"I'm coming, Dad," I shouted back, my voice laced with reluctance.Reluctance to face the life that was thrust upon me, where my own desires were overshadowed by the demands of my father's mafia empire.Dragging my feet, I made my way downstairs, the weight of the impending meeting pressing down on my shoulders.

His name reverberated through the echelons of the mafia, accompanied by whispers of fear.Every conversation seemed to orbit around him, an unspoken understanding that his power knew no bounds.Bruno Antonio, a man whose very name commanded respect, tinged with a perfect dose of fear and intimidation. It was said that his wealth knew no limits, his influence stretching far and wide, like a sprawling empire within the vast landscapes of Texas. He controlled territories that spanned from the bustling streets of Houston to the desolate plains of El Paso, a web of power that ensnared all who dared to challenge him.Drug deals, smuggling, and illicit trades danced beneath his watchful gaze.

This five-star haven exuded luxury from every corner, its grandeur befitting the elite guests who would grace its halls tonight.Stepping out of the sleek black limousine, I wasn't sure if I still wanted to attend the party after the intense conversation with Bruno.No matter what he said, his intention was clearly to implant fear into my heart, and I couldn't say he quite failed.This event, organized by Bruno but executed by one of his trusted associates, aimed to raise funds for orphanages, an unlikely cause for a man known for his ruthlessness.Yet, deep within his hardened exterior, Bruno found a flicker of compassion, a connection to the struggles he had faced in his own upbringing.The hotel's entrance gleamed with polished marble, reflecting the warm g

Chapter 4: Los Sombrosos

The room was shrouded in an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of labored breathing and the occasional drip of water. Dimly lit by a single, swinging bulb, the space exuded an atmosphere of desperation and impending doom.Nicolas' eyes were filled with fury, anger, and determination as he stood before the captured man."Who sent you?" Nicolas bellowed, his voice laced with an unforgiving edge. The man before him was beaten and bloodied as he struggled against his restraints, defiance etched on his face. It had been a grueling week for Nicolas, a relentless pursuit to uncover the truth behind the attack that threatened Bruno's empire and our lives two weeks ago.The captive's eyes darted from Nicolas to me as I was there to watch and see firsthand what Bruno did to people who cross him.

Chapter 6: Shadows of Deception

Chapter 6: Shadows of Deception"Don't hate the sinner, but the sin."My dad was not a good man, but he tried to instill in me some life lessons and how to live life.

Chapter 7: Unveiling My Hidden Skills"A new day starts with darkness. We should learn to start new beginnings using our darkest side. Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. Learn to make things go your way. The weak don't survive here." I think my dad should have been a psychology professor or something like that. Every morning before I started my day, I always remembered one of the quotes he always said to me. Well, life has its way of dealing with me. That was why I was so tired right now to leave my room. In the aftermath of the turmoil that had consumed our lives, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden talents that would transform me into a formidable force.

Chapter 8: The Mole Within

Chapter 8: The Mole Within"Come on, Picco, don't feel sad when you fail or see yourself as weak. You just have to keep looking ahead and question yourself. Then you'll get to know your true purpose. The power in you is greater than what you think. You're born to conquer this world, not to be a pawn in it.”Now, I understand better why my dad always said that to me. The revelation of my hidden skills brought about a transformation within Bruno's empire, but it also cast a spotlight on the treacherous path we were in. The power I now wield had not gone unnoticed, and the hunt for the traitor within our ranks intensified. Nicolas and I had a deal—he doesn't kill me and I help him bring Bruno down. It was a deal I was reluctant to keep because I still needed Bruno by my side for now. As days went on, suspicion grew like a poisonous vine, intertwining with every interaction, and the once solid bonds of trust became fragile threads threatening to unravel at any moment.The unveiling of

Chapter 9: Confronting Truth "You're the only one who can sincerely question or judge yourself." Being in constant denial of the truth has always been the story of my life since I started to stay with Bruno. The thoughts of betraying him left a lingering sense of unease within me. I keep being anxious and worried that one day he will find out what I have been up to and how I always go to see Luca every day."Are you alright?" Luca asked looking at me straight in the eyes. Luca is one person that always reads me and somehow knows what I need at the moment or maybe he can sense something is wrong. Even though he doesn't know the right word to say, he always does something to make me feel a bit better."I don't know, I feel dizzy," I replied"Are you feeling low blood pressure? Do you want to get some food and water?" he asked, extremely worried.As I looked at him, I saw how adorable and lovely he was. I couldn't stress him more by saying no."Of course, please get me something. I'm s

Chapter 10: Luca's Dark Secret"I wonder if we can run away from our past or if it keeps coming back to haunt us. Trying to demise everything we've done to forget it. Yeah, I guess I will find out."As I looked at Luca, I could hear my heart pounding so loudly. It was as if I had a gun pointed at me and I was made to watch my Dad being killed right in front of me. This feeling was the worst I ever had in a while.It was a feeling I dreaded for weeks now. Ever since I first found out his secret. I have tried to forget about it, to pretend that it didn't exist. But it was always there, in the back of my mind, a dark cloud that threatened to rain on our happiness."Luca," I said, my voice trembling. "I need to know the truth. I need to hear it from you, so tell me. Is it true?"He sighed and looked down at his hands. "I know," he said. "I should have told you from the beginning."He took a deep breath and began to tell me his story. He told me about his childhood, about growing up in th
