Angelo's confession

Chapter 71

Matteo's POV

"We need to go have a bloody retribution against the Camorra or they'll think that we are weak. How could they kidnap and torture our Capo and consigliere without us taking a fucking revenge?" Vincenzo argued with the underbosses.

Francesco glanced at me but my face remained stoic as ever. I couldn't even concentrate as I kept thinking of Aurora and how she was doing. I was supposed to hate her and my brother too for betraying me, but I couldn't find it in my heart to do so.

Love was a weakness that I wasn't supposed to afford but here I was loving the woman that I should hate. Love made my father a sadist and made Aurora an orphan, but I could do better.

My attention was drawn back to the meeting by the angry yells that slipped from the mouths of the underbosses. Their faces were scrunched up in rage and with the clenching of their fists, I thought that they would go physical against themselves.

"It's enough! Damn it!" I barked, causing them to keep quiet
