Enzo started forward again. Don Matteo moved half a step closer to me, and every Russo guard along the far wall put a hand on his holster at once.

"She has already answered," Don Matteo said. "You're dismissed, Underboss."

That last word landed on Enzo like a slap.

He had always assumed he would be a don soon. In front of Don Matteo, he was still only an underboss who took orders from the head of his family.

Don Vittorio climbed the steps at the front of the ballroom. He took another copy of the

  • He Gave Her My Vows, So I Married the Don He Feared   Chapter 12

    Before Enzo was sent away, he asked to see me one last time.We met at a Moretti port. It was where he had received his first shipping route, and where his last access privileges would be revoked for good.In only a few days, not a trace of his old pride remained."I always thought you would never leave," he said. "You loved me for ten years, and the Moretti and De Luca families were bound together. I knew you were hurting. I simply believed that as long as you were the woman I married in the end, everything else could be forgiven."The sea breeze tousled his hair. He lowered his head, and for the first time, he did not hide behind Bianca, a blood debt, or a family operation."You were right. I liked that she depended on me."In front of you, I always remembered that without the Moretti family, I might never have become underboss. Every time she looked at me, she made me feel invincible."Sofia, it isn't that I didn't know you were in pain."I just believed that no matter how much I hu

    The Commission did not cancel the next day's meeting.We let Bianca go on believing that Don Vittorio would take the original route to the church. In reality, Don Matteo's three-car escort had locked down the surrounding blocks in advance, and Don Salvatore was already in Russo custody.Bianca walked into the church in the white dress from those engagement photos.She probably still believed that if Enzo saw her looking helpless enough, he would step in front of her as he always had.But waiting at the altar, besides Enzo, were Don Vittorio, Don Alessandro, Don Matteo, and the consiglieri representing five families."Where is Don Salvatore?" Only then did she realize that something was wrong."He has already admitted that you sold the route two years ago." I stood up from the pew and placed the complete evidence on the table. "You used the same backdoor to carry out this port ambush."Bianca looked at me, and the fear drained slowly out of her face."Why do you always get everything?"

    Don Matteo's orders reached every corner of the Russo family within three minutes.An escort of four armored cars left the estate, and the capos on both sides of the port sealed every exit at once. I did not ride out to the ambush with them. I stayed in the control room. Two armed Moretti guards held the door and admitted no one whose identity had not been confirmed, while I pulled up every piece of port equipment near the river road.One side of that road was abandoned warehouses, the other was containers stacked and waiting to be loaded. The enemy had chosen it because once a convoy went in, it could not turn around.I took over a remote crane and swung the two outermost containers into the middle of the road. When the lead Moretti car was forced to stop, the shooters hidden in the warehouse opened fire early."Close gate seven and open the maintenance tunnel," I told the operator. "Get everyone out of those cars and back into the port through the underground passage."On the monitor

    "Don Matteo, Enzo is at the south port waiting for your wife. He says he won't leave until he sees her."Half an hour later I met Enzo in the port office.Overnight, he had become a different man. He had not shaved, his suit was badly creased, and the underboss pin he had never removed was gone, reclaimed by Don Vittorio."Bianca has been thrown out of the estate." He got straight to it. "I've revoked all her access, and I'll tell the Bellini family the photos are void."I sat behind the desk and didn't have anyone pour him a drink."That's between you and her.""I never touched her." Enzo took a step forward. "The chapel photos were fake. The marriage protection was fake. Everything I did was to pay back what I owed Capo Rizzo in blood.""So as long as you didn't sleep with her, it doesn't count as betrayal?""Sofia—""You gave her my marriage contract, my veil, your name, and your choice in front of everyone. And now you're telling me that because you didn't take off her clothes, I s

  • He Gave Her My Vows, So I Married the Don He Feared   Chapter 8

    On my first day at the Russo estate, Don Matteo set a black seal on my desk."This gives you access to the inner council," he said. "Any decision involving the Moretti ports is yours. When a Russo capo needs your signature, he will come directly to you."I looked at the seal and didn't pick it up right away.For five years, Enzo had said underworld business was dangerous and that he did not want me too involved. He used the Moretti ports while keeping me out of every route meeting. Over time, even I had nearly forgotten that my authority came from the shares my mother had left me."You're not worried I'll hand Russo secrets to my father?""If I can't tell my wife from my enemies, I don't deserve to be don."At my first inner council meeting, two of the older capos saw me sitting at the right side of the round table and exchanged a look of undisguised displeasure.Nico Ferraro, the capo in charge of shipping, slid the route file past me and pushed it straight to Don Matteo. "The capos h

In front of Don Matteo, he was still only an underboss who took orders from the head of his family.Don Vittorio climbed the steps at the front of the ballroom. He took another copy of the dissolution agreement from his own consigliere. Its cover bore the red seal of the De Luca don's office in the upper right corner, nothing like the copy Bianca had handled."The original reached me yesterday." Don Vittorio looked at Enzo. "I held off signing until noon today to give you one last chance to save the alliance with the Moretti family. You did not even know negotiations had begun. The Moretti family has now formally withdrawn its ports, its money, and its support."The hall went com
