The estate had never felt smaller.

Lucy had grown up within its high walls, roaming marble halls and sprawling gardens with the ease of someone who thought she belonged. But now, with Vince’s men at every corner, their eyes sweeping over her like she was glass about to crack, the place felt more like a prison than home.

She couldn’t even lean out her window without seeing one of them standing by the gate, arms folded, pretending not to be watching her.

It gnawed at her, this constant supervision.

When she went to the library, they followed at a distance.

When she lingered in the garden, they lingered too.

When she whispered with Selene over the phone, she swore she saw shadows shift in the hall outside her room.

Vince had promised she would never be left unprotected again.

But to Lucy, the word unprotected had started to sound a lot like trapped.

And yet amid that suffocating watchfulness, she noticed something else.

At first, it was nothing more than a feeling.

    Her breath caught in her throat. The face behind the wheel, sharp and determined, was Marco’s.“Marco?” she gasped, disbelief written across her soot-streaked face.The car skidded to a stop inches from where they stood, the rear door swinging open. Inside, the leather seats glowed in the firelight, the only safe haven in a city tearing itself apart.“Move!” Marco shouted again, voice cutting like steel. “Angelo sent me for you, get in now!”For the first time that night, Lucy felt something pierce the haze of fear. Hope.Kira didn’t hesitate. She shoved Lucy toward the open door, practically throwing her inside before clambering in after. Maya and Selene dove in on either side, bullets pinging against the car’s steel frame.Marco slammed his foot on the gas before the door had even closed, the engine roaring as the car shot forward, leaving fire and gunmen in the dust.The girls huddled in the back seat, panting, wide-eyed, ash clinging to their hair and skin. Lucy stared at Marco, w

    Tatiana Russo stood at the edge of Catania, the glow of the city spread out before her like prey awaiting the strike. The night was restless, the air charged with promise.Beside her, Enrico adjusted his coat, his gray hair catching the faint light. “Are you certain?” he asked quietly. “Catania is theirs. A misstep here and we hand them our throats.”Tatiana’s eyes were sharp as glass. “Catania is broken. The people are starving. The Mancinis scramble in rage while the Valerios chase shadows. This is the moment, father. The city is soft. We strike tonight, and it will never belong to them again.”She gestured to the convoy of trucks waiting behind her, crates hidden beneath tarps, men armed and eager.“We strike not in silence,” she said, her voice carrying to the captains gathered. “But in fire. Tonight, we show the people that the serpent has come to Catania. And tomorrow, they will kneel.”The captains nodded. Engines rumbled to life. The convoy rolled forward, headlights extinguis

    Back at the Mancini villa.The report landed on Giovanni Mancini’s desk like a death sentence. The papers were smudged with ash, the ink blotched by a courier’s trembling hand.“A shipment from Palermo never arrived.”He flipped to the next page.“Another, from the countryside, abandoned in the hills. The driver missing.”His jaw tightened. He did not need to read further. The words were all the same, each line carrying the weight of failure.Empty markets. Merchants stalling. Excuses growing thin.Giovanni leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking under his weight. The office, once filled with the hum of telephones and the steady rhythm of business, now seemed suffocatingly still. Only the ticking of the clock above the window dared to break the silence.The Russo Uprising. It had been whispers for weeks. But nowThe sound of the door slamming open made him lift his head. Draco, one of the younger lieutenants, stood in the doorway, his face pale, his breath ragged.“Gunfire,” Dra

    News traveled fast, even faster in Cosa Nostra circles.By the time dawn broke over Catania, word had already bled west to Palermo: Lucy Valerio had vanished from her family’s estate.Enrico Russo heard it first at his long oak dining table, the kind where business bled into breakfast. His captains murmured about it between mouthfuls of espresso and cigarettes, each trying to gauge the other’s reaction before their Don’s.Enrico set down his cup carefully, his heavy gold ring glinting in the morning light. His face was unreadable, but the silence he allowed to stretch was deliberate, tightening the air until his men shifted nervously.The first murmur had arrived with the dawn, a courier riding hard from Catania, sweat still glistening on his neck when he handed over the letter. Enrico read it in silence, his thick fingers turning the page carefully, as though savoring the weight of the words.By the time the rest of the table heard, the courier had been dismissed, and Enrico sat with

    Kira knelt in front of her, gripping her hands. “We should move you. Now. They’re closing in. It’s only a matter of time before they check the student quarter.”“No,” Maya snapped, pacing the room. Her nerves were fraying with every shout from the street. “Moving her is suicide. The city’s crawling with Valerio dogs. Better to keep her here, hidden, until this storm passes.”Selene rounded on her. “Storm passes? You think this ends in a day? They’ll scour the whole city. They’ll burn it down if they have to. We need to plan. Find a way to get her out of Catania before they close every gate.”Lucy buried her face in her hands. The world was collapsing around her, and it was all because of her, her secrets, her escape, her love for Angelo, the life growing in her belly she hadn’t yet said aloud to her family.It wasn’t just fear for herself anymore.It was fear for all of them.By the second night, the city itself had turned hostile.Neighbors eyed one another warily, afraid of being ac

    Vince had been silent since the shouting began.He sat at the far end of the table, one leg crossed over the other, his hand calmly swirling a glass of brandy he hadn’t touched. His expression was unreadable, no fury, no panic, just that cold, calculating stillness that made even his brothers wary.When Salvatore’s voice broke off, Vince finally spoke, quiet but razor sharp.“She didn’t escape alone.”The words cut through the room.Adrian slammed his fist against the table. “Of course she didn’t. Someone helped her. Tell me who, and I’ll put their head on the gate before sundown.”Vince’s gaze slid over him with disinterest. “Bluster won’t find her. Whoever pulled this off knew my schedule. They waited until I was gone. That takes planning, precision. Someone who’s been watching us closely.”Damien leaned forward, eyes narrowed. “You think Mancini? That bastard’s son sniffing around again?”At the mention of Angelo’s name, something flickered in Vince’s gaze, a thin crack in the ice.
