Chapter 7

مؤلف: Scarlet Cherry
The night Lorenzo was carried back, Don Corleone punished him severely as well.

I thought this pampered heir would finally face reality.

However, I underestimated a madman’s obsession.

A month later, on the anniversary of my mother’s death, I went to a private cemetery on the outskirts to pay my respects.

Since it was a private trip and I didn’t want my mother’s resting place disturbed, I brought only two trusted men.

I placed a bouquet of white lilies in front of the cold gravestone and wa

  • Taking the Throne   Chapter 9

    Three days later, the Corleone family’s operations in New Haven suffered devastating blows.I completely cut off Don Corleone’s smuggling routes. Then, several of his key subordinates were found dead in the streets.Faced with absolute force, the Corleone family had no ability to fight back.To preserve the last of his bloodline, Don Corleone abandoned all dignity.He came to kneel outside my estate, carrying the full transfer documents of the Corleone family’s assets.He declared that from this day forward, the Corleone family would become a subsidiary of the Cosa family.For generations, they would pledge loyalty to me.As I sat on the leather sofa, flipping through the transfer agreements, the anger in my heart finally settled slightly.I had Lorenzo returned to his father.The man once known as the most beautiful figure in the underworld was now nothing more than a cripple, stripped of what made him a man.Seeing his son’s condition, Don Corleone wept.However, he did no

    I looked at his humble yet crazed expression and couldn’t help but laugh.“Lorenzo, you’re nothing more than a toy I use when I’m bored.“Let me go. Otherwise, I guarantee that everyone in the Corleone family, including your father, will be chopped up and fed to the fish.”At the mention of his father, Lorenzo paused for a moment. Soon, however, that trace of fear was swallowed by deeper madness.“Impossible!” He completely lost control, tearing open his robe and revealing his firm chest.“As long as we do it enough times, you’ll become dependent and fall in love with me!“Annelise, you can only love me!”As he muttered, he roughly pulled at the strap on my slip.Bound by chains, I couldn’t break free.I took a deep breath and forced down the murderous urge rising inside me.I stopped struggling. When his urgent kisses fell on my neck, I deliberately let out a soft, sweet gasp.Lorenzo’s movements froze.He lifted his head and looked at me in disbelief.I looked back at hi

    The night Lorenzo was carried back, Don Corleone punished him severely as well.I thought this pampered heir would finally face reality.However, I underestimated a madman’s obsession.A month later, on the anniversary of my mother’s death, I went to a private cemetery on the outskirts to pay my respects.Since it was a private trip and I didn’t want my mother’s resting place disturbed, I brought only two trusted men.I placed a bouquet of white lilies in front of the cold gravestone and was about to turn around.From behind the tall evergreen trees, more than a dozen fully armed mercenaries quietly emerged.“Bang! Bang!”My two men instantly drew their guns, but the enemy’s firepower was too strong. They quickly fell into pools of blood.Using the gravestone as cover, I shot three mercenaries in the head with precision.Just as I was about to break through, a familiar figure stepped out.It was Lorenzo.“Annelise, don’t struggle.” He stared at me, his gaze burning with a s

    Luis’ expression instantly shifted from ferocity to disbelief.He demanded to know why his men had turned on him.“Boss.”The mercenary leader lowered his gun, dropped to one knee, and respectfully saluted me.“The deposit has been received. We’re awaiting your orders.”I took a slow sip of wine.“For the past year, every cent I spent went into their private accounts.“I used three times the black money to buy out the ace force you were so proud of.”I set down the glass and slowly stood, walking step by step toward Luis.With a swift motion, I drove a dagger straight through his palm, pinning him firmly to the table.His scream echoed through the hall.Darlene trembled all over, stammering as she began to beg for mercy.“Annelise, I was wrong! I’m your mother. I raised you!”Expressionless, I pulled out the dagger and cleanly slit Luis’ throat.Blood sprayed like a fountain across Darlene’s and Angelina’s faces.I calmly pulled open my collar, revealing several old, jag

    Angelina’s legs trembled violently, and she collapsed onto the expensive carpet.Father swept his gaze coldly across the room. The capos who had been shouting just now fell completely silent.“You really thought I was sick, and the family would fall into the hands of fools like you?”I threw a thick ledger at Angelina’s face.“You think the businesses you swallowed were actually profitable?“They were all losses I deliberately created. Not only did you gain nothing, but you also saddled the family with thirty million in black debt.”I pressed the remote, and three major real estate projects appeared on the big screen.“While you were still feeling proud over those tax-evading casinos, I was already using my time with Lorenzo as cover to secure the next ten years of the business landscape.”More than half of New Haven’s federal judges and district attorneys had been turned into my associates.What I built was an unprecedented underground empire spanning both sides of the law.

    Lorenzo’s head tilted to the side, and a trace of blood immediately seeped from the corner of his mouth.He covered his face, his eyes filled with shock and pain.He probably couldn’t understand how someone so mentally weakened could still have such strength.“Are you crazy? How dare you hit me?”I slowly cupped his chin and warned him coldly, “Lorenzo, don’t push it.“After a year of playing, have you forgotten what you really are?”The affectionate look that was always in Lorenzo’s eyes flashed with a hint of panic for the first time.This foolish man thought I had been poisoned into stupidity by his pills during this year.My clarity and indifference today made him feel, for the first time, what it meant to lose control.The car came to a steady stop outside the iron gates of the headquarters estate.My stepsister, Angelina, stood arrogantly at the gate with several capos loyal to her.She caught sight of the slap mark on Lorenzo’s face, froze for a moment, then burst int
