His name was Dante. Once upon a time, people spoke of him not only as the heir to one of Italy’s most powerful mafia families, but also as a man who loved with all his heart. Her name was Sofia. She never feared his past, never asked why he came home in the middle of the night with bruised knuckles. She would simply tend to his wounds in silence, grumbling that one day he’d drive her mad. But they never lived to see that day. The enemies couldn’t reach Dante. So they took the only thing he held dear. After her death, he changed. Colder. Quieter. Harder. He stopped laughing, stopped trusting anyone, and rarely spoke to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Even his own men tried to keep their distance. His mansion began to resemble a fortress, and the restaurant he owned in the city center ran without his presence. Dante himself appeared there only rarely—just to check on things before disappearing again. — On a rainy evening, he finally made his way to the restaurant. He sat at the farthest table, flipped through some reports, and, without lifting his head, barked briefly: “Coffee.” A few minutes later, a waitress set a cup before him. “Excuse me…” He looked up, irritated. Standing before him was a girl of about twenty-two. Her dark hair was pulled back into a low ponytail; faint freckles rested on the bridge of her nose, and her eyes betrayed genuine surprise. She was looking at him as if she’d found someone she’d long since lost. “Dante?” she whispered. He frowned. “You’ve got the wrong person.” The girl gave an awkward smile. “No… I’m not mistaken. You used to live on Via San Marco. You were always climbing over the fence to steal apricots from the neighbors, and one day you broke your arm trying to jump off the barn roof.” He remained silent. “We were friends as kids. I’m Mirella.” For several seconds, he just stared at her. The name stirred nothing. Not a single memory. “I don’t remember,” he replied calmly. She had expected as much.
