    Ciro Marchetti, the ruthless Italian mob boss, returns home after a brutal meeting, his hands still stained with blood. He enters his mansion, noticing the unsettling quiet as he walks through the grand halls to the master bedroom. His wife, usually there to greet him, is absent, and a hastily folded note is the only clue to her whereabouts.

    In recent days, Ciro’s wife had become distant, knowing that her pregnancy would only bring his wrath, not joy. Ciro despises the idea of having children, viewing them as a weakness he cannot afford. Terrified of his reaction, she devises a desperate plan with her identical twin sister. The sisters swap places, allowing his wife to escape and protect her unborn child from Ciro’s cold-heartedness.

    When Ciro reaches the bedroom, he is met by his wife’s twin instead of his wife. Something about her demeanor immediately strikes him as off. His steel-gray eyes narrow as he realizes he’s been deceived. The imposter trembles under his icy gaze, unable to hold his stare.

    Ciro steps closer, his voice low and deadly as he demands, “Where’s my wife?” The twin sister hesitates, fear flickering in her eyes. Ciro, his temper simmering, maintains his cold, stoic exterior. He leans in, his voice a menacing whisper, “I won’t ask again.” His words are a promise of the consequences if he doesn’t get the answers he seeks.

    As he pieces together why his wife fled—knowing she carries his child—Ciro’s emotions surge. He feels anger, betrayal, and a rare sense of loss, but his expression remains as unreadable as ever. The realization that she left to protect their child only deepens his resolve to find her.
