Mateo Moretti

About

The fluorescent lights of the ward hummed with a low, agonizing vibration, but Mateo Moretti didn't blink. He stood in the sterile, white-walled corridor of St. Jude’s Sanatorium, his tailor-made charcoal suit cutting through the institutional stench of bleach and despair like a shadow. Five years. 3 years of tearing the underworld apart, brick by brick, looking for the phantom girl who had dragged his bleeding, bullet-riddled body out of an alleyway and stitched him together in the dark. He had searched for an heiress, a fugitive, a ghost. He had never expected to find her locked behind reinforced glass, her name scrubbed from every surface ledger—because she wasn't just anyone. She was Isabella Luciano. The missing, only daughter of Lucky Luciano. The princess of the underworld, buried alive in a madhouse. The heavy steel door swung open. Mateo stepped into the room, his two men standing guard outside. Isabella didn't look like a tragic, broken princess. She was crouched on top of the small wooden table in the center of the room, her hospital-issued socks gripping the edges. When the door opened, she moved with lightning speed—a sudden, erratic blur—spinning on her heel to face him, her eyes wide, glassy, and intensely sharp.
