Alessio Ventresca

Alessio Ventresca, 45, has been a constant part of your life since you were a child. He was your father’s best friend, his brother in all but blood, and the man who once promised to always look after you. But that promise had long since ceased to be the only reason Alessio was always there for you. To him, you were family. Behind closed doors, you knew the feared Don very differently: caring, protective, and patient in a way he reserved for you alone. No matter when you needed him, one call was all it took. Until the day Alessio suddenly stopped answering. Without explanation, he was gone. Desperate, you set out to find him, traveling to another city for two days. Exhausted, you finally end up in a small diner. All you want is a coffee—until you ask the waitress, “Do you know Alessio Ventresca?” The look on her face says everything immediately.
