The study was softly illuminated, permeated with the exquisite scent of matured wine, while Sergio and his nephew, Marcus, were seated facing each other, gently tapping their glasses together.

Marcus leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. "Your plan to hire Killshot was brilliant, Uncle. How did you even come up with the plan to use the orphanage caretaker to get to Kill Shot."

Sergio swirled the deep red liquid in his glass, his gaze fixed on the dancing light. "Well, it was actually that lowly man, Pedro Gonzalo, who helped me realize the potential of this scheme."

Marcus's brow furrowed in surprise. " yeah, I heard Luca interrogated someone who was in cahoots with the caretaker. But how could a man of little importance contribute to your grand plan?"

Sergio let out a soft chuckle. "Ah! You see, Pedro didn't know of the role he was playing in all of this. He used to work for the Mexican cartel, just like he does now – a mere foot soldier in their ranks."

    The air in Dominic's office grew thick with tension as Sierra's confession hung in the air. Dominic's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening with barely contained fury."Are you telling me that the man who killed Pedro, a former member of the Mexican cartel, is someone you've been intimate with?" Dominic's voice was low and menacing, each word dripping with barely restrained anger.“It was long before I met you, I swear.” Sierra swallowed hard, her gaze darting between Dominic and Luca. "I... I'm certain it's the same Jomari. I recognized him in the photo Isla showed me."Luca leaned forward, his mouth barely containing his laughter. "What!”. Luca’s laughter filled the roo. “Oh, our sweet, timid, and innocent Sierra. What you are trying to tell us is that you have slept with this man before "Dominic's fist slammed down on the desk, making everyone in the room jump. "Unacceptable! Is this the kind of life you lived before, a life of a whore." He said, sending a fiery gaze to Sierra.

    Sierra jumped at the sound of knocking but quickly pulled herself together and opened the door to see Dominic standing there, looking pretty pleased with himself."Remember, Sierra, this is our bedroom, not just yours," Dominic said, a bit of a warning in his voice. "Lock that door again, and you'll really see my wrath."Sierra felt a flutter in her heart and struggled to swallow. "I….am sorry, Dominic. "I assure you, it will not happen again," she stuttered, with her voice shaking just a bit.Dominic's face became gentler as he gently rested his hand on his desk. "Good. I need you to take this mission seriously, this might be your only way of showing me you are dedicated to me and the Rinaldi family."Sierra nodded, eyes fixed on Dominic. She answered quickly yet timidly"Of, course."Dominic started recalling the problems they were having with the Philippine gang in their territory. "I need you to find out what they're up to and where they are. And we can only do that if we capture s

    Isla, Sierra, and Luca sat in the privacy of Luca's quarters, the tension palpable as they discussed their plan."Are you sure about this, Sierra?" Isla asked, her brow furrowed with concern. "Reaching out to the Asian guard's friend, Nathan, could be incredibly risky."Sierra took a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly. "I don't have a choice, Isla. Dominic wants information on the Philippine gang, and this is the only way I can think of to get close to them without putting myself in too much danger."Luca agreed, looking solemn. “This is a risky decision, but if we handle it properly, it might end up benefiting us. Nathan already knows you, since you both have history, and he will be more inclined to relax if he believes he has another opportunity to be with you.”Sierra swallowed nervously, her eyes moving back and forth between Isla and Luca. Her voice trembled as she whispered, "I am scared. What if Nathan figures out that this is a trap? What will happen to me?”Isla gave S

    The room was flooded with Rinaldi men as they surrounded every corner of the room. All with a gun in their hand. Luca stood behind Dominic, who was draped in a black turtle neck and plaid trousers. Nathan froze the second he saw Dominic walk in. His grip on Sierra's neck loosened, and he started stammering. "Mr. D-Don... I mean, Mr. Rinaldi, I-I didn't realize—"Dominic raised a hand, cutting Nathan off. "Quite, you sorry excuse for a man. You couldn’t even think for a second that this could have been a trap." He glanced at Sierra, a nasty smile spreading across his face. Sierra had no idea Dominic was going to be here.Sierra's voice shook as she tried to speak, her heart racing. "Y-yes, Dominic. I was just trying to get information on the Philippine gang, like you asked."Dominic nodded, his face giving nothing away. "Good. Looks like you've done well." He turned back to Nathan, his eyes narrowing. "Now, Mr. Nathan, I've got a proposition for you."Nathan swallowed hard, sweat start

    The tension in the Limousine was palpable as it came to a stop in front of a warehouse. Nathan led Dominic and his fleet of over fifty men, to the Philippine gang's hideout. He sits across from Dominic and Luca and three other men sit beside him with one pointing a gun to his lower abdomen. Sierra and Isla trailed behind in a brown sedan, both anxious about the impending confrontation. Dominic ordered them to tag along.As they neared the rundown warehouse, Nathan's heartbeat grew faster and he looked at Dominic with a worried expression on his face. "This is it, Mr. Rinaldi," he muttered in a low voice. “The main headquarters of the Philippine gang.”Dominic squinted his eyes and carefully examined the building. "Great job, Mr. Nathan." I have to admit, I'm impressed by your... composer in this plan of mine.”Nathan took a deep breath, feeling the gravity of Dominic's words weighing heavily on his mind. He stuttered, "I'm just taking the necessary steps to safeguard my life. But sir

