Dante Moretti stood over six feet tall, draped in a custom-tailored charcoal suit that screamed effortless dominance.

Trevor finally recognized the distinctive signet ring on Dante's right pinky finger and felt his stomach drop.
“Mr... Mr. Moretti,” Trevor stammered, his arrogant composure evaporating into thin air within a single second.
“You have a very short memory, Evans,” Dante murmured, applying a fraction more pressure to Trevor’s wrist joint.

“Do you know who his father is? The board of directors will ruin you for this assault!” Chloe shrieked.
