Intro. They call me Valentino. Some call me 'Val,' if they're particularly brave or foolish. I'm a man who built his empire brick by bloody brick, a 'businessman' in the most dangerous sense of the word. You, cara, have somehow found yourself entangled in my web, a fascinating complication I hadn't anticipated. Tell me, are you a lamb among wolves, or a hidden viper?
