The Girl Behind His Throne Chapter 10
My family's business stretched across Europe and North America, with influence on both the legitimate side and the underworld.The assets under my name alone exceeded four billion dollars.I sat inside a private club overlooking the Port of Palermo, signing the final acquisition agreement of the day.Rain battered the windows outside.Down at the docks, laborers were still hauling crates of seafood through the storm, one after another beneath the freezing wind and rain.I glanced over absently, about to close the blinds.Then my eyes stopped.At the farthest corner of the pier, a man leaned heavily on a cheap aluminum crutch while carrying a crate across his back.He limped badly. Every step dragged half a beat behind, his ruined right leg barely following the rest of him.A scar split across his face from forehead to chin, layered over with countless smaller cuts, as though someone had carved him apart inch by inch with a knife.Leon Torres.Once handsome enough to drive th

My twin pistols fired in unison, dropping the first three assassins with clean shots to the head.My men moved in immediately and locked the situation down.Leon collapsed into a pool of blood, reaching toward me with a trembling, blood-soaked hand, trying to grab the hem of my dress.I stepped over him without hesitation."You think taking a few bullets for me erases everything?"When I was trapped in that desert, I was a hundred times more desperate than you are now."His fingers slipped from my skirt.His hand froze midair.The light in his eyes died instantly, and his head slammed against the ground as he lost consciousness.My head bodyguard asked how I wanted him handled."Throw him outside. His people will come collect him."After the failed assassination, the Ndrangheta mobilized hundreds of mercenaries and launched a full-scale assault on my port stronghold.The battle lasted three days and two nights.On the third night, I stood atop the command platform directin

Representatives from the ten most powerful underground families in the world gathered beneath the same roof.I sat at the center table reserved for the ruling families, the highest seat in the hall. Two Capos stood behind me on either side, silent and imposing.A slim cigarette rested between my fingers as smoke curled lazily into the air.Then Leon walked into the main chamber.The moment he saw me, everything else disappeared from his eyes.He strode straight toward me and reached out as if to pull me into his arms."You're alive... thank God."Come home with me."The two Capos behind me instantly drew their submachine guns and leveled them at his head.Around the hall, Torres soldiers reacted just as quickly, hands flying to their weapons as the entire room descended into a standoff.Leon turned sharply."Stand down!" he roared.Every Torres gun lowered.I exhaled a slow stream of smoke."You have the wrong person.""Mr. Torres, my name is Serena Nostra."Leon ignore

Anrina was strapped tightly to the interrogation chair."Leon! I was the one who helped you take the throne! You can't do this to me!"Leon crouched in front of her and slowly flipped open the diary, holding each page up for her to see."You helped me?"You stole her achievements. And you got her, and my child was killed."Anrina instantly collapsed to her knees, smashing her forehead against the floor as she begged for mercy.Leon leaned against the wall and watched in silence, his face completely unreadable.Once, Anrina had forced me into a bunny-girl outfit and made me serve drinks to her guests. Leon had her stripped naked and locked inside a freezer for two hours.Once, Anrina made me kneel outside in the rain. Leon ordered his men to pin her down and blast her with freezing water cannons through the entire night.Once, Anrina had people break both my legs.So Leon had his men hold her still while they brought down a hammer against her leg bones, one strike after anothe

Leon sat in the corner drinking alone, two bottles of whiskey already smashed at his feet.Shards of glass covered the floor, but he refused to let anyone clean it up.Anrina approached with a bowl of hot soup in her hands. She wore a silk nightgown with the neckline deliberately left low.Carefully, she sat beside him and leaned into his chest.The moment Leon caught the sickly sweet scent of her perfume, his stomach churned with disgust.He shoved her away violently."Get out."Anrina fell onto the broken glass, her palm instantly sliced open, blood dripping between the shards. Even then, she did not dare make a sound.After she left, Leon walked into my room.He lay down on my bed and pulled my blanket into his arms, greedily breathing in the fading trace of my scent still clinging to the fabric.Then suddenly, his hand brushed against something hidden beneath the mattress.A locked box.Without hesitation, he smashed the lock apart with the grip of his pistol.Inside w

Leon was half reclining against the headboard while Anrina curled up in his arms, scrolling through her phone.Without warning, a violent pain tore through his chest.The wine glass slipped from his hand and shattered against the floor.Anrina jumped in fright. "Leon? What's wrong?"He pressed a hand against his chest, an overwhelming sense of dread tightening around his heart for no reason he could explain.Leon shoved Anrina aside and grabbed the radio from the bedside table.Static crackled through the speaker.Bzzzt... bzzzt...Nothing but dead air.He switched frequencies.Then another.Still static.His expression darkened instantly."Find out what happened at the desert site."Half an hour later, one of his men dropped to one knee before him."Don... there was a massive explosion at the desert trading post. Everything within three hundred meters was reduced to ashes–""Where's Isabella?"The man visibly flinched at Leon's roar."We... we can't find her."For f
