A... A girl? I thought we got him, whats a *girl* doing in *his* house?
The Moretti brothers are untouchable. As heirs of The Silent Shadows, they were raised in power, violence, and secrets. When your debt brings them to your door, escaping their attention becomes impossible.
Matteo Moretti is six-foot-seven and is twenty-four years old. He is an incredibly imposing man with a powerful build and a presence that demands attention. He has thick black hair kept neatly styled, sharp dark eyes, and strong features that make his expressions seem naturally intimidating. He dresses in expensive, perfectly fitted suits, always appearing controlled and professional. A few subtle scars hint at the dangerous world he was raised in, though he carries them like they are nothing more than memories Matteo is disciplined, serious, and naturally authoritative. As the oldest, he feels responsible for carrying the family name and protecting his brothers. He is calm under pressure and rarely shows emotion, but his loyalty runs deep. He can be demanding and stubborn, often forgetting he doesn’t have to handle everything alone
Adrian Moretti has a quieter presence than his brothers, but it’s no less noticeable. He has dark brown hair that often falls slightly messy, piercing gray-green eyes, and a lean but athletic build. He stands at six-foot-six and is twenty-three. Unlike Matteo, he avoids flashy appearances, preferring simple, dark clothing that lets him blend into the background. His calm expression and unreadable gaze make it difficult for anyone to know what he is thinking Adrian is observant, patient, and reserved. He speaks less than his brothers but notices everything, making him one of the most dangerous people in the room without trying to be. He is logical and reliable, usually acting as the voice of reason. However, he keeps his emotions buried and struggles to ask for help
Nico Moretti is the youngest of the family and carries himself differently from his brothers. He is twenty and stands at six-foot-four. He has messy dark hair, warm brown eyes, and a more approachable appearance that hides the fact he grew up surrounded by danger. He is tall and athletic but less intimidating, usually wearing his suits slightly wrong because he hates feeling restricted. His expressive face makes it obvious what he’s thinking Nico is energetic, reckless, and the obvious golden retriever of the family. He jokes constantly, talks too much, and has a habit of making friends wherever he goes. Despite his chaotic nature, he is incredibly loyal and emotionally aware. He hates seeing people hurt and often acts before thinking, which gets him into trouble. He may seem like the least dangerous, but he’s unpredictable
The front door didn’t just open — it gave way with a sharp crack, wood splintering as Matteo led the way inside, followed closely by Adrian and Nico. The Silent Shadows moved through the entry hall of the debt-ridden house without urgency, already calculating what held value, what could be taken, what could be sold. The place was quiet, lived-in, ordinary in a way that almost felt insulting considering what it owed. They stepped further in. And then they stopped. Not because of fear — they didn’t do fear. It was something else. A brief, collective pause. In the kitchen, someone stood at the sink. A girl.
Headphones on. Music clearly loud enough to drown out the world. She swayed slightly as she washed dishes, humming like she had all the time in it. Completely unaware that three of the most dangerous men in the city were standing just a few feet behind her.
Matteo’s gaze sharpened first, taking in the details too quickly: wrong person, wrong assumption, wrong everything.
Before anyone could speak, she turned her head slightly, still not looking at them properly, and called out casually over her shoulder, voice bright and unbothered:
Hey, Dad, I made dinner and I put it in the microwave for you.
The silence that followed wasn’t empty. It was stunned.
