NEXT MORNING~DURING BREAKFAST Sergio sat at the head of the table with Rosana to his right, serving him breakfast while the twins sat on either side of her, bouncing with enthusiasm. The table was laden with a lavish breakfast spread, but the real show was always the endless banters."Ah-ah, no you don't!" Rosana said, deftly swiping the jam-filled spoon out of Vincenzo's hand. Even with her eyes never leaving the skillet, she still managed to catch the sneaky move. "How does Mommy do that?" Vincenzo asked, his eyes widening in surprise as he slumped back in his seat, his shoulders sagging in defeat. His twin, Alessandro giggled at the failed attempt. "Yeah, Mommy's got eyes in the back of her head!" Vincenzo gasped with wide eyes. "That's impossible!""I thought we agreed mommy is a superwoman?" Sergio asked, looking up from the paper he was reading."Are you a superwoman, mommy? Do you have invisible eyes at the back of your head?" Rosana chuckled, sliding a plate of pancakes in

Lucretia's body felt heavy, as though the weight of her fear was pinning her to the floor. Even after the man left with a promise to keep in touch, her mind kept racing with dark thoughts. The man's menacing words were clear: She was going to be a pawn in a much larger and dangerous game, one she never dreamed of getting involved in.And her son... She couldn't shake off the feeling that she had put him in danger. After hiding him for years, afraid he would be taken away from her, they finally found him. The video was a message, a warning that they had him in their crosshairs, and If she failed to do as asked, she was going to lose him. "Fuck, no!" She cried out and buried her face on her huddled knees.He was her world, her reason for being and she had to find a way to shield him the best way she could. She had to do something. Immediately, she fetched her phone and dialed her aunt, Silvana's number. She was the only relative she kept in touch with over the years."Where is Rio, I.

Wrapping her hair around his fist, Sergio used it as leverage to make her take him deeper. He drove into her with one deep thrust, and her yelp turned into a series of whimpering moans as he pounded her from behind. They mingled with his grunts and the sound of flesh slapping against flesh. "Fuck, Rosana!" He shuddered and came inside of her, just after she reached the peak of her second orgasm. Breathlessly, they remained in that position before he finally carried her into the bathroom where he gently placed her inside the warm bubble bath. He got in behind her and began washing her body. "Ville told me you visited the clubhouse""Yes. Had to get out of the house" She replied and leaned back into him. "But I was not alone. Lucretia came visiting""You should be resting, Bambolina""Of course. Say that to what we just did"He smirked, running his hands on her tiny bump. "That was a fucking exercise, you deserve it"As he continued washing her body, she remembered the conversation s

As Ville alighted the car and walked towards the house, the maids offered their greetings with smiles on their faces. For the past five years, he had been visiting Vicenta whenever his duties allowed. Rosana, kind and understanding enough, often relieved him of his responsibilities so he could take a day off and spend time with Vicenta.During those times, he read books to her, drove her around town, tended the garden together, practiced meditation, and helped Carmencita in preparing meals. He also taught her how to play board games and cards, and how to write letters and journals. He would then play her favorite music and watch her dance—One of the things she loved doing.It wasn't easy at first, but with each passing day, Vicenta's grip on reality strengthened, all thanks to Ville and Carmencita's unwavering support and love that helped guide her back from the precipice. Her eyes, once vacant and flickering on the verge of extinction, now burned brighter, glistening the path to rec

With Sergio at work and the twins at school, Rosana had the house all to herself and was free to immerse herself in her artwork. She stayed up in her studio, trying to finish up a family portrait she had started working on some months ago. In the painting, she sat at the center, her smile warm and radiant. On either side of her, the twins stood with boyish grins, each a mini version of their father. As they grew older, their personalities began to reflect the qualities of both parents. Alessandro, much like his father, possessed a quiet reserve, his cool demeanor a stark contrast to his brother's friendly nature. Vincenzo on the other hand, exuded warmth and charisma just like his mother and could easily connect with those around him. Though their personalities diverged in many ways, the twins remained inseparable.In the painting, Sergio loomed tall and strong behind them, his chiseled features and perfectly sculpted face exuding handsomeness. Though his expression was serious, his

"Ti amo, Enzo De Niro... Mi dispiace..." [I love you, Enzo De Niro... I'm sorry...]Then, with a heavy heart, she delivered the final blow. The sound of his labored breathing and the sight of his eyes widening in shock only proved that it was all real. She had just... She had just... She gasped but didn't—couldn't step away from him. Not when the realization came with a painful stab to her soul. At that moment, Enzo felt a searing pain in his chest, as though his heart had been pierced. He struggled to draw breath, his vision blurred, and his words were reduced to a gurgling gasp. Blood filled his mouth, choking him. Before he could comprehend what was happening, she stumbled back, and his gaze fell on the knife lodged deep in his chest which was now surrounded by a spreading crimson stain. When he forced his eyes back to hers, the realization hit him like a thunderbolt—he had been stabbed. Not by anyone else, but Lucretia, the woman he had let down his guards for, the woman he had

