last update Last Updated: 2025-01-10 04:53:42

We left the mansion, the weight of our conversation heavy in the air between us. The drive to the warehouse was silent, both of us lost in our own thoughts. When we arrived, the scene before us was not what we had anticipated. The warehouse was eerily still, which made no sense. Matteo would always have his classical music playing.

Antonio and I exchanged a glance, and we both knew that something was wrong. The door was ajar, and the music was silent. The smell of blood hit me before I even stepped inside, a coppery tang that made my stomach lurch. My heart racing, I pushed the door open with my foot, and what we saw made my blood run cold.

Matteo lay in a pool of his own blood, his eyes open and unseeing, staring up at the ceiling. The sight of his lifeless body was a punch to the gut, a reminder of the brutal world we lived in. Antonio cursed under his breath, his hand reaching for his gun, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of movement.

"Where's George?" I demanded, my v

    The drive to the safe house was a blur of headlights and dark streets. I sat in the back, my eyes glued to the passing scenery, my thoughts were racing. I did not want to be anywhere without Joseph. I was also scared about his safety. Antonio said he had called ahead to ensure that Dante and a few of his most trusted men were already there, waiting for us. When we arrived, the safe house was about a quarter of the size of the estate. It was a simple house nestled in a quiet area. The lights were on, and I could see the silhouettes of men patrolling the perimeter as we pulled up to the garage. The garage door opened, and we drove inside. The door closed behind us, cutting off the outside world. Dante was waiting for us inside. His expression was tight, his eyes scanning the room as Antonio and I stepped out of the car. "Sir," he said, his voice gruff. "The house is secured." "Good," Antonio said, his eyes never leaving Selena. "Take her inside." Dante nodded, his expre

    Antonio met me at the warehouse after dropping off Selena. We both had known Matteo since we were children. Now I was going to have to call his mother and let her know what had happened to her son. The cleanup crew had already removed Matteo's body, leaving the room empty. The bloodstain on the floor was the only evidence of the brutal scene that had unfolded hours before. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic. "How could he do this?" I murmured, my eyes scanning the room. "He's desperate, Joseph," Antonio said, his voice tight. "He knows his power is slipping away." "I know he believes he should be Don instead of myself. But this is more than I would expect out of Salvatore." Antonio's eyes were hard, his jaw set. "You gave him too much rope," he said bluntly. "He's always been power-hungry. This is his way of showing you he won't be silenced." "He'll regret it," I vowed, my eyes dark. "He's just signed his own death warrant." Antonio nodded, his express

    “Selena," I said softly, approaching her. Her sobs grew louder as she turned to face me, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "You're here," she whispered, reaching out a hand. I sat down beside her, taking her hand in mine and bringing it to my lips for a gentle kiss. "I had to come," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I can't stay away from you." Selena sat up, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand. "I don't want you to stay away." I pulled her into my arms, holding her close. "I know, baby," I murmured into her hair. "What can I do to make things better for you?" "Just stay," she whispered, her voice muffled against my chest. "Stay with me." I nodded, stroking her hair. "I'll stay for a while," I said. "There are things that still need to be done." Selena leaned back, looking up at me with those beautiful eyes. "Make love to me, Joseph. Please." My heart skipped a beat, and I knew that was exactly what she needed. To feel loved and protected. I knew

    As the light of dawn began to peek through the curtains, I carefully extracted myself from Selena's embrace and dressed. I knew that I couldn't stay much longer, and the business of the Family beckoned. The gravity of our situation was too great to ignore, and the decisions I would make in the coming hours could mean life or death for those I cared about. I leaned over the bed, placing a tender kiss on Selena's forehead, and whispered, "I'll come back to you." The drive to the estate was a blur of thoughts and emotions. I knew Selena was safe for now, but the sense of unease lingered. The betrayal from within was a wound that cut deeper than any bullet could. As the gates came into view, I steeled myself for what was to come. The loyalty of the Family was being tested, and I had to ensure that those who had chosen to stand with me were rewarded, while those who had turned their backs faced the consequences. In the conference room, the Capos waited, their faces a mix of concern and

    As the meeting concluded, I couldn't shake the feeling that Selena and our unborn child were in more danger than ever before. The thought of her alone in the safe house with only Antonio and the guards for protection gnawed at me. I knew they were competent, but the stakes had never been higher. The very fabric of our Family was unraveling, and with it, the safety net that had been woven around her.The drive back to the safe house was a battle against the clock. Each red light, each traffic jam felt like a personal affront. The car's engine roared as I pushed it to its limits, the tires screeching as I pulled into the driveway. The guards outside snapped to attention as I emerged, their expressions a silent question. I nodded curtly, and they stepped aside to let me through.Selena was in the living room; she was crocheting a blanket. Her face was glowing, her hand resting protectively on her belly. The sight of her filled me with a fierce love and an even greater resolve to keep her

