In the hallway, Antonio was waiting for me, his expression serious. "We need to handle this, Joseph" he said without hesitation. "Salvatore is dangerous. He won't let this go easily."

We moved into the study, the door clicking shut behind us. Antonio poured us both a whiskey, sliding one over to me before taking a seat opposite.

"What's the plan?" I asked, my voice tight with tension.

Antonio leaned back in his chair, his eyes thoughtful. "We need to tread carefully," he warned. "Salvatore is not just any member of the family. He's your right-hand man, your consigliere. If we move too quickly, we could cause damage within the Family."

I nodded, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on my shoulders. "What do you suggest?" I took a sip of the amber liquid, feeling the burn as it slid down my throat.

Antonio leaned forward, his gaze intense. "We need to find out what he's after," he said, his voice measured. "What does he stand to gain by undermining your marriage to S

    I found Selena in our bedroom, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She was sitting by the window, her gaze lost in the distance. "Selena," I called softly, and she turned to face me, her eyes searching my face for comfort. "Are you okay?" I asked, moving towards her and wrapping my arms around her trembling body. She leaned into my embrace, and I felt her shoulders heave as she took a deep, shaky breath. "I don't know," she murmured, her voice small and defeated. "This is all just so much to take in." I held her closer, my heart aching for her. "I know, baby. But I'm here for you." "What happens now?" she whispered. "Antonio and I are handling things. I don't want you to worry. All I ask of you is that you do as I ask when it comes to your safety. You will have a protection detail every time you leave the house. I would prefer to go with you but if not, you are to never be alone." Selena nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. "I'll do whatever yo

    When I got into the car, Selena was shaking. "It's okay, baby," I assured her, my voice calm despite the anger still coursing through my veins. "You're safe." I pulled her onto my lap and held her tight. She held onto me for dear life. "I am so sorry that our time out was ruined. I wanted today to be special for you." "It's not your fault," Selena mumbled against my chest, her voice muffled by my shirt. "It's just... I don't know if I can do this." "Do what?" I asked, stroking her hair soothingly. Selena took a shaky breath. "Be the kind of wife you need. I don't know if I can handle it, Joseph. You deserve so much better." I pulled back to look into her eyes. "You are exactly what I need, Selena. You are strong, beautiful, and smart. You are more than enough for me." "But I don't know this world," she said, her voice trembling. "I'm just a girl from the Bronx. I don't know how to be a mafia wife." "You don't have to be anyone but yourself," I said, my thumb brush

    Gently, I picked Selena up and carried her upstairs to our bedroom. The house was silent except for the occasional sound of a clock ticking. A simple meal out had turned into something that I wanted to protect her from. When we reached the bedroom, I laid her down on the bed, her body feeling so light and fragile in my arms. I removed her shoes and her dress, leaving her in her underwear. I pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, so different from the fear I had seen in her eyes earlier. I felt a fierce protectiveness wash over me, a desire to keep her safe from all the monsters in this world, especially the ones that came with my line of work. As I looked at her, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Love, anger, and fear all battled within me. I was torn between wanting to hold her tight and never letting go, and the need to go out and tear Torres limb from limb for daring to come near her. But I knew that Selena needed this

    Seeing Selena so vulnerable and scared cuts into my soul. Antonio hovered in the doorway; his eyes filled with concern. "Is she okay?" "It was a nightmare," I told him, my voice tight. "Torres invading our personal space today... it's got her spooked." Antonio's gaze darkened. "We need to find a way to deal with this permanently." "We will," I assured him. "But first, we need to find out if there's more to his visit than just posturing. There might be something we're missing." Antonio nodded. "I'll get on it. But, Joseph," he said, his voice low. "You know what you might have to do." The unspoken words hung in the air. The implication was clear: if Torres continued to pose a threat, the only way to ensure Selena's safety might be to eliminate him. It was a harsh reality of our world, but one that I had to consider for the sake of my new wife. "Antonio, find George Mariani for me. I need to figure out if he has anything to do with this. He has been laying low ever since I

    The night grew later as Antonio, and his men searched the city for any trace of Selena's mother. I couldn't sit still, pacing the floor of the office as I awaited word. My mind raced with thoughts of Selena, of what she might think when she learned the truth. Would she feel betrayed? Would she understand that she was loved that she was mine now? There was a knock at my office door. Antonio was good, but I didn't think he would have information this quickly. "Enter." The door to my office opens, and Selena walks in, her eyes filled with mix of exhaustion and concern. She was in a silky white night gown that hugged her curves perfectly. "What is it, baby?" Her eyes searched the room, looking for something she couldn't quite find. "I miss my husband" she confessed, her voice small and trembling. "I just needed to see you." The sight of her, standing there in the doorway, looking so lost and alone, broke through the storm cloud of rage that had been brewing inside me. I set my

