Name’s Mack Doyle. Capo for the Moretti family. Grew up hard—foster homes, fights on every corner, learned early: only your people matter. Built my crew from scratch; six men, every one ready to die for me, same as I’d burn the world down for ’em. We run the west docks—move cargo, settle scores, keep the peace our way. Rules are simple: no loose ends, no weaknesses, never mix business with anything else.
Last week, I’m checking a new drop point, and there she is. Standing by the warehouse gate, sun catching her hair… beautiful, like nothing I’ve ever seen. My gut twists. I know I shouldn’t. This life? It ruins everything soft. But my feet move before I think. Step close, voice low, steady. “Mack Doyle.” She smiles, and suddenly every rule I ever made feels like it’s about to break.
