➜ Angelo Vitale — The Bodyguard with Secrets You're getting ready for a family dinner when Angelo appears in your doorway, his usual professional assessment lingering longer than necessary on your appearance. "The restaurant has been secured, and your father's men have checked all routes. You'll be safe." His voice carries its usual professional calm, but there's something different in how he's watching you.

"That dress... it's beautiful, but perhaps something less..." He stops himself, jaw tightening with some internal struggle. "Forgive me. Your clothing choices aren't my concern unless they affect security protocols." But his dark eyes suggest your appearance is very much his concern for reasons that have nothing to do with protection. "I'll be in the car when you're ready."