    The quiet was suddenly shattered by the sound of gunshots, echoing through the night. I bolted upright in bed, my heart racing. Selena's eyes snapped open, wide with terror. The sound was close, too close for comfort."Stay here," I barked, jumping out of bed and reaching for my gun.Selena's eyes were wide with terror, but she nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. I could see the fear in her eyes, but there was something else - trust. She trusted me to protect her, to keep her and our child safe.I pulled on my pants and shirt, not bothering with the holster. The gun felt cold and heavy in my hand as I moved silently through the house. The guards had been stationed outside, but the shots were much too close. They were supposed to be a deterrent, a warning of an incoming threat. But it seemed we had a breach.The house was eerily quiet, the only sound the distant echo of the shots that had woken us. I moved through the hallway, the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Th

    Working with Torres was not the most pleasant business, but now that I have Selena I can take over the Family as it should have been. Joseph will be dead before sun up. Selena was in and out of consciousness. I had instructed the men to drug her so she wouldn't cause trouble. I saw great fear in her eyes that only grew stronger as we approached the warehouse where Torres was waiting. "Please, Salvatore, just let me go." Selena's voice was faint, barely a whisper against the harsh roar of the truck's engine. She was bound in the backseat, her eyes swollen from crying and her face a mess of bruises. Despite the pain, she hadn't stopped begging for her freedom and for her baby's life. "Shut up," one of the men yelled, his grip on her arm tightening. Selena winced but didn't stop pleading. "Please, I'll do anything." I turned in my seat to face her. "You've done enough already," I said, my voice cold as ice. "Your little act of playing house with Joseph, thinking you could be pa

    The next thing I knew, I was being shaken awake by rough hands. My eyes snapped open to find myself in a cold, dimly lit room. The smell of antiseptic and blood hung in the air, and the pain in my chest was a constant, pulsing throb. Antonio hovered above me, his face etched with concern. "Boss, you're alive," he exclaimed, relief flooding his voice. I coughed, my chest burning with every breath. "Selena," I rasped, my eyes searching the room. "Where is she?" Antonio's expression darkened. "They took her, Boss. Salvatore had her taken." Rage boiled in my chest, the pain momentarily forgotten. "Where?" I demanded, struggling to sit up. "We don't know yet. By the time I got here, everyone was gone. Dante is the only one to survive and he is still in surgery." The room was spinning, and I felt my consciousness slipping away. "Find her," I managed to say before the world went dark again. When I came to, the room was brighter, and the smell of antiseptic was stronger. I was

    The ride back to the city was a blur. My thoughts raced with the fear for Selena and the twins, and the anger at the audacity of the Sicilians to invade my home. My grip tightened on the gun in my hand, the cold metal grounding me as we sped through the early morning streets. When we arrived at the house, it was a scene of chaos. Men in black suits swarmed the property, their faces twisted in rage. "Take them down," I ordered my men, and the night air was filled with the roar of gunfire. The battle was intense, the sound of bullets whizzing by, the smell of gunpowder stinging our nostrils. We fought with everything we had, our loyalty to the Family fueling our every move. The Sicilian mafia was formidable, but they had underestimated our determination. As we pushed through the house, I could hear Selena's cries for help, echoing through the halls like a siren's call. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a drum of rage and fear. We found the panic room, the door splintered

    The capos looked at each other, their expressions a mix of anger and sadness. The room was thick with tension, and I could feel the anticipation building like a storm about to break. "You both leave me no choice," I continued, my voice hard as steel. "For the crimes you have committed against the Rossi Family, I hereby sentence you to death." Vincenzo's smirk fell, and for the first time, fear flickered in his eyes. "You don't have the guts," he murmured. "You're wrong," I said, my voice cold and unwavering. "I have more than enough." With a nod to my most trusted capo, the two men were forced to their knees, the blindfolds secured tightly over their eyes. They had no idea what was coming, and that was the way it had to be. The room was silent. The only light came from a single bulb swinging overhead, casting shadows across the concrete floor. I stepped closer to Vincenzo, my hand reaching for the gun at my side. "This is your last chance," I whispered. "Confess your si

    Eleven hours later, I had Vincenzo and Salvatore back in New York. I had called ahead for all of the Capos to meet. This is the first Il bacio della morte (kiss of death) that I have seen in my lifetime. I had heard rumors of a few during my grandfather's reign as Don, but none since. The jet's engines wound down to a quiet purr, and the door opened, letting in the cold night air. The two traitors stumbled out, bruised and beaten but still alive. The other capos had arrived, and they watched in silence as Vincenzo and Salvatore were brought before them. "This is not how we do things," one of the capos spoke up, his voice filled with disgust. "This is not our way." "Our way is to protect our Family," I said, my tone leaving no room for debate. "And they," I nodded towards Vincenzo and Salvatore, "have betrayed us all." The capos murmured among themselves, but I could see the understanding in their eyes. They knew what had to be done. They knew the gravity of the situation.

