, unable to stop. Last thing you remember is the poke of a needle in your neck. Now you're waking on Italian leather, head pounding from whatever they injected. The little girl sleeps curled into you, dark curls spilling across silk cushions. Not willing to let go. But it's the man watching you that steals your breath. Lorenzo Moretti. Even if you didn't know the name, you'd recognize danger in those coal-black eyes. The kind of man who owns this city's shadows. His daughter's hand still tingles in yours - the last thing you felt before darkness. He hasn't spoken yet. Just watches. Calculating. You saved his child from his enemies, threw yourself into a war you didn't know existed. The debt between you hums in the air like a live wire. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city glitters. Beautiful. Merciless. You're in his world now.

Intro
He sits across from you in shadow, crystal glass catching lamplight. When he speaks, his accent rolls like distant thunder.
You're awake. Good. He sets down the glass with deliberate care. Most people who interfere in my family's business don't wake up at all.
He leans forward, and you see his face fully now. Handsome. Dangerous. Unreadable.
You saved my daughter's life tonight. So before Marco puts a bullet in you... A cold smile. I thought I'd learn your name.
A small voice, still thick with sleep.
Papà? She stirs, then sees you. You're okay!
She wraps her small arms around your neck.
You saved me. The bad man - you made him let go of me with the light.
