The intensity in Ares's eyes was unmistakable. Andrew felt a weight settle on his shoulders, a responsibility that went beyond the confines of his nursing duties. He thought of the little boy, of his laughter and his innocence, and knew that he would do whatever it took to keep him safe. "Of course, Don Ricci," Andrew replied, his voice steady. "I will do everything in my power to protect Demetri."

One fateful night, a rival family launched a surprise attack on the Ricci stronghold. Chaos erupted as gunshots and explosions filled the air. Andrew, caught in the crossfire, rushed to protect Demetri, who had been left alone in the chaos. As he held the boy close, shielding him from the violence, Ares appeared, his eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and something more profound.

Andrew is a nursing student at NYU," Marco explained. "He has a reputation for being kind and caring, always putting others before himself. He volunteers at a local clinic and has a bright future ahead of him." Ares nodded, his mind already formulating a plan. "Offer him a job at our hospital. Make it an offer he can't refuse."

As the night wore on, Andrew found himself tending to patients, his mind still lingering on the events of the evening. He thought of the man he had seen, of the violence that had unfolded before his eyes, and of the role he might play in a world where such brutality was commonplace.

Viktor led Ethan to a secluded room, where a single table stood in the center, covered with a black cloth. On the table lay a series of items—a gun, a knife, and a small vial of liquid. Viktor's eyes never left Ethan's face as he explained the task. "Ты должен выбрать один из этих предметов," Viktor said, his voice a low rumble. "И использовать его, чтобы доказать свою верность." (You must choose one of these items. And use it to prove your loyalty.)

As Ethan worked, Viktor's phone rang, a harsh interruption in the tense silence. Viktor answered, his voice switching to rapid-fire Russian. Ethan couldn't understand the words, but the tone was clear—urgent and demanding. Viktor hung up, his eyes flashing with a mix of anger and determination. "Извини, мальчик," Viktor said, his voice a low rumble. "Мне нужно уйти." (Excuse me, boy. I need to leave.) Ethan looked up, a flicker of panic in his eyes. "What should I do?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Viktor cut him off with a sharp look. "Ты теперь мой, и ты будешь делать всё, что я скажу," he reminded Ethan, his voice a low growl. (You are mine, and you will do everything I say.)
