As Antonio stood before his uncle Vito Valencio, the weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air. He had always looked up to Vito, admired him even. But now, as he stared into those cold, calculating eyes, he realized that everything he thought he knew about his uncle was a lie."I trusted you," Antonio said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Naive, just like your father."The mention of his father ignited a fire within Antonio, fueling his anger and determination. He would not let Vito's betrayal go unpunished – not after everything he had done."You killed him, didn't you?" Antonio accused, his voice trembling with emotion. "You murdered him in cold blood."Vito's smile widened, revealing rows of perfect white teeth. "And what if I did?" he taunted. "He was weak, a liability. I did what needed to be done to protec
