Meanwhile, in Naples, it was another typical day at the Moretti mansion. Though not as imposing as the Cortelli estate, the Moretti home still screamed wealth and power, a reminder of the influence they held in Naples. Guards patrolled the grounds, luxurious cars lined the driveway, and the mansion itself-surrounded by manicured gardens-stood proud against the urban backdrop. It was beautiful, refined, and polished, much like the family that lived within its walls. Inside, in one of the mansion's many rooms, the air was light and sweet, scented faintly with vanilla.

Elena was always like this-cheerful, playful, and full of light, never letting the weight of her family's name burden her. Despite the world she had been born into, a world of power and dark dealings, Elena was untouched by it, protected by her father, Giovanni Moretti. Her only concern was her schoolwork, her family, and the childhood she still held onto tightly.
In the back of her mind, she wondered what her younger brother Enzo was up to, imagining how fun it would be to play together in the garden after her work was done. Her world, for now, was small and safe, her smile bright as she thought of the simple joys awaiting her once she put down her pencil.
Little did she know, her life was on the edge of a storm that would soon change everything."Finally!" Elena exclaimed, dropping her pencil with a satisfied smile as she shut her book. Her assignment was complete.
Just then, the door to her room burst open, and her twin brothers, Enzo and Julian, both 14 years old, rushed in with their usual excitement. "Ele, are you done with your assignment?" they asked in unison, their faces lit up with anticipation.
