My Son Started Calling His Father "Uncle," and the Don Regretted Everything Chapter 10
Riccardo had his private jet readied for Rome that same night.He hadn't filed a flight plan, so he had to wait for clearance until two in the morning.In the waiting room, he sent me one encrypted message after another."Silvia, I know everything now.""Tell me where you are. Let me see you.""Is Dante asleep?""I swear I never meant to drive you away.""Please, turn your comm back on."My firewall blocked every message.Earlier that evening, when our helicopter landed on a private helipad in Rome, Dante was fast asleep in my arms.His little hand was still clutching his practice knife.I carried him into the armored SUV waiting for us, and we drove straight to the downtown safe house.The night air in Rome was chilly.The SUV glided through the streets.Dante rubbed his eyes and looked around, confused."Mother, is this where we're going to live now?"I brushed the hair from his forehead and looked him in the eye."Yes. We'll settle here first."I'll build you a new home no one can t

Elena lay on the floor, clutching her throat and coughing violently.Now that he'd seen through her, she stopped pretending.She wiped the blood from her lip, pulled herself up against the wall, and let out a cold laugh."That's right. I did it on purpose."But what choice did I have?"I'm a widow saddled with a kid, surrounded by wolves in Sicily. If I didn't cling to you, what was I supposed to do? Wait for them to eat us alive?"Riccardo stared at her as if seeing her for the first time."So all this time, you've been playing me?"Elena shook with mocking laughter."Playing you? Riccardo, you're just hopelessly stupid."All I had to do was shed a few tears and tell you how hard life was. You couldn't wait to do your duty by your dead brother."I barely had to mention that Luca was being left out at school, and you came running to play the hero."You call that manipulation? You did it to yourself!"Riccardo went pale, the veins standing out on his forehead."Didn't you swear some ric

A little after eight that night, Riccardo returned to the estate in a daze.As he unlocked the door with his fingerprint, he clung to one last shred of hope.Maybe Silvia had taken Dante to visit her family's territory.Maybe she was angry and had cut off contact to punish him.Maybe...But as soon as the door opened, those hopes fell apart.The entryway was empty.The shoe rack once filled with Silvia's and Dante's custom tactical boots held only a few pairs of his dress shoes.The living room looked like it had been looted.Dante's cup was gone from the coffee table.The only framed photo of the three of them had vanished from the mantel.Dante's treasured tactical sand table, model guns, and practice knife had all disappeared from the corner.Riccardo stood in the doorway. His blood went cold.He made his way upstairs to the master bedroom on unsteady legs.He slid open the closet door.Silvia's gowns and combat clothes were gone. She hadn't left so much as a silk scarf.The vanity

Riccardo rushed out of the medical center, jumped into his armored car, and sped toward the arena.Traffic clogged Sicily's main roads, with cars stretching as far as he could see.He gripped the wheel, his palms slick with sweat.He called Silvia on her encrypted channel.The first time, it rang and rang. No answer.The second time, he got a maddening busy signal.On the third try, a recording said the line had been cut.He thought Silvia was still sulking.He steered with one hand and fired off text after text."Silvia, Luca's taken care of. I'm on my way.""Wait for me in the stands. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right there.""I'm not breaking my word this time. I really am on my way."The messages went through.There was no response. Not even a read receipt.He called the locator comm on Dante's watch instead.A robotic female voice said the device had been destroyed.Riccardo's heart started pounding.A nameless panic gripped his throat and tightened with every breath.Suddenly he r

One hour earlier.Elena clung to Riccardo's sleeve, sobbing."Riccardo, please save him! Luca fell off the practice platform. There's blood everywhere. I don't know who else to call."Thick gauze was taped to Luca's head. He was crying so hard he could barely breathe.Riccardo's face had been grim the whole way to the medical center.He held the boy in his arms and called Silvia on her private channel.As soon as she answered, he rattled off his explanation without giving her a chance to speak."Silvia, explain it to Dante for me."Luca's badly hurt. I have to stay at the medical center."I might not make it by three. If you get tired of waiting, just go back to the estate."Tell Dante I'm sorry!"The moment he finished, he hung up.Just as he had countless times before.He left Silvia to deal with the fallout and gave Dante one more reason to be disappointed.He was sure Silvia and Dante would wait around like fools.And he thought one careless apology could mend years of hurt.The at

I called the control tower and moved our departure up to three that afternoon.Once the flight path was set, I began removing every trace of us from the estate.At nine, I brewed one last pot of black coffee in the kitchen.The box of cannoli Riccardo had brought home the night before still sat on the table.Dante walked over and swept it into the trash, foil box and all.At ten, the family's law firm sent confirmation that the contract dissolution had taken effect.The first clause was printed in bold red letters.The wife would have full custody of Dante and sole control over his future inheritance.While I waited, I happened to see Elena's new post on the dark web feed."The most precious gun belongs with the most beloved child. That's how power gets passed down."Attached was a close-up of Luca holding the Beretta.Dante sat nearby, cleaning his tactical knife. He glanced coldly at the screen.His voice was flat."Mother, let's get this over with."At one, after lunch, Dante and I
