FLORA

"This isn't a proposal," Dante clarified quickly. "Not yet. I'm still a man under federal supervision, rebuilding a new legacy, different from the one that was tainted by generations of blood. But it's a promise that if we survive this, I want to build something real. I want something legitimate with you, Flora."

I stared at the ring in awe as its stones caught the moonlight. After everything we had been through—the fear, the betrayal, the violence—this moment of tenderness felt almost unreal.

"We're going to survive," I told him as I let him slip the ring onto my right hand. "And then I'm going to hold you to that promise."

He pulled me against his chest, and for a moment, we were just a man and woman looking toward the future, not a crime boss and his unlikely partner planning for war.

Morning arrived too quickly. I sat at a table in the newly rebuilt Romano restaurant, drinking a cup of coffee I really couldn't taste. The space had been transformed since the bombing attac

    FLORAI called Sofia immediately."Flora, it's almost midnight. What's wrong?" she questioned."I need you to come over now. Please."She arrived twenty minutes later, and when she took one look at my face, she pulled closer to her and hugged me."What happened?" she asked.I showed her the pregnancy tests."Oh my God," she whispered. "Flora, this is wonderful news.""Is it? Dante's halfway around the world chasing his father. He's barely spoken to me in weeks. How is this wonderful?" I said."Because you're going to have a baby. And Dante loves you. When he finds out, he'll come home,” she replied sweetly."Will he? Or will he see this as another reason to hunt Antonio down because this is another person that Antonio might hurt?"Sofia sat beside me on the couch. "You have to tell him,” she insisted."I will. When he comes home.""Flora—""No. I'm not telling him over the phone while he's obsessing over Antonio. This news deserves better than that,” I said firmly.Sofia looked like s

    FLORAThe video kept playing on and on. It was blurry but it showed a burned man being helped onto a private jet. A week had passed after the factory fire. After we thought Antonio was dead.I watched Dante's face change as he stared at the screen for the hundredth time. His jaw was tense, and his eyes were cold. The man I had fallen in love with was disappearing before my eyes, and now he had been replaced by someone who was totally consumed with vengeance."Dante, you need to eat something," I said, placing a plate of food beside his laptop.He didn't look up. "I'm not hungry.""You haven't slept in three days,” I pointed out."I'll sleep when I find him,” was his reply.I bent over and closed the laptop. He finally looked at me, and what I saw in his eyes made my heart sink down to my feet. This wasn't just grief or anger anymore. It had now turned into obsession."Your father is exactly where he wants you," I said. "He wants you consumed with thoughts of him while ignoring everyth

    DANTEThree weeks after the factory fire, I still woke up hearing the sound of that helicopter crashing. The doctors said the nightmares would fade eventually, but I wasn't so sure. Some things stick with you whether you want them to or not.The morning sun was streaming in through the hospital window where Flora sat beside her mother's bed. Mrs. Miller looked better than she had in months. The kidney transplant had been a success, and Anthony's donation had given her a second chance at life."She's getting stronger every day," Flora said, squeezing her mother's hand.Mrs. Miller smiled. "I keep telling the doctors I'm ready to go home, but they won't listen to me.""Maybe because you tried to get out of bed yesterday to make tea for the nurses," Flora said with a laugh."They looked tired. I wanted to help,” Mrs. Miller replied.I watched them together and felt something I hadn't experienced in a long time. Peace, maybe. Or it was probably just the absence of constant danger.Agent H

    DANTEI turned around immediately to see Antonio coming from the other side of the wreckage. His clothes were torn and burnt, half of his hair had been burnt off, and there were lots of cuts on his face. But he was alive, and he was holding a gun."You’ve always shown how resourceful you are," I said, pushing Flora behind me."I didn't survive all these many years in this business by being soft." Antonio wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. "Unlike you."The flames were spreading, and I could feel the heat getting more intense. Parts of the rooftop were already starting to give away because of the damage from the fire."It's over, Dad. The FBI has the building surrounded. Your men are either dead or captured. Even if you kill us, you're not walking away from this.""Maybe not. But I'll have the satisfaction of knowing I didn't raise a complete failure." Antonio raised the gun. "You could have been great, Dante. You could have ruled everything I built.""I didn't w

    DANTEAntonio stood there with his gun fixed on me while that familiar cold smile of his that I had known for all of my early life played on his lips. The sound of the helicopter rotors was almost deafening, but I could still hear him clearly when he spoke."You know, son, we're more alike than you want to admit,” he said."We're nothing alike," I said. I made sure to keep my hands visible but I was still ready to move if I got the chance."Really? Let's see." Antonio held his gun steadily while he talked, but his eyes never left mine. "You've built an empire through violence and intimidation. You've killed men who stood in your way. You've lied, manipulated, and destroyed anyone who threatened what was yours.""That's different,” I argued."Is it? The only difference between us is that you pretend to have a conscience about it." Antonio's laugh was very loud even as the helicopter’s rotors kept making noise. "Tell me, Dante, how many men have you killed in the name of protecting your

    FLORAGunfire burst out from every direction as FBI agents swung into the factory through the broken windows. Antonio's men, who had been hidden throughout the place, opened fire immediately. The sound was deafening as it echoed around the building while the shells bounced off the metal walls and spoilt machines."Flora, get down!" Dante yelled. He quickly pushed me to the concrete floor as the sound of shots kept echoing.Through the chaos, I saw Antonio grab Sofia from Lorenzo’s grip, then he started to drag her toward a staircase at the far end of the walkway. But then someone grabbed me from behind."There’s been a change of plans, sweetheart," Lorenzo whispered in my ear. He pressed his gun against my ribs as he pulled me to my feet. "You're coming with me.""Let her go!" Dante called out. He turned around and started heading our way, but one of Antonio's men blocked his path by spraying it with multiple shots.Lorenzo started to drag me through the chaos all around us. We passed
