Danzo sat in the leather chair of the dimly lit study, a faint smirk playing on his lips. It felt good to be back in this house, this place he once ruled with an iron fist. It had been years since he’d been exiled, sent away because of his “methods”—methods that, as far as he was concerned, had kept the family intact and powerful. But now, with Marco in charge, things were different. The family had weakened, fractured under Marco’s so-called leadership. Danzo could see it, and he knew others could too. And that’s why he was back.

The pretense of his visit had been simple enough: concern for Marco’s safety, for the stability of the family. But that was just the surface. Beneath it, Danzo was already calculating, already watching for the cracks he could exploit. And there were plenty of them.

He picked up the phone on the desk, dialing a number he knew by heart. It rang once, twice, before the familiar voice on the other end answered.

“Danzo,” Marcel greeted him, his tone sharp, busines

    SARAHI woke up with my face stiff from dried tears and my head pounding like I hadn’t slept at all. My throat felt tight, my eyes heavy and sore. For a few seconds I just stared up at the ceiling, trying to breathe normally, but the weight of last night came crashing down the moment I moved.Marco’s voice.His father’s words he threw at me.Everything Maddalena ever said.Sofia’s face at that party.All the little moments where I swallowed things and told myself it would get better.It all sat on my chest like something had been placed there while I slept.The house was too quiet and I knew, right there on that bed, that I couldn’t stay here today. I couldn’t stay in this house pretending I wasn’t breaking apart. After last night… no. I couldn’t do it.I pushed myself up and wiped my face with my hands. My palms came away wet again. I hadn’t even realized I was crying. My body just felt heavy, like sadness had soaked into my bones and stayed there.Marco’s voice replayed again.You m

    THIRD PERSON Marco walked into the house with his jaw tight and his shoulders tense. The silence inside was thick, too still, like the walls were waiting for something to explode. He shut the door without a sound and stood there for a moment, breathing hard. His father’s words kept echoing, circling his head again and again, each one hitting the same raw spot.He dragged his hand across his face and forced himself to move.The lights in the kitchen were on. He walked in and found Sarah standing by the counter. She was cutting fruit, slow and gentle, like she always did when she wanted things peaceful. She looked up the moment she sensed him. Her eyes softened. She gave him that small warm look, the one that usually calmed him.Tonight it did nothing. If anything, it made the anger twist deeper. Made the guilt sharper.She wiped her hands on a towel and took a step closer. “You’re back early,” she said. “Everything okay?”Her voice was low. Careful. It should have helped. He wished it

    MARCOI answered the call and my father’s voice hit me before I even said hello. He didn’t ease into it. He didn’t breathe. He just fired at me.“Marco, what the hell is going on?”The anger in his voice came sharp and loud. I held the phone away for a second because it felt like he was right in my ear. My ribs pinched a bit when I straightened up, but I forced my voice to stay calm.“What do you mean?” I said. “Everything is fine. Nothing is out of hand. I’m handling it.”“Do not lie to me,” he snapped. “Do not even try it. I have been getting calls since morning. Calls. From people I should never hear from unless something is going wrong.”I felt my jaw tighten. I tried to breathe slow, but he gave me no space.“You think I don’t know?” he went on. “I know about the routes. I know about the investors. And I know about the missing shipment.”I froze there. My whole body felt still. I didn’t expect the news to fly all the way to him this fast. Investors calling him meant it was worse

    THIRD PERSONMarco had been home for a full week, and the days passed in slow, tense silence. He moved better now, but every shift in his ribs reminded him of the accident. His shoulder still pulled when he lifted his arm too fast. The bruises across his side had started to fade, but the soreness stayed with him like a dull warning.The house felt different. It carried an edge he couldn’t soften. Sarah barely looked at him for more than a few seconds at a time. She spoke softly, never raising her voice, never pushing. She moved with care, like any wrong word could break the small peace they were holding on to.Every morning, Marco noticed it again and again. The way she slid his glass of water toward him without meeting his eyes. How she asked if he slept well, but her voice sounded like she already expected the answer. The careful distance she kept when she walked past him. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t anger. It felt like she was protecting something inside her, and Marco didn’t know wh

    SOFIAThe drive home was silent, but my head wasn’t. Every turn, every red light, I kept seeing her face. Sarah. The way she looked at him, the way she moved toward him like she had the right. That fake softness in her voice when she said his name.By the time I stepped inside, I couldn’t breathe right. The door slammed behind me, and I didn’t even try to hold back. My bag hit the wall, the sound echoing through the quiet house. I stood there, breathing hard, hands shaking, watching it slide to the floor.That image of her hugging him burned in my head. Her arms around him like she belonged there. My jaw clenched. She didn’t even hesitate. Not a flicker of doubt. Like she knew he wouldn’t pull away.“Stupid,” I muttered, kicking my shoes off hard enough that one flew across the room. “So damn stupid.”I walked back and forth, trying to shake off the feeling crawling under my skin. It wasn’t just anger. It was humiliation. That look Tony gave me when I stood there watching her hold Mar

    SARAHThe kitchen was already warm when I came in. Martha had been up for a while, her sleeves rolled to her elbows, a knife moving fast through a pile of vegetables. The scent of herbs, garlic, and simmering tomato filled the air. I tied an apron and joined her, wordless, my thoughts too heavy to trust my voice.“You’re quiet today,” Martha said after a while. Her tone was light, but her eyes didn’t miss much.“Just thinking,” I said, stirring the sauce. The wooden spoon trembled slightly in my hand. My mind kept circling back to Maddalena’s words from earlier, that sharp voice in the living room, her warning that I didn’t belong here. That Sofia was the better choice. I could still see her smirk when I told her I wouldn’t lose.Martha dropped the vegetables into a pot and gave me a side look. “Thinking about the boss?”I almost smiled. “You mean Marco?”“Who else?” She shrugged, turning to the stove. “Word is he’s being discharged this evening.”I froze. “He’s coming home today?”“T
