Under the agreement Rocco'd signed, Shadow took possession of the estate.His remaining businesses fell apart as his creditors demanded payment. Men who had once sworn loyalty to him disappeared overnight. Others sold what they knew to rival families in exchange for protection.Old enemies followed. They smelled weakness and closed in.Rocco ran through the city with nobody left to protect him.Somebody cornered him in a dead-end alley.I heard the report from one of Vincenzo's men. Rocco was shot more than thirty times. He died in the alley, and by the time anyone found him, there was no doubt about what had happened.I held the phone against my ear for a moment after the call ended.Ten years. A marriage. My child.Rocco had spent every piece of me he could reach.Now the city had taken the rest.Claire lost the baby after the beating caused a severe hemorrhage.Her

    That night, after Rocco signed the mortgage contract, I had Vincenzo's men deliver a huge gift box to the Falcone estate.It stood in the center of the living room, nearly as tall as a man.Rocco sat near the bar with a bottle in his hand.Claire curled up on the sofa, one hand over her stomach as tears ran down her face.She kept looking at Rocco, waiting for him to soften."What is this?" Rocco asked, staring at the box.The guard gave him no answer. He pulled the ribbon loose.The box tipped over.A woman rolled out across the floor, tied up with rope and covered in bruises.Rocco's glass slipped from his hand and shattered."Lily?" His voice cracked. "You were paralyzed in a hospital."Claire sprang off the sofa.The color drained from her face. She rushed toward Lily, her hand raised."Shut up!" Claire screamed. "You worthless bitch, don't say a word!"Lily recoiled from her. Her face crumpled as she looked at Rocco."Boss Rocco, please!" she cried. "Spare me! Claire made me do it!

    Vincenzo straightened and snapped his fingers."Her name is Lily. She’s a struggling actress. My people found her at an underground casino on the South Side. She’d been living under an assumed name and spending money traced to a Falcone account."An hour later, I stood in the basement of an abandoned warehouse.Lily sat tied to a chair. She had been cursing at the guards, yet her face drained of color when I walked in."Godmother Sofia... I don't know anything!"She fought against the ropes until the chair legs scraped the floor. "It was an accident. It really was an accident!"I walked toward her without answering.My hand slid into my boot and pulled out a military knife. I drove it into her thigh.Lily screamed.I pulled the blade free. Blood sprayed across my coat.She sobbed and bent over as far as the ropes allowed. I grabbed her jaw and forced her face up."How much did Claire pay you to push me down those stairs?""I don't know what you mean,"Lily gasped.I turned my wrist and p

    "No! That isn't what happened! This is normal volatility from financial leverage!"Claire crumpled onto the floor, landing among the shattered glass.Dust covered her Chanel suit.Her polished executive act had vanished."Volatility, my ass."The Russian slammed his gun into her face.Blood poured from Claire's nose.She screamed and rolled across the floor, both hands over her face."Stop!"Rocco pulled his pistol and aimed it at the Russian. "You're on my property!""My property?" The Russian laughed.A dozen submachine guns rose around the room.Rocco stood frozen, his pistol still raised."Without Sofia holding your family together, what are the Falcones worth?"the Russian asked. "Three days. You bring me thirty million dollars, or you bring me your head."The buyers walked out, stepping over broken furniture and glass.On the projection, Rocco sank into his chair.Claire crawled to him, blood streaking down her mouth."Rocco, the system had an issue. My model is sound. You have to

    I sat in Vincenzo's armored car and watched Chicago slide past the window.Only after we had left the Falcone estate behind did I remember basic manners."Thank you."Vincenzo kept his eyes on the road ahead. "In your mind, are we only partners?"I turned toward him."Those women weren't my mistresses," he said. "My enemies sent them to get close to me. They were assassins, not lovers.""You said you never explained yourself to anyone."My throat still burned from the dust. "Does the great Vincenzo Santoro need my sympathy now?""Sofia, I don't need your sympathy."His hand rested on the center console. He kept it there, far from me."Rocco trained you to be one of the sharpest operators in Chicago," he said. "Then he treated you like a disposable blade. You shouldn’t have to stand beside trash.""Vincenzo, we're partners."I leaned back and closed my eyes.He stayed quiet.Cigar smoke and leather filled the car.My chest tightened again.The itching in my throat spread lower, and exhau

    Vincenzo crossed the ruined hall and dropped to one knee beside me.He pulled an epinephrine auto-injector from the emergency kit one of his men had brought and pressed it against my thigh.The medication burned as it entered my system.Slowly, painfully, I managed to draw a fuller breath.He wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with his thumb.His touch was careful. It felt wrong coming from a man Chicago called a butcher."Sorry I was late,"he said.I looked into his eyes.Rocco had spent ten years treating me as if I belonged to him. Vincenzo looked at me as if I had a choice.Behind him, Rocco dragged himself out from the broken stone and raised his gun."The Santoro family storms into my territory with guns?"Rocco shouted. "You're declaring war!"Vincenzo stayed beside me. His hand remained under my elbow when my legs gave out.He snapped his fingers.The hall filled with the metallic clicks of rifles being readied."Rocco,"Vincenzo said, rising to his feet. "Look around."
