The Consigliere He Couldn't Keep Chapter 9
Don Alessandro Bellucci recovered far faster than anyone expected.Within weeks, he was already walking without assistance.The bullet had nearly taken his life.Instead...It had left him with a story he seemed determined to tell everyone.Everyday, his black Rolls-Royce appeared outside Bellator Strategic Solutions.At first, everyone assumed he was there for Victor Hayes. They quickly realized otherwise."I'm here for Consigliere Claire," the old Don would announce with a grin.The entire office eventually stopped being surprised.Don Bellucci settled into the chair across from my desk as if he'd owned the office all his life.Lorenzo followed behind him, carrying two coffees.One black. One with extra sugar.He placed the sweeter one in front of me without a word.Don Bellucci pointed a finger between us."You see? My son is learning.""He usually negotiates with politicians.""I've never seen him nervous around anyone before."Lorenzo sighed. "Father...""I'm trying to make a good

The mission was scheduled two days later.Every intelligence dossier, satellite relay, and choke point had been stress-tested again and again. There would be no second attempt.Among the strike force Soldati, doubts ran rampant. Most of them knew nothing of my past, whispering that I was a broken Soldato who couldn't even handle a firearm anymore.Chase, sensing the volatile energy, insisted on leading the front-line breach team himself.At the final briefing, Victor Hayes noticed the crackling tension between us. He leaned back in his chair, scanning our faces."You two sure about this?" I said, "Once the mission starts, he's Ground Command. I'm Tactical Overwatch. Nothing else."Victor studied us for another moment. Then nodded. "Fair enough."No one understood Chase's abilities better than I did. Whatever had happened between us, none of it changed one simple fact.He was the best blade I'd ever worked with.There wasn't another person I trusted more to bring a team through a firef

A month later. I crossed paths with Chase again.This time, it wasn't personal. It was business.The Bellucci Family had suffered its biggest tactical breach in nearly twenty years.An assassination attempt had left Don Alessandro Bellucci alive, but trapped.Within forty-eight hours, they had to extract the Don and his core council before the Russo Family closed their perimeter.Every escape route had already been exposed. Every contingency had failed. No one could come up with a plan that didn't end with bodies.The conference room at Moretti Headquarters was packed. Maps covered every screen—satellite images, traffic feeds and building layouts.After nearly ten minutes, Victor Hayes finally broke the silence."This isn't a missin. It's a massacre waiting to happen."Another Capo shook his head. "We've simulated it seventeen times. The Don dies every time."Someone at the end of the table slumped back. "We need Romano."The room fell dead quiet. No one argued.If anyone in the global

My new office overlooked the Hudson. Three years ago, I had walked away from the Moretti family with a shattered right hand and a broken life.Now I was walking into Bellator Strategic Solutions as one of their newest Consigliere & Senior Tactical Strategist.The first person to greet me was Victor Hayes—a legendary former Delta Underboss , and an old comrade of Don Romano's."So you're the woman Don Romano wouldn't shut up about," Victor smiled warmly. "He swore I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I let anyone else hire you."A smile tugged at my lips. "I hope he wasn't exaggerating."Victor laughed. He handed me my security badge. "Welcome aboard."I settled into my new role seamlessly.The intense rehabilitation in Sicily had restored almost ninety percent of the bone density in my right arm. I could hold a sidearm, but I could no longer sustain the heavy recoil of a high-caliber sniper rifle.What no one knew at first was that during those three years in Sicily, I had complete

Three years later.The aircraft cruised steadily above the Atlantic, the last streaks of sunset fading beneath the wings.As the cabin temperature dropped, a familiar chill seeped into my sleeve.The bones had healed. Mostly. But every storm still settled deep inside them, leaving behind a dull ache that never truly disappeared.Three years ago, after the attack, I accepted an invitation I had once turned down: The Romano Family’s Consigliere in Sicily. Don Romano was the shadow Mafia of Europe.They had been recruiting me long before my life fell apart, but back then, I had refused.I was protective of my sister, committed to the Moretti family, and deeply in love with the man by my side. Turns out, every single one of them failed me. So I took the offer.The three years that followed became brutally simple: training and rehabilitation. My days belonged to the Romano Family; my nights belonged to physical therapy. I refused to break. I had spent my entire life becoming the best, and

The day before I left for Sicily, I signed the final papers releasing me from the Moretti Family.The Don looked at me for a long moment. "That boy still doesn't know what he's lost.""He made his choice, and I made mine." I inclined my head in a quiet, respectful bow."Thank you, Don."By the time I pulled into my driveway that evening, the neighborhood was unusually quiet.Too quiet.The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Someone was watching me.As I stepped out of the vehicle, a shadow detached itself from the darkness.Dominic, Sienna’s abusive husband and Capo of the Russo Syndicate.A heavy aluminum baseball bat rested across his shoulder. He flashed a smile that never reached his cold eyes."Long time, Claire."My heartbeat slowed to a calculated rhythm. Fear was a luxury that got operators killed. "So this is about revenge."He chuckled, a low, rasping sound. "What do yo think this is?""You and Chase kicked in my front door and dragged my wife out in front of my entire Fa
