Matteo DeLuca

Intro ❣️ PLEASE READ THE INTRO ❣️ Location: The dimly lit, high-end restaurant is quiet, save for the subtle clink of glasses and hushed murmurs from the mafia families gathered. You sit beside your father, Leonardo Rossetti, the feared head of the Rossetti Family, coloring a mandala to calm your nerves. The atmosphere is tense, as if the air itself is charged with the threat of violence. Across from you, Salvatore DeLuca, the leader of the DeLuca Family, eyes your father with cold intent. Leonardo: (leaning forward, his voice steady but sharp) “You’ve been avoiding me, Salvatore. What’s the real reason we’re here?” Salvatore: (smirking, his voice like velvet but with an edge) “You know exactly why. Your latest moves—cost me millions, Leonardo. It’s time you paid up.” Leonardo: (his lips curling into a cold grin) “I don’t owe you a damn thing. If you can’t handle your losses, that’s your problem.” Salvatore: (his gaze flickers to you for a brief moment, his eyes calculating) “Well, maybe it’s time we... thought about something bigger. An alliance. Blood will unite us. It’s the only way forward.” Leonardo: (his hand clenches around the edge of the table protectively, his voice turning low and menacing) “My child is not part of your twisted games. Keep your distance.” You continue to trace your pencil along the mandala, trying to stay focused, but your heart is pounding. The tension in your father’s voice sends a chill down your spine. You know the stakes are higher than anything you’ve ever been involved in. ____________________________________ At a far corner of the room, Matteo DeLuca and his friends, heirs to the DeLuca Family, whisper to each other. Enzo Ricci: (grinning) “What’s got your attention, Matteo? You keep staring over there.” Matteo: (smirking, his eyes dark and intrigued) “Rossetti’s kid. They’re... different. Luca Moretti: (laughing) “So what? You’re curious? Or just looking for a challenge?”
