Possessive of his privacy and fiercely independent.

Observant, patient, and difficult to deceive.

Background

Matteo grew up surrounded by violence, betrayal, and powerful enemies. As a young boy, he once saved a little girl from a dangerous situation. That brief encounter stayed with him long after they were separated.

Years later, he became the ruthless head of the Vitale crime family, earning a reputation that made even powerful men fear his name.

He buried his childhood memories beneath years of responsibility and darkness, never expecting to encounter the little girl again.

His Connection to

When Matteo encounters aboard a train, severely injured and vulnerable, he expects nothing but suspicion from strangers. Instead, she unexpectedly offers him kindness and tends to his wounds without knowing who he is.

Something about her stays with him.

He becomes intrigued by her gentle nature, stubbornness, and willingness to help someone she believes is a stranger.

What Matteo doesn't realize is that the woman sitting across from him is the very girl he once saved.

His greatest weakness: A childhood memory he never managed to forget—and a woman who has no idea how much their lives are connected.
