CHAPTER 74: Giovanni’s POV

The formation is wrong.

I see it before the cars even come to a full stop.

The spacing is too clean, too intentional. The lead vehicle cuts across the road with precision, the rear tightening just enough to make it look like containment instead of coincidence. It’s controlled. Staged.

This isn’t Marco trying to run.

This is Marco waiting.

“Boss,” Carlos mutters from the driver’s seat, eyes scanning the mirrors, the angles, the dark structures lining the road. “You wan

    CHAPTER 75: Mirabella’s POVThere was no pain at first, no light either, just something thick and endless, like being suspended in a place that had no beginning and no edge. It wasn’t darkness in the way I understood it, because darkness had shape and depth, while this felt heavier, like it pressed in from all sides without ever quite touching, like something waiting for me to notice it.For a long time, there was nothing else.Then something shifted.A sound filtered through the stillness, faint and distant, as though it didn’t belong to me. It came and went, slipping through whatever this place was, a low, steady rhythm that didn’t make sense yet, not loud enough to understand and not close enough to feel real. I didn’t reach for it, didn’t even question it, because questioning required effort and effort felt too far away.And then a door slammed.The sound cracked through everything, sharp and sudden, and just like that, the emptiness changed into something I recognized before I co

Staged.This isn’t Marco trying to run.This is Marco waiting.“Boss,” Carlos mutters from the driver’s seat, eyes scanning the mirrors, the angles, the dark structures lining the road. “You want us to close in now?”I don’t answer immediately.Something in my chest has already gone cold.I’ve seen setups like this before. Enough times to know when the board isn’t mine anymore. The road is too open. The buildings too empty. Too many blind spots that don’t belong to me.“We box them in now?” Lorenzo presses from the back.I should say no.I should pull back, reposition, drag this into terrain I control.Then I see her.Mirabella stands beside the SUV, the headlights catching the edge of

    CHAPTER 73: Mirabella’s POV I woke before they came for me.It wasn’t noise that pulled me out of sleep. It was instinct. The house felt different, too alert, too arranged. I lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, listening to the subtle shift of movement beyond my door. Footsteps. Controlled. Deliberate. Not routine.So this is it.I didn’t panic. Panic is for people who don’t understand the game.I sat up slowly and smoothed my hair back. If Marco was moving me, it meant one thing: Giovanni’s pressure was working. And that meant something else entirely.Giovanni was getting closer.The door opened without a knock. Two guards stepped in and they not the usual ones. These were new, I hadn’t seen their faces around. Good. That meant Marco was nervous.He appeared behind them a second later, adjusting his cufflinks like we were leaving for dinner instead of orchestrating a relocation.“You’re up,” he observed.“I don’t sleep heavy,” I replied evenly.His gaze scanned the room

    CHAPTER 72: Giovanni’s POV The room reeked of burnt coffee and the sharp edge of whiskey, so faint, yet persistent, like a ghost lingering in the air. Shadows from the flickering screens danced across the walls, casting a cold, blue glow that painted everything in a sterile, deadly light. On the table, glasses sat untouched, the ice melted, liquor gone cold hours ago, just like the hopes of Marco’s empire slipping away.I stood motionless, sleeves rolled back to reveal scarred hands, eyes locked on the digital death spiral of Marco’s operation. Every failed transfer, every contact going dark, was a nail in his coffin, an echo of the slow, inevitable collapse I’d orchestrated.Diane’s fingers moved with lethal precision across her keyboard, each keystroke sharp and deliberate. The click-clack was a metronome for the chaos we were unleashing. She didn’t bother to meet our gazes, her focus as unshakable as a sniper’s scope.“Second Belluci account just got frozen, twe

    CHAPTER 71: Mirabella’s POVThe house was too quiet when I woke up. This was the second week I had spent trapped in this place. And today, today felt different. I knew because the silence was wrong.Usually, the Belluci mansion followed a rhythm. Doors opened at the same time. Footsteps passed my door in predictable intervals. A guard coughed from his cigarette near the stairs every morning like clockwork.Today, something had slipped.When I opened my eyes, the air felt thin. Like the house was holding its breath.I dressed slowly. Same routine. Same neutral clothes Marco approved of. No jewelry. Nothing sharp. Nothing that could be twisted into a weapon or used for an escape. I stepped into the hallway.Two guards stood near the stairs instead of three.They weren’t talking.One of them kept checking his phone.That was new.Breakfast was already laid out when I reached the dining room. The table looked untouched, but the staff moved with tight shoulders and eyes that refused to

    CHAPTER 70: Giovanni’s POVThe room was quiet in the way only command centers ever were—screens humming, men breathing softly, coffee going cold where no one remembered to drink it.Mirabella was okay.That was the only thing keeping the walls from coming down.When Dominic came back from the Belluci mansion, that was the first thing I demanded. Was Mirabella okay? Was she hurt? A million things ran through my mind during the first week she was there, but I couldn’t afford any rash decisions. Her life was in Marco’s hands.Carlos stood near the far monitor wall, jacket off, sleeves rolled, tapping two fingers against his arm like he was restraining himself from pacing. Lorenzo leaned against the table, arms crossed, jaw locked tight enough to crack teeth. Eliana sat on the edge of the leather couch, knees bouncing, eyes red but sharp.No one spoke.They were waiting for me.I broke the silence, turning to Diane. “Run it again.”The audio replayed. Footsteps. The scrape of a chair. Mir

    CHAPTER 66: Giovanni’s POV DOMINICI didn’t announce myself.I never did with Marco. Didn’t need to. The Belluci house still remembered my footsteps, even if he liked to pretend it didn’t.Two guards stiffened when they saw me. Hands twitching. Eyes sharp but nobody spoke.Good. They knew better.