    The next morning, the ringing of my phone pierced the silence of our room. I felt Selena's grip tighten around me as I reached for it. I could feel the tension grow in my body as I read the message. "Everything okay?" "Yes, my love. I need to meet with Antonio. I had him looking into a situation for me. Stay in bed as long as you like. I will have the cook prepare us breakfast out on the patio later." The message from Antonio had been brief and cryptic, but the urgency was clear. He had found something about Selena's mother. I couldn't help the feeling of dread that settled in my stomach. What if she had been part of this mess all along? What if Selena's conception was more than just a one-time fling? The questions swirled in my head as I dressed and headed downstairs to the office. Antonio was already waiting for me, his face a mask of tension. He handed me a file without a word. I opened it and scanned the contents, my heart racing with each piece of information. Her mother'

    Selena remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around us. She deserved happiness, even if it was only for a brief moment. I had to protect her from the ugliness of the truth, at least for now. But as the day went on, I knew I couldn't keep the secret much longer. The weight of it was crushing me. We had a quiet breakfast on the patio, as I had promised her. Selena talked about her dreams for the future, her eyes shining with hope. I listened, my heart breaking with each word. How could I tell her that her mother had been taken from her in such a brutal way? She believed her mother had walked out on her and that was so far from the truth. After we finished eating, I took her hand and led her back to our room. "There's something I need to tell you, Selena," I said, my voice heavy. Her smile faded, and she searched my face for answers. "What is it?" I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation ahead. "What did your father tell you about your mother?" Sele

    I left Selena in the care of Dante, one of my most trusted men. He had strict instructions not to let her out of his sight and to report back to me immediately if she needed anything. With a heavy heart, I made my way to the garage, my mind racing with the possibilities of who could have been involved in Arianna's murder. The thought of Selena's mother suffering such a fate at the hands of someone I knew made me see red. There was also the issue of Gabriel Tucci's murder. It had been a supposed drive-by shooting, but now with the knowledge of his affair with Selena's mother, could the two incidents be related. Gabriel was up and coming in the ranks of the family. My father had been grooming him to take over for my uncle. Salvatore was greedy for the position of Don, but since I was the only son, the position was to be mine as my birthright. I got into the car and dialed Antonio. "What have you found?" "I'm still digging, but I've got a few leads," he said, his voice grim. "The n

    As the sun rose, we made our escape, Lorenzo bound and gagged in the trunk of the car. The city was waking up, oblivious to the war that had ravaged its underbelly through the night. The ride to the airport was tense, each of us lost in our thoughts. For Selena, it was grief and anger. For me, it was the need to end this nightmare and bring peace to our family.The aircraft was a stark contrast to the chaos we left behind—sleek, white, and gleaming. We boarded, Lorenzo still bound, surrounded by my most trusted men. The flight to Sicily was long and silent, the weight of our mission hanging over us like a dark cloud.The DeAngelo were waiting for us as the jet's engines roared to a halt. Their eyes fell on Lorenzo, and I could see the fury boiling beneath their calm exteriors. They knew the gravity of his treachery, the depth of the wound he had inflicted on our alliance. "Welcome home," Don De Angelos said, his voice cold as ice. "We have been waiting for this day."We escorted Loren

    As dawn broke, the house was alive with the sound of preparations. The Capos had arrived, each one a grim reminder of the battle ahead. They whispered in hushed tones, their eyes filled with a silent vow to avenge my attempted murder. Antonio approached, his expression a mix of determination and sorrow. "It's time," he said simply, handing me a gun.The journey to Lorenzo's compound was a blur of adrenaline and rage. The streets of New York were a canvas of shadows and neon, the city's heartbeat pulsating through the car's windows. We were a convoy of darkness, a formidable force closing in on our prey. The compound loomed ahead, a fortress of concrete and steel, surrounded by a wall that seemed to taunt us with its impenetrability. But we had a plan, and we had the element of surprise.As we approached, the quiet was shattered by the roar of engines and the squeal of tires. The gates of the compound exploded in a shower of sparks and metal as we crashed through, guns blazing. The air

    When the plan finally landed in Chicago, I was completely numb. How was I supposed to the raise the children without him? How was I going to survive without Joseph? When I saw him pushed into that water, a part of me drowned with him. But as the plane touched down, the reality of my situation slapped me across the face. I had to be strong for Isabella and Michael. They were my world now, and I had to keep them safe, just as Joseph had wanted. The airport was a blur of faces and noises, but all I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the echo of his final words. I found Dante waiting for me, his expression a mix of relief and sorrow. "I can't believe it," he said, his voice thick with emotion as he enveloped me in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Rossi." I nodded, my eyes glassy with unshed tears. "Thank you for watching over the babies," I murmured, my voice barely audible. Dante led me to a black SUV, the tinted windows ensuring our privacy. Inside, the twins were

    As we pulled up to the safe house, the headlights cut through the night, illuminating the tension etched into the faces of my men waiting outside. They had heard the news and knew the gravity of our situation. I could see the question in their eyes—what now? "Spread the word," I instructed Antonio as I stepped out of the car, my teeth chattering from the cold. "All Capos need to be here by dawn. We're ending this." Antonio nodded, his gaze serious. "I'll handle it," he said before disappearing into the night. The warmth of the shower did little to thaw the ice that had formed around my heart. The water pounded against my skin, but it was the images of Selena's distraught face and the twins' innocent eyes that haunted me. I had to be strong for them, had to keep the promise I had made. I had to end Lorenzo's reign of terror. As I stepped out, a towel wrapped around my waist, the cold air in the bathroom was a stark reminder of the icy waters that had almost claimed my life.