Sergio stood frozen with his broad back against the door, his fists clenched and pressed against the table, holding him upright. He had been in that position since he left the Doctors, his head hung low and chin tucked between his shoulder blades as the weight of grief crushed over him, consuming him from the inside out.His entire being was shattered!Rosana quietly walked into the study room and approached him. She had wept bitterly after receiving the news and still couldn't believe it. But then, the news had come directly from Sergio which meant it was the truth. Her brother-in-law was no more. And to think Lucretia was there when it all happened... Her best friend must be going through a tough time too.And Rosana, she had to stay strong for her family, despite the impact of the news. Sergio was already broken and was now a hollow shell of his former self. And the twins... It wouldn't take long for them to realize their favorite uncle hadn't shown up for days. When that time came

As Vicenta stood up and turned on the stereo, the room was filled with lively rhythms of music. She had successfully lifted Ville's spirit with her conversation and laughter and now wanted to do what she loved doing most since she was a little girl—dance.With a smile on her face, she began moving her body to the beat, swaying her hips, and moving her arms accordingly. Ville watched from the corner of the room, his eyes captivated by every step, every spin, and every gesture. He had seen her dance before, but tonight was different. Tonight, it felt like she was dancing for him alone, pouring her heart and soul into every movement. And then, that beautiful smile which always had the power to make his heart skip a beat. She was beautiful, perfect even! As she danced closer to him, her eyes locked onto his, she beckoned him to join her. Even when he wasn't a skilled dancer, he couldn't resist. He rose from his seat and she took his hands, guiding him into the rhythm. Their bodies move

Enzo's mind reeled, struggling to process the revelation. The past and present collided, threatening to upend everything—the secrets she'd kept, the lies she'd told, and the truths she'd hidden, partially exposed. What more could she have hidden from him?Rio, oblivious to the turmoil raging within Enzo, happily jumped up from his seat. "Catch me if you can!" Then, he ran off.Enzo, familiar with the game, stood up and ran after him, trying to catch him. The sun-drenched playground echoed with Rio's laughter as they chased after each other. Suddenly, Rio's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he waved enthusiastically."Mammà! My Mammà is here!" As Enzo's gaze followed him, his blood ran cold. Frozen in place, he watched as Lucretia walked towards the playground, her strides elegant, as always. She scanned the playground and once she found Rio, she smiled softly. "There you are!" The boy sprinted toward her with a ball in hand. "Mammà, come see! I made a new friend, he saved me from

Rio stepped out of the room, his small frame trembling. He had watched the scene unfold through the window and though he hadn't seen everything, he knew the unknown man had saved him. He had defeated the bad man who now lay motionless on the ground.Enzo, sensing his presence, shifted his gaze from the lifeless man. His eyes locked on Rio and for a moment, he froze. Those eyes... They were identical to Lucretia's, deep green.His expression faltered as a flicker of emotion crossed his face. The resemblance was uncanny—the same deep green that had haunted him for months. Memories came flooding back, but he locked them away and hardened his expression."Are you okay?" He asked and Rio nodded, taking small steps forward. "You should not be out here""Yes. Nana Silvana said to stay inside, but then, the bad man came." Nana Silvana? Enzo had thought the woman was the boy's mother. "You are safe now.""And the... And the bad man?"Enzo's expression softened. "He will never harm you again,

"Once I'm gone, lock the door from the inside," Silvana instructed Rio, her expression serious. "Do not go outside. Do you understand?""Yes, Nana." He nodded solemnly."Remember, do not open the door for anyone except your Mammà or me." "Yes, Nana," Rio replied, his brows furrowed with concern. "Is Mammà alright? I saw bruises on her face this morning"Silvana's face softened. Despite Lucretia's attempt to hide from the boy, he had noticed the bruises anyway. "She is... alright, dear, you do not have to worry about her. That is why you must stay safe inside and keep the door locked. I will be back in no time"With a reassuring smile, Silvana departed and Rio obediently did as instructed, his mind filled with worry. His mother's changed behavior troubled him and the fact that she wasn't herself anymore. The past few months had been filled with hushed conversations between Aunt Silvana and his mother who often whispered of "Paying the price" and that "He's coming for her." Rio could

