BREAKING NEWS“This just in ... Armand Lombardo, the sole heir of the Lombardo - Montenero dynasty, was reportedly awakened from a nearly 6-month coma.He was found unconscious in his family villa in the suburb of Lancaster back in June and was rushed to the hospital, only days after he was discharged from the same hospital where he was treated for an overdose.Doctors confirmed that the cause of his later admission was a lethal mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol, which were prescribed to treat his anxiety and depression after the loss of his entire family at the Lombardo - Montenero wedding massacre.His wife, Ariana Montenero, was reported missing ... again after being kidnapped at their wedding and returned ten days later. She was accompanying her husband at the villa but was nowhere to be found when the staff was calling the couple for dinner; instead, the house staff found Armand unresponsive in the couple’s bedroom, and Ariana Montenero’s whereabouts are still unknown.Au

Anthony Kibble was appointed to lead a special task force to investigate national organized crime. Since the day it was created some ten years earlier, almost to the day when Diego decided to leave the police academy to be a hitman.Tony was selected because of his experience in espionage, and he was highly skilled enough to be trusted for the grueling and demanding duties of the task force. He had led many successful operations within the force throughout the years, advancing his career significantly.He had learned everything there is to know about how these families operated and knew almost every member of the family as if they were the characters of his own stories. At the same time, he was following Diego’s footsteps closely, as if he were his son. He knew everything, though he kept it all to himself.When two of his worlds collided, he saw an opportunity to make the best of the circumstances. He could eliminate the network altogether or at least stop them from further expansion,

When Armand was taken to the hospital for what seemed to be a fatal drug overdose, he thought it was the end of him. His brain had not fully recovered from the previous overdose he had suffered only days earlier, and the fact that he had stopped breathing for some time was something very few people, if any, would survive.They pumped his stomach, put him on a ventilator, heart monitor, and every medical support tool they could provide to Armand Lombardo that night, and he miraculously defied the odds and started breathing again.Pasquale was the first person on site after the Chef answered his phone and called emergency. The boy was limp on his bed with white foam coming out of his mouth. His eyes flipped, and he could only see the white parts from his parted eyelids. He wasn’t breathing, and he looked very much dead.The first and last thing on his mind was, where is Ariana?The Chef said she was nowhere to be found. She was calling them for dinner and got no answer. Once she decided

Something changed inside him after that meeting. He turned inward and kept to himself—silent, lost in his thoughts, alone with his demons.Everybody lied to him.The government lied to him when they killed his parents and took away his youth from under him. Tony lied when he told him the mission was for his benefit. Ariana lied when she threw her arms around his neck and told him she wanted to run away with him. She lied when she said she didn’t want to go back to Armand. That meant she lied when she told him she loved him.Their lies have brought him to that place. He was neither here nor there. He has no past to return to or future to look forward to.Tony entered his cell with a stack of documents in his hands. He placed them on the table and took one folder to open.“These are the men you have managed to put to death these past 10 years,” Tony said, then read their names, ages, occupations, and the places where they were assassinated. It was Diego’s lifelong work.“I kept track of