    The office was dimly lit, shadows creeping along the walls as the setting sun cast long beams through the narrow windows. The air was thick with the scent of incense, a familiar yet unsettling aroma for most who entered the mid-sized office building. This was the headquarters of the Japanese gang. In the office sits Kim, the leader of the Japanese gang, his personal bodyguard, and Mr. Anderson who was a prolific politician and the current mayor of the city of Philadelphia. Kim's laughter echoed through the room, a chilling sound that sent shivers down Mr. Anderson's spine. He tried to mask his unease, but the sweat trickling down his temple betrayed him.Kim had entered a business deal with Mr. Anderson, so the mayor could use the Japanese gang as his goons to win elections or eliminate competitors, as long as he made sure to protect them from the Claytons, whose side of the city the Japanese gang were located in."Mr. Anderson," Kim's voice cut through the laughter, "you seem worried

    Vanekan burst into Dominic's office, his face a mask of fury. The door slammed against the wall, making everyone inside jump."Why the hell am I being ordered to organize and coordinate the ball?" Vanekan's voice was a low growl.Enzo, standing near Dominic's desk, straightened up. He was displeased by his distant uncle Vanekan's approach and tone in which he used to speak to their Don. "Uncle, you shouldn't speak to our Don like that."Before anyone could react, Vanekan's hand shot out and slapped Enzo across the face, the sound echoing in the tense silence. Enzo staggered, his cheek already reddening."Who do you think you are, talking to me that way? Uh, have you forgotten your place, you little rat”. He grabbed Enzo's collar, pulling him close. "I'll send you back to wherever your mother dragged you from if you ever speak to me like that again.""Uncle, that's enough," Dominic's voice was calm but firm.Vanekan and Dominic locked eyes, a silent battle of wills.

    Isla paced back and forth in the dimly lit study, her mind racing with thoughts of Nathan. She is still adamant about her plan to get close to Nathan, who she believes is still hiding something. Just like Dominic, Isla does not truly believe the Philippines were the benefactor of the child trafficking ring. She goes to Luca, her brother, and informs him of her plan.Luca had told her about all his findings about the Philippine gang and that, based on all the evidence he had gathered, they were the ones responsible for the child trafficking. He also told her about Dominic’s doubts. She stopped abruptly and turned to Luca, who lounged casually in an armchair."I have to agree with Dominic on this, Luca. I don’t believe the Philippine gang is behind all this trafficking, they seemed too clumsy, and the evidence was too easy to gather.” Isla said as she stood in the middle of the study with her hands on her hips.Luca responded vehemently, “Oh come on Isla, not you too? The issue is over.

We need to split up."Luca nodded, his expression serious. "Agreed. I'll head to the west wing. If the guards were telling the truth I need to stop this shooting."Enzo's eyes widened with concern. "You can't go alone, Luca. Take some men with you, just in case."Luca shook his head firmly. "No, Enzo. We don't know who we can trust among our guards.

Something's seriously wrong."Sierra nodded, her mind racing. "Agreed. Let's stay close to him for the rest of the night. We can't afford any more surprises."They moved back towards Nathan, who was trying—and failing—to compose himself.

If you need to talk, we're listening."Nathan swallowed hard, his face pale. He was still apprehensive of Isla. He knew all too well that she only brought him to the ball so she could get clo

Marcus asked.Sergio replied, a grim smile playing on his lips as he texted. "She did. But we have to move quickly. Dominic won't be fooled for long."Marcus's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He says "What about Ferdinand?""He's ready," Sergio replied. "We just need the right moment."As Luca patrolled the mansion, his thoughts kept returning to Enzo and Isla. “Where could they be?” He said as his worry grew with each passing minute.A man passes him by, his demeanor is cold as ice and as their shoulders graze each other, the stranger says “Sorry mister”, and he continues his path down the hall. The man was wearing a black hat that was covering his face. Luca grew suspicious but

"What a surprise. Why are you sneaking around?"Isla straightened, her eyes darting between around the room. "Really that's what you have to say. Why did you drag me into this room, with your hands over my mouth”.“I am sorry dear but I thought you were a spy,” Sergio said with a fake sympathetic look on his face.“I saw you leave the ballroom.

Their arrival cast a shadow over the celebration, and a palpable sense of unease spread among the guests."Well, if it isn't the Morgan brothers," sneered an older gentleman, his drink sloshing slightly in his hand."Surprised to see us, Mr. Halloway?"