NEXT MORNING~Lucretia stood at her kitchen sink, bracing herself against the cool countertop. The trembling of her hands subsided slowly as she gripped the edge of the sink, her head bowed in exhaustion. She couldn't sleep the whole night as the image of the men who had attacked her kept flashing in her mind, including the mysterious man who had saved her. Her thoughts swirled, reliving the terror of the alley. Each memory triggered a fresh wave of fear that made her stomach churn. She retched, but nothing came up. Her fingers instinctively went to the tender skin of her neck where Domingo had gripped her and she winced at the haunting memories it brought back.Enzo should've killed her at once, instead of letting her live. She had felt the life draining out of her when he encircled his fingers on her throat, but then his hands had fallen limp as he slipped away.Attempting to calm her racing heart, she forced herself to breathe deeply. If not for the mysterious stranger, she'd be g

"No, it isn't!" Lucretia gritted and darted towards the narrow gap between two dumpsters. Before she could make it through, she was grasped by the hair and tossed harshly to the ground."Always thinking you're fucking smart" Domingo laughed and walked over to where she was now struggling to raise herself from the ground. He crouched in front of her and grasped her hair, pulling her head backward so she was now looking into his face."But you're not!" He added and landed a hard slap on her face that sent her back to the ground."What the fuck do you want from me?!?""From you? Oh, everything!" He replied languidly and grasped hair one more time."Why? I did as you fucking asked!""That's what I thought. Until I found out the mission was unsuccessful, you fucking failed" He responded and smacked her on the cheek once more. "And he is alive!"Lucretia spat our blood as she struggled to get up from the ground. "He's fucking dead, I saw it, you saw it. Unless you were fucking blind"Domin

The leather strap cracked against Alberto's back, the sound echoing through the room. His cries were all that was heard, his pleas for mercy drowned out by the relentless cracking of the belt. "You should have taken the throne," Sergio repeated, each word punctuated by another strike. His expression remained impassive, his eyes glinting with cold intensity.In rapt silence, the men who had been ordered out of the meeting room and the soldiers watched, witnessing Alberto's public downfall. They all knew Sergio was merely toying with him. An actual fight would've ended in minutes, with Alberto broken and covered in bruises. But instead of using his fists, the Don had chosen to wield his belt as a tool of discipline.The measured strikes, the steady pace, and Sergio's unruffled demeanor served as a potent reminder of his unshakable power and authority. This wasn't about vengeance, neither was it a punishment. It was a deliberate showcase of his supremacy."Please... forgive me! I am you

•••TWO WEEKS LATER••• ☠️🏴☠️THE CAPITAL🏴☠️☠️The door to the meeting room swung open, and Sergio walked in, his presence grasping attention. He was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, his shirt crisp and white, his tie knotted to perfection. But it wasn't his impeccable attire that drew the eye. It was the cold aura that swirled around him like a dark cloud.As he entered, the room seemed to grow colder, the air thickening with an almost discernable sense of fear. The mafia members, dressed in tailored suits, felt a shiver run down their spines as their hearts raced in unison.Hastily, they scrambled to their feet with their heads bowed in terror and their eyes fixed on the floor. Not a sound was made and not a muscle twitched, as they froze in place. Sergio's gaze swept the room, his eyes lingering on each member. His face remained calm, but his eyes burned with an icy intensity that seemed to pierce the very souls of those before him.With deliberate slowness, he made

"It's a miracle!" The Doctor exclaimed, snapping him out of his thoughts. "The Don is awake, and we owe it to these two little champions"A sudden shiver ran down his spine, as though a cold breeze had swept through the room. But it wasn't the temperature that caused the shiver—it was the unmistakable sensation of being watched.He could feel a pair of eyes digging into his back, boring into his skin. The sensation was familiar, yet it sent a trail of shivers down his spine. Without turning around, Sergio listened to the Doctor who continued talking. As Sergio finally turned to face the room, his breath hitched in his throat. His eyes locked onto Rosana's, and time seemed to stand still. She was standing just a few feet away, her teary blue eyes fixed on him with an intensity that made his heart skip a beat. The children were with her, but his gaze was drawn only to Rosana—his Bambolina.In that moment, nothing else mattered. Not the questions, not the doubts, not the fears. All that

In the depths of Sergio's subconscious, he had heard a faint whisper that echoed through the darkness. It was a soft, insistent voice, a gentle tug on the seams of his mind."Papà!""Daddy, wake up!" "We want you to eat lunch with us!"The voice was like a ray of sunlight, piercing the fog that shrouded his awareness. His subconscious stirred, ever so slightly, as the twins' words resonated deep within him. The voice grew louder, urgent, and more like a chorus."Please, Daddy, wake up! We miss you! We miss sharing your favorite sandwich with you!"Sergio's subconscious began to stir, like a sleeping giant awakening from a deep slumber. Memories of laughter, sunny days, and family meals together began to surface, tantalizingly out of reach.The twins' voices grew more insistent, piercing the veil of his unconsciousness. "Daddy, we love you! Come back to us!"At that moment, something shifted deep within his mind. A spark of recognition. As he slowly emerged from the darkness, it felt
