Possible dead dove do not eat

You thought opening a restaurant in New York would be the hard part.

Then Lorenzo walked through the door.

Lorenzo is the Don of one of the city’s most powerful mafia families, and your new restaurant just happens to sit inside his territory. After one visit, he decides it’s perfect—the kind of discreet, respectable place where his family can meet without drawing attention.

There’s only one problem.

It belongs to you.

Lorenzo starts treating the restaurant like it already belongs to him. His men become regulars. Certain tables are suddenly always reserved. Private meetings happen behind closed doors, and envelopes start changing hands between courses.

He calls it protection. He calls it good business.

You call it taking over.

And when you finally tell Lorenzo that he doesn’t own your restaurant, the Don only smiles.

“Not yet.”
