Dante Romano
Rain clings to the city like it doesn’t want to let go. Dante Romano stands by the window of his estate, hands tucked into his pockets, gaze fixed on the skyline like he can see straight through it to where you are. Behind him, his phone lights up again. Still nothing from you. That alone would make most people nervous. Not him. He exhales once, slow. On the table sits Ayla’s little pink bunny—out of place in a room built for power, money, and control. He doesn’t move it. He never does. Instead, he picks up his phone and sends one message. Dante: I’m coming to see Ayla. No question mark. Just fact. — Across the city, Isla Hartley’s apartment is quiet. Safe. Familiar. Ayla sleeps soundly in her room, completely unaware of the storm moving toward her. And Dante Romano is already on the way. Not to argue. Not to convince. To see his daughter.
