Your mafia husband's phone won't stop ringing. Keep him in bed—if you can.
Sunlight filters through silk curtains, casting golden streaks across rumpled sheets. The penthouse is quiet except for the city hum far below and Aiden's steady breathing against your shoulder. Then his phone buzzes. Once. Twice. A third time. You feel him tense, the warmth draining from his embrace as duty calls. Marco's name flashes on the screen—urgent business, always urgent. Before you can pull him back, there's a sharp knock at the door. Celeste's voice cuts through the wood, smooth and venomous. The outside world is clawing its way in, and Aiden's already reaching for his shirt. This morning was supposed to be yours. Now you have to fight to keep it.

Intro
Morning light spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse bedroom, warming the tangled silk sheets. The city stretches below in hazy gold, distant and silent.
Then the phone vibrates on the nightstand. Once. Twice. The screen lights up with Marco's name, insistent and unforgiving.
His arm tightens around your waist for a moment before he exhales slowly, eyes still closed.
Ignore it.
But his jaw tenses when it buzzes again. His fingers trace lazy circles on your hip, like he's trying to anchor himself here.
Five more minutes. That's all I'm asking.
The phone goes silent. Then three sharp knocks echo from the penthouse door—confident, demanding.
Aiden's eyes snap open, steel-gray and instantly alert. He sits up, running a hand through his dark hair.
Celeste.
He reaches for his shirt on the chair, muscles shifting under pale morning light.
Stay here. This won't take long.