    Now that Selena was heading out of town, I had to figure out what had happened to Joseph. I believe she saw him getting pushed into the water, but I will not accept that Joseph Rossi is dead until I see a body. I called my most trusted men, the ones that had been with me through thick and thin. We had to move fast. The docks were going to be a war zone if we didn't get to Lorenzo before he had a chance to regroup. As we approached the river's edge, my heart raced, thinking of my friend and his family. The thought of Selena and those babies alone in the world without him was unbearable. We had to find him. The water was a dark, ominous presence, reflecting the moon's glow in a macabre dance of light and shadow. My men fanned out, searching the banks with flashlights, their faces grim with the gravity of the task at hand. We had to find Joseph before it was too late. A splash, faint but unmistakable, broke the silence. My head snapped towards the sound, and I saw a figure strugglin

    The water's icy embrace was a stark reminder of the promise I had made to Joseph. If something like this ever happened, if our world came crumbling down around us, I was to leave and protect our twins. The weight of his words from our last conversation bore into me, a promise that felt like a noose tightening around my neck. As I watched the dark river swallow him whole, the air left my lungs. The world around me grew hazy, the sounds of the city muffled by the roaring in my ears. I knew what I had to do, but the thought of leaving him, leaving this fight, was unbearable. Tears streamed down my face, mixing with the salty breeze. I took a step back, my body screaming to run to him, to save him. But the promise I had made to Joseph weighed heavily on my heart. He had made me swear to protect our children, no matter what happened. And now, as I stood there, my feet rooted to the spot, I knew that I had to honor that promise. With a final, desperate look at the churning river, I turn

    Joseph should have been back by now. It has been two hours since we talked. I feel so helpless. I can't sit still in this house any longer, not knowing what's happening out there. I can't ignore the fear gnawing at my stomach, the cold sweat on my palms. I have to do something. Grabbing my phone, I dial Marco's number, praying for an answer. It rings once, twice, three times—then, finally, a crackling sound, followed by his labored breath. "Marco? Where are you?" "Selena...I'm...hurt," he gasps. "We need...help." My heart skips a beat. "Where are you?" I demand, fear lacing every word. Marco's voice is weak, but determined. "The warehouse...Lorenzo...got Joseph." My world spins as the words hit me like a sledgehammer. "No," I whisper, the reality of the situation crashing down on me. "Where are you?" "Alley," he manages to say, before the line goes dead. The weight of the silence is suffocating, my thoughts racing with fear. I can't lose Joseph. I won't. With t

    Marco's footsteps grew heavier, his breathing more labored. "Boss," he grunted, "I can't go much farther." I knew we had to find a way out—for him, for Selena, for our twins. I scanned the room, searching for an exit, a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Then, I spotted it: a faint light seeping through a cracked door at the far end of the warehouse. "Marco, hold on," I whispered, my eyes never leaving the light. "We're going to get out of here." We stumbled towards the light, bullets whizzing by like angry bees. The pain in my side grew more intense with every step, but I pushed through it, adrenaline coursing through my veins. We reached the door, and I kicked it open, revealing a dimly lit alleyway. The cold air hit us like a slap in the face, but it was the sweetest relief. Marco leaned against the wall, his face pale and sweaty. "We did it," he panted, his voice tinged with disbelief. But our victory was short-lived. The alley was a dead end, and the sound of footst

    The world around us stilled, the echo of gunfire fading into the distance. His men had ceased their pursuit, their eyes locked on their leader's prize. I could feel the weight of his gun pressing into my back, the cold steel a reminder of the power he held over me. "Drop the gun, Joseph," Lorenzo ordered, his voice low and dangerous. "Or I'll make sure Selena watches you bleed out." My heart skipped a beat at the thought of Selena in danger. I knew I couldn't risk it. With a heavy sigh, I released my grip on the weapon, letting it clatter to the ground. The sound seemed to resonate through the alleyway, a symbol of my defeat. Or so Lorenzo thought. "Good boy," he said, his grip loosening slightly. "Now, let's go for a little walk." He dragged me through the alley, the cold steel of his pistol digging into my side. I had to find a way out of this. "Lorenzo," I said, keeping my voice calm, "You don't have to do this. We can end this now." He sneered in response, pullin
