The room was dim, lit only by the flickering light of a dying bulb and the dull hum of distant city life beyond the cracked windows. Camilla stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleek black dress Riccardo had warned her not to wear. Not because it was revealing—but because it sent a message: I am not afraid.

She had set the meeting herself. Sent a private message through a back channel Viktor would recognize. She knew he would take the bait.

Riccardo hadn’t spoken to her since she told him she was going anyway.

“You think you’re ready for this?” Marco had asked, arms crossed as he leaned against the wall of her dressing room.

“No,” Camilla had replied honestly. “But I’m not waiting to be.”

Now, with every step she took toward the underground club where Viktor awaited, Camilla could feel the weight of the moment pressing on her shoulders. She wasn’t just doing this for herself—she was doing it for the life she and Riccardo were building. For control. For survival. For power.

  • The Mafia Protocol   Ashes of the Past

    The world seemed to stop.Riccardo stood in the warehouse, his arms trembling as he held Camilla’s lifeless body in his arms. Her blood stained his shirt, mingling with the darkening bruises around her neck and the traces of pain still etched in her expression. It felt like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving him suffocating in his grief. Her absence was a gaping wound in the center of his chest, and every breath he took only seemed to deepen the ache.It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.He had promised her that he would protect her. He had sworn that nothing would touch her. And now, she was gone, stolen from him by the very world he had fought to control.Her body felt so light in his arms, so fragile. It was a stark contrast to the woman who had stood by him through every battle, every trial. The woman who had fought for their empire, for their survival, with a fierce determination that mirrored his own.He closed his eyes, a deep, guttural sound escaping his throa

  • The Mafia Protocol   Endgame

    The city was a ghost under the shroud of night—its streets empty, the air heavy with anticipation. Camilla stood on the rooftop of their penthouse, the wind tugging at her hair as she looked out over the skyline. Below, the city felt like an intricate puzzle, its pieces scattered in every direction. The next move was the last one. She could feel it in her bones.Riccardo’s footsteps approached, and she didn’t need to turn to know it was him. She could feel his presence even when he was silent. He stood next to her, his gaze following hers, his posture a reflection of the same tense anticipation.“We’ve reached the endgame,” he said, his voice low, but with an edge of finality.Camilla nodded, her eyes never leaving the horizon. “I know. Everything we’ve done has led to this moment. If we don’t succeed tonight, it’s over.”Riccardo’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He didn’t need to say anything. They both knew what was at stake.Hours earlier, the plan had been set into motion. Ca

  • The Mafia Protocol   Trial By Fire

    The air was thick with tension as Camilla and Riccardo prepared for their next move. The plan was simple in its execution but complex in its implications. They had to outsmart the Mendoza cartel, show them they were not to be underestimated, and reclaim their position in the criminal hierarchy. But nothing in their world was ever truly simple.In the darkened war room, Camilla stood before the massive table, a map of the city sprawled across it. Each move, each decision, was a calculated risk—one that could either strengthen their power or tear it all down. The stakes had never been higher.“We can’t wait any longer,” Camilla said, her voice sharp with authority. “The longer we hesitate, the more vulnerable we become.”Riccardo was seated at the head of the table, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the surface. His eyes were cold, focused on the map as he traced the routes and connections, mentally planning their next steps. He looked up at her, his expression hard. “You’re righ

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Heart Of The Storm

    The city felt different the next morning—heavier, as if the air itself was charged with the weight of what was to come. Camilla stood on the balcony of their penthouse, staring out at the skyline as the first light of dawn broke through the clouds. The city was hers now, or at least, it would be. But nothing ever came easy in this world, and she knew it was just a matter of time before the storm hit.Behind her, Riccardo moved through the suite, his footsteps quiet but purposeful. She could feel his presence, the steady rhythm of his movements, and the subtle tension in the air that had lingered since the night before.“You’ve been quiet,” he said, his voice low, almost distant.She turned to face him, her gaze softening. “Just thinking.”“About?”“Everything,” she replied, her lips curling into a faint smile. “About how this city, this world… It’s all a game. And I’m just getting started.”Riccardo stepped closer, his eyes scanning her face with a mixture of concern and admiration. “

