LOGINMassimo was impressed. Lucilla must have despised having to testify against Massimo—and by extension, the mafia—in order to protect her father. So she made sure such a situation wouldn't happened again, at least not without plenty of warning.She really was a resourceful woman. No wonder Elena had b
Massimo was finishing up mafia work when Lucilla Abano stopped by."Your advisor, Consigliere Luca, let me in," Lucilla explained, "but if you're busy, I can return later."Maybe a few months ago, Massimo would've taken the easy escape and sent Lucilla away—but that was back when she had tried to fl

She heard a loud clicking noise, but nothing happened."A blank," Don Abano declared. "Elena Vitale has survived!"The other mafia members began discussing their judgment. It was a formality really. Elena Vitale had won the game of Russian Roulette—everyone knew what that meant.Massimo stopped list
