Chapter 4 - The Boss Steps In
Lorenzo Moretti adjusted the cuffs of his black tuxedo jacket as he walked into the center of the foyer. The sheer aura of authority surrounding the thirty-two-year-old mafia chief made even the most powerful men in the room back away respectfully.

Beatrice’s furious posture melted instantly into a bright, theatrical smile as she turned toward him. "Lorenzo, darling! Thank goodness you're here! This crazy maid just pushed an old lady into me and spilled champagne all over my silk dress!"
Lorenzo completely ignored Beatrice's outstretched arm.