  • The Mafia Protocol   What Lies Beneath

    The following days were a blur of decisions, strategy, and an unsettling sense of calm. The world around them seemed to continue, unaffected by the storm that had just passed. But Camilla knew better. Beneath the surface, everything was changing.She stood in the war room, her gaze fixed on the map of the city spread out before her. Riccardo, Marco, and their top men were all gathered around the table, discussing their next move. The remnants of Viktor’s empire were scattered, but the pieces still held power. And power, as they knew all too well, was a dangerous thing.“Viktor may be gone,” Riccardo said, his voice low, “but his influence isn’t. We need to move quickly and take control of his territories. If we don’t, someone else will.”Camilla’s fingers drummed on the edge of the table, her mind racing. “We can’t just take control. It’s not that simple. We need to eliminate any threats that could rise up in the wake of Viktor’s death.”Riccardo’s eyes met hers. “That’s why you’re he

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Final Play

    The gunfire echoed in the penthouse like a storm breaking, filling every corner with a violent symphony. Camilla’s pulse raced as she ducked behind a pillar, heart thundering in her chest. Riccardo’s voice cut through the chaos like a beacon.“Stay low and stay close,” he shouted to her.She nodded, her fingers tightening around the weapon in her hand. The world outside the chaos seemed to shrink down to the present moment—survival, retribution, and the man who had orchestrated it all. Viktor Zorakov had set this trap, but he hadn’t anticipated what would happen next.The armed men, Viktor’s hired muscle, moved swiftly, but not swiftly enough. Riccardo and Marco were two steps ahead, returning fire with ruthless precision. Camilla’s gaze locked on Viktor, standing at the center of the room with an almost eerie calmness as bullets flew around him.“You’ve underestimated them,” she muttered to herself, her hand steadying her grip on the gun.The sound of a bullet ricocheting off the gla

    The figure in the doorway stood tall and imposing, his presence filling the room like a dark cloud. Riccardo’s eyes narrowed as he sized him up, every instinct on high alert. This was no ordinary man—he carried an aura of power that was unmistakable.Camilla could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on her chest. Who was this man, and how had he managed to stay hidden for so long?He stepped into the room with the calmness of someone who knew exactly what was about to happen—and who knew he had the upper hand. His eyes were cold, calculating, and entirely devoid of remorse. There was no fear in his gaze. Only contempt.“Impressive,” he said, his voice smooth, almost mocking. “I thought you’d never find me, but here you are. Just a little too late.”Riccardo’s grip on his gun tightened. “Who the hell are you?”The man didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he surveyed the room as if he were inspecting a piece of art, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his lips.“I’m someon

  • The Mafia Protocol   Shadow Play

    The next few days were a blur of activity. The air around Riccardo and Camilla seemed charged with an unspoken urgency, a sense that they were on the verge of uncovering something much larger than they had anticipated. Every corner of their empire, every trusted ally, was under scrutiny. But as the walls closed in, so did the danger. Whoever was playing this game knew the stakes—and they were willing to destroy everything to win.Riccardo spent hours in the war room, poring over surveillance feeds, intel, and reports. The room was usually a place of calculated moves, but today, it felt like a pressure cooker, each passing minute building the tension. Camilla stood beside him, her presence a constant reminder of how much more was at risk than just business. She was his everything now, and anyone who thought they could take her from him was making a fatal mistake.As the clock ticked toward midnight, Riccardo’s phone buzzed. His hand moved to it instantly, eyes never leaving the screen

  • The Mafia Protocol   Veils and Whispers

    The morning after Julian’s execution, the penthouse felt colder than usual. Even the sun’s rays, streaming in through the massive windows, seemed to have lost their warmth. Camilla sat at the kitchen island, her coffee untouched, staring out at the city below. The events of the night before replayed in her mind, like a cruel loop. Julian’s death had been swift—necessary, according to Riccardo. But it hadn’t brought her the closure she thought it would.She had expected to feel satisfaction, perhaps even a sense of justice. Instead, all she felt was unease.The door behind her opened, and she didn’t have to turn to know it was Riccardo. His presence filled the room like a shadow, both comforting and suffocating. She remained still, her fingers tracing the rim of the untouched cup.“You’re quiet this morning,” Riccardo said, his voice soft but firm.Camilla didn’t respond immediately, unsure of what to say. She wasn’t sure what she was feeling, let alone how to explain it. Instead, she
