Vincenzo's POV

I pushed through the pain in my side as I stood there in the safe house getting ready for the Commission sit-down. I refused to let any of it show on my face because weakness was not an option right now.

My body still hurt from that collapse a few days back, but I kept moving anyway, and Lenny stayed right by my side the whole time.

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Her Choice…

    Lenny’s POVThe Commission accepted the evidence right away and they declared that Dantes death was justified because of everything he did against the family. They offered Vincenzo his half brothers captain position and they gave him a clear path to become capo one day if he kept proving himself. I stood there next to him and watched as the words landed in the room. Vincenzo did not speak right away and I could see the hesitation on his face because this life had already cost him so much and he was thinking about all of it now.One of the captains spoke up after the decision. "This is a strong offer Vincenzo. You earned it with the proof you brought in today. What do you say to it."Vincenzo looked at the table and then at me for a second. "I want the family strong again but I know what this position means and the cost that comes with it. I have lost a lot already to get here and I am not sure I want more of the same."

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Sit Down !

    Vincenzo's POVI pushed through the pain in my side as I stood there in the safe house getting ready for the Commission sit-down. I refused to let any of it show on my face because weakness was not an option right now. My body still hurt from that collapse a few days back, but I kept moving anyway, and Lenny stayed right by my side the whole time. We went over the compiled evidence against Dante one last time at the table, and Luca had everything printed out in neat stacks while Francesca watched from the corner with that wary look she always had."This is solid stuff," Luca said as he pointed at the papers. "Transfers and messages that prove Dante worked with the Irish and sold us out for months. You think they will listen when you lay it all out there, Vincenzo?"Francesca crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. "They might listen, but some of those captains already made up their minds about you. You walk i

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Patterns In The Dark

    Lenny's POVI helped Vincenzo celebrate small milestones in recovery that morning. He walked unaided across the room for the first time without holding onto anything. I stood by the door and watched him take every single step slow and steady. "You did it," I said and clapped my hands. "Look at you going all the way across the room without any help at all."He smiled big when he reached me and touched my arm. "It feels good," he said. "I am getting there faster than I thought I would."The group gathered in the living room to analyze the message. Luca and Francesca sat down, and we all looked at the words on the phone. I read it again and spotted patterns others missed from my outsider view. "Look at the words here," I said and pointed at the screen. "They use the same phrasing as the tampered file notes. It is the same person or the same group sending these messages."Luca leaned in closer to see. "You a

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Quiet Operation

    Vincenzo's POVI authorized a quiet operation to deal with the Dante-loyal captain. I called Luca and Francesca into the room while I stayed resting in bed. "Take him out clean," I said. "No noise and no traces back to us. Make it look like an accident if you can, so no one asks questions."Luca nodded and wrote down the address on a piece of paper. "We can do it tonight," he said. "I have two men ready who are good at this kind of work, and they know how to stay invisible."Francesca looked at me and crossed her arms. "I will make sure the body disappears completely," she said. "You focus on healing and let us handle the dirty part of this."I gave them all the details I had and told them exactly how to do it step by step so nothing would go wrong. In my head, I thought about the balance between mercy and ruthlessness for the family’s future. Some people deserved a second chance, but this captain was to

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Private Trap

    Lenny's POVI felt the weight of the private pre-meeting request right away. It sat heavy on me all morning and would not leave my mind. I walked into the bedroom and looked at Vincenzo, who was sitting up in the bed. "It could be a setup," I said. "You are still healing, and this feels too risky right now for you to go alone."Vincenzo sat up straighter and shook his head. "I have to go if it secures more allies," he said. "We need every vote we can get on the Commission, or they might turn against us."I crossed my arms and kept arguing with him. "But what if they use it against you?" I asked. "You are not at full strength yet, and one wrong move could end everything we have worked for."He reached for my hand and held it. "This is how the game works, Lenny," he said. "I cannot say no without looking weak in front of them. You are my sounding board now, so tell me what you really think we should do."I sat down on

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Pains And Promises

    Vincenzo's POVI gritted my teeth through the sharp pain after I overexerted myself walking too much. Blood seeped through the fresh bandages, and I felt it warm on my skin right away. Lenny rushed to help me back to the bed, and she put her arm under me to support my weight. "Easy," she said. "Lie down slow.""The doctor is coming now," she told me. "Stay still until he gets here so it does not get worse."The doctor arrived soon after and checked the wound carefully. He changed the bandages and looked at me seriously. "You are lucky it is minor," the doctor warned. "But another stunt like this and you will not make the sit-down. Your body needs the full two weeks to heal right, or the damage could be permanent."I nodded at him, but inside I felt mad at myself for pushing so hard. After the doctor left the room, I stayed in bed and my frustration boiled over in private. I slammed a fist against the mat

    Lenny’s POVGradually, the darkness that had swallowed me finally began to spit me out, taking off its tendrils as I heard sounds muddled in my ear.
