The penthouse was quiet, almost too quiet. The noise from the city below felt like a distant hum, muffled by the thick walls and the weight of the decisions that had been made within them. Camilla sat at the long, polished table in the war room, the map of their territory spread out before her like a battlefield, and her thoughts felt like they were too scattered to grasp. It was as if the very air had thickened after the victory, pressing in on her from all sides. Every small sound felt magnified—each breath, each shift in the room. The calm before the storm, she thought. Only this time, she wasn’t sure if the storm was a certainty or simply a lingering shadow.

Riccardo had been uncharacteristically quiet as well. He hadn’t left her side all day, not that she minded. His presence was a constant reassurance, but today, she could tell that even he was caught in the same stillness, caught in the aftermath of the choices they had made.

“How do you do it?” Camilla asked suddenly, her vo

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Final Stand

    The bullet whizzed past Camilla, grazing her shoulder as she ducked, instinctively pulling away from the blast of sound. Her heart pounded in her chest, the rush of adrenaline overwhelming her senses. The world seemed to slow as she watched Marco, his face a mask of calm indifference, even as Riccardo’s form blurred toward him with predatory grace. Another shot rang out, but this time, it was too late. Riccardo was already on him, his movements a blur of speed and force. Marco’s eyes widened, just for a moment, before he regained his composure and aimed his gun at Riccardo’s chest. The clash of power between them felt like an electric shock in the air, raw and dangerous. Camilla, still recovering from the shock of the first shot, pushed herself into action. She couldn’t let Marco get away again—couldn’t let him slip through their fingers a second time. She drew her gun, her hand steady despite the sting of pain in her shoulder. There was no room for hesitation. No time for doubt. “

  • The Mafia Protocol   A Trap Set In Silence

    The note on the floor was a sickening twist, like a promise wrapped in the coldest of truths. Camilla crouched down, fingers brushing over the paper before she picked it up, her heart pounding in her chest. The words were simple, but the implications were far from it. “You’re too late.” It was a taunt. A game. Marco had always been good at making others play by his rules, but this time, the stakes were higher than ever. Camilla felt a wave of fury rise in her chest, but she forced it down, pushing past the anger and focusing on the task at hand. “We’ve been played,” Riccardo muttered, his voice as hard as stone. He stood across the room, eyes scanning every corner, every shadow. He was already calculating their next move, as always. “You think Marco’s still here?” Isadora asked, her voice tense. “No,” Riccardo said. “This is a diversion. A warning. We were too predictable.” Camilla clenched her fists, the note still clutched in her hand. “He knew we’d come. He knew exactly where

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Silence Before The Fury

    The night had settled over the city like a blanket, heavy with the weight of secrets and unspoken promises. Camilla stood by the window once again, the view of the city’s lights a distant comfort as she searched for clarity. The world below seemed unaware of the storm that was brewing—of the treachery hiding in plain sight. But Camilla wasn’t fooled. She could feel it in her bones, a creeping tension that wouldn’t go away. Marco’s betrayal had shaken her more than she cared to admit, and though she was trying to focus on the next steps, her mind kept circling back to the man she had once trusted. To the man who had been more like family than just an ally. But that was the problem, wasn’t it? They had trusted him. And that trust had been shattered. Now, there was no room for sentiment, no space for old loyalties. “Camilla.” She didn’t need to turn to know it was Riccardo. His voice had that edge to it, the one that was never far from his words when he was angry—or when he was about

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Depths Of Betrayal

    The city skyline stretched out before Camilla like a labyrinth of steel and glass, each tower an ominous reminder of the power at play. She stood on the balcony of their penthouse, her arms crossed, watching the world below. The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the streets, but in her heart, there was no light to be found. The meeting with their allies earlier that day had left her with a bitter taste in her mouth. It had been too easy, too clean, and in a world like theirs, that meant trouble was brewing. There was always a hidden agenda, always a twist lurking beneath the surface. And for the first time in a long while, Camilla felt that familiar unease settle in her chest, tightening with each passing moment. “Camilla,” Riccardo’s voice called from behind her. She didn’t need to turn around to know it was him. She could feel his presence, even without seeing him. “We need to talk.” She closed her eyes for a moment, gathering herself before faci

  • The Mafia Protocol   Aftermath Of Victory

    The city outside the compound was alive with the hum of traffic, the neon lights flickering like stars in the cool night air. But inside the walls of the once-feared stronghold, everything was eerily still. The storm had passed, leaving destruction in its wake, but in its place was something far more ominous: the silence of a world forever altered. Camilla stood by the large glass window in the control room, her gaze distant as she watched the city below. Her hands, once trembling with adrenaline, now rested at her sides. She was no longer the same woman who had entered this building hours ago. Victory had a cost—one she was still coming to terms with. Riccardo’s presence behind her was palpable, his silence more deafening than any words could have been. She didn’t need to turn around to feel the weight of his gaze on her, the intensity of the moment still crackling between them. For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Finally, Riccardo moved, stepping toward her. “You did it,”