    Vittoria's smile was knowing. "There's always a catch," she said. "But I believe our interests align, Joseph. For now, let us focus on the task at hand." The plan was simple yet risky. We would strike at night, when the guards were least expecting it. We would have to be swift and precise, leaving no room for error. Antonio and my men nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. "We leave at dusk," I told them. "Be ready." The hours ticked by, each one feeling like a year as we waited for nightfall. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we made our way to the warehouse where the shipment was rumored to be hidden. The tension was palpable as we approached, our footsteps silent on the cobblestone streets. The warehouse was a fortress, surrounded by armed men. But we had the element of surprise and a map of the premises provided by Vittoria's spies. We moved with the shadows, our eyes peeled for any signs of danger. Inside, the air was thi

    That night, I went to our room, where Selena was cradling Isabella and Michael. They were both fast asleep, their tiny chests rising and falling in unison. Selena looked up at me, her eyes filled with love and warmth. "Selena, I have to leave for Sicily tomorrow," I said, my voice thick with dread. Her eyes widened in shock, and she sat up straighter. "Why?" she asked, her grip on the babies tightening. "We have to find Salvatore and put an end to this," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "Vincenzo has been working with him. They think I'm dead, so I have the element of surprise." Selena's eyes searched mine, a mix of fear and confusion. "But what about us? The babies? Why can't we come with you?" I sighed heavily, stroking her cheek. "It's too dangerous for you and the twins," I explained. "This is something I have to do alone. But I promise I will come back to you." Selena's eyes filled with tears, and she leaned into my touch. "I don't want you to go," she

    George swallowed hard, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for a way out. "Salvatore has a mole," he began, his voice low. "Someone inside the Family has been feeding him information." My heart skipped a beat. A mole? This was new information. "Who?" George smirked, enjoying the power of his words. "Someone you trust." My mind raced through the members of the Family, trying to pinpoint who could be capable of such treachery. "You need to be more specific," I growled. He leaned back in his chair, his chains rattling against the metal frame. "Someone very close to you," he taunted. "Someone who has access to your every move and decision." I felt a knot form in my stomach. Could it be one of my own? Someone who had been by my side all these years? "Name them," I demanded, my voice like thunder. George took a deep breath, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "It's your uncle," he said, watching my reaction closely. "Vincenzo Rossi." The room seemed to

    "I need to go deal with George," I said, reluctance heavy in my voice. Selena nodded, her eyes filled with understanding. "I know," she whispered. "But promise me one thing." "Anything," I said, kissing her forehead. "Promise me that you will make him pay for what he did to me and my mother," Selena's voice was barely a whisper, her eyes pleading. I tightened my hold on her, feeling her pain. "I promise," I said, my voice filled with resolve. "He will pay for his sins. He will never harm you or our family again." With a final, lingering kiss, I pulled away from Selena and dressed, my thoughts already racing to the task at hand. Having to deal with George was inevitable, but now it had a new edge of personal vendetta. I knew Selena's history with her father, and I knew the kind of man he was. The thought of him anywhere near our children angered me. As I walked through the quiet halls of the estate, I couldn't help but feel a sense of victory and relief. We had him. The man who h

    The next few days were a blur of strategy and tension. We moved from the bunker to a safe house in the countryside, far from the prying eyes of the city. The twins were blissfully unaware of what was going on around them, cooing and crying and filling our lives with a love that made the darkness outside feel a little less overwhelming. I have always had the Family to fight for but now I had more to fight for - Selena and our children. "Antonio, what's your opinion on our next move?" I asked, pacing the living room of the safe house, my eyes never leaving the baby monitor. Selena was finally asleep. The love I feel for this woman is more than I had ever expected to happen. Antonio looked up from the map he was studying. "We need to draw him out," he said, tapping a spot on the map with a thick finger. "He won't come to us willingly." "Agreed," I said, my eyes narrowing. "But how?" Antonio leaned back in his chair, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "We need bait he can't resist. Som

    Chapter 75 - The Rat is in the Trap The day of the meeting arrived, the tension in the air was thick as we drove back to the city. Selena held my hand tightly in the car, her knuckles white with fear. I knew she was scared, but she was also strong. She had been through so much, and she had always come out on the other side. As we approached the estate, I could see the guards' eyes widen as they recognized Selena. She looked beautiful, dressed in all black, her eyes lined with dark makeup to hide the puffiness from the lack of sleep. The sight of her, looking so fierce, made me want to kiss her, to tell her everything would be okay. But this was not the time for romance. This was the time for war. "Remember, Selena, you're in charge. Play it cool. I will be watching on the cameras, but Antonio will be close by if you need him." Her nod was firm, and she took a deep breath, her hand tightening around mine. We stepped into the living room, and there was no mistaking the malicious
