Tranquility Before Turmoil

last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-05-08 15:16:55

The tension in the air was palpable, a suffocating weight that made it hard to breathe. Camilla could feel it in her bones, a quiet hum of unease that reverberated through the estate. Despite the movement and action surrounding her, it felt like everything was on the verge of exploding. Marco was still out there, pulling the strings in the shadows, and she knew it was only a matter of time before he made his next move.

Riccardo had made it clear that he would stand by her through this. He had rallied their forces, solidified their alliances, and ensured that no stone was left unturned. But Camilla could feel her own resolve hardening as the days passed. This wasn’t just about reclaiming her position; it was about proving that she wouldn’t be a victim, that she could control her own fate.

The large windows of her office overlooked the estate’s gardens, their stillness mocking the turmoil inside her. Outside, the wind whipped through the trees, bending them in its wake. The sky above wa

  • The Mafia Protocol   A Debt Paid In Flesh

    The rain fell hard against the cracked windshield of Camilla’s beat-up sedan as she pulled into the gravel driveway of her father’s estate. A single dim light flickered above the front door, barely illuminating the ivy-covered walls of the old mansion. It looked abandoned—too quiet, too still. Her heart pounded as she stepped out of the car, high heels crunching over loose gravel. She hadn’t been here in months. Not since the last screaming match with her father. He’d begged her to stay away, told her things were getting dangerous. She hadn’t listened. She never did. Now he wasn’t answering her calls, and his assistant had left her a voicemail in the middle of the night. Come home. Urgently. No details. Just panic in her voice. Camilla shoved open the heavy door. It wasn’t locked. “Dad?” she called out, stepping inside. Silence. The house was too cold, the kind of cold that seeped into your bones—not from weather, but from something wrong. Lights were off in the foyer,

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Devil’s House

    The ink was still drying when Riccardo slid the contract back into the folder with the precision of a man sealing someone’s fate. Camilla stared at the paper, her pulse thudding in her ears. Her signature looked foreign beside her father’s. Like a final breath before drowning. “That’s it?” she whispered. “It’s done?” Riccardo nodded. “Congratulations, Mrs. Falcone.” The words hit her like a slap. She wasn’t married. Not really. Not in the way it was supposed to mean. This was a transaction. She had sold herself to the devil and signed it in ink instead of blood. And he wore satisfaction like a tailored suit. “You’ll move into my house by tonight,” he added. “You’ll find the terms of your… stay quite livable.” “Like a gilded prison,” she muttered. He smirked. “Only if you try to run.” She shot him a glare, but he’d already turned his back, reaching for his phone. “Car will be outside in twenty minutes. Pack light.” “I’m not a stray dog you picked up off the stre

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Vows We Never Chose

    Camilla sat in the back of the blacked-out SUV, her fingers clutched around the hem of the white silk dress Riccardo had laid out for her. Not a gown—nothing dramatic. Just simple, sleeveless, and elegant. The kind of white that dared you to stain it. The irony wasn’t lost on her. She looked down at her hands. No bouquet. No bridesmaids. Just trembling fingers that wouldn’t stop. Riccardo sat beside her, dressed in a black three-piece suit. Not a wrinkle on him. He looked like he was headed to a corporate board meeting, not his own wedding. His jaw was clean-shaven, his expression unreadable, and not once had he glanced her way. This wasn’t romance. It was a branding. “You could at least pretend you’re not dragging me into hell,” she muttered. He finally looked at her. “Hell? Camilla, I own hell. I’m just giving you a front-row seat.” She rolled her eyes, but it was a weak defense. Because beneath her sarcasm was fear—and he could see it. He always could. The churc

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Devil’s Threads

    Camilla had never felt so alone. She stood in the middle of her new room, the ornate door locked behind her, staring at the phone Riccardo had left for her. The weight of it in her hand felt like an anchor, holding her in place. The screen taunted her: Riccardo as the only contact. She couldn’t trust him. Not now. Not after everything. But the message… “You’re free to leave. But if you do, you’ll be hunted.” Her fingers hovered over the screen, torn between curiosity and fear. What had her father gotten them into? What was the full extent of the debts he had owed to Riccardo—and to those far more dangerous than him? A knock at the door. Camilla’s heart leapt. She quickly shoved the phone into her bag and hurried to open it. Her mind raced through a dozen possibilities—maybe Riccardo had returned, maybe it was just another servant—but when she swung it open, she was met with the sight of the maid from earlier, holding a tray of food. “Dinner,” the maid said with a blank

  • The Mafia Protocol   Secrets in the Shadows

    The mansion was a labyrinth of power, money, and shadows. Camilla moved through it like a ghost, never truly seen but always watching. Every day brought new pieces of the puzzle, but each answer only led to more questions. She had to know who was behind the debts. Riccardo’s words still echoed in her mind: Your father promised me a daughter. Camilla had been a means to an end. A bargaining chip in a game far too big for her to understand. But that didn’t matter now. What mattered was survival. And to survive, she needed to get to the heart of this empire. The next morning, Camilla woke to find a fresh stack of papers waiting for her on the desk. She hadn’t asked for them, hadn’t even heard a knock at the door, but there they were. As she read through the contracts, her blood ran cold. They were debts. But not just any debts. These were linked to her father’s business dealings with Riccardo’s family and several other powerful families. The amounts were staggering, and the d

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Shadow’s Truth

    The docks were quiet. Too quiet for comfort.Camilla stood at the edge of the abandoned warehouse, the salty air of the ocean stinging her skin. The moon was barely a sliver in the sky, but it cast enough light to make the scene feel eerily surreal. The entire place felt like it had been abandoned by time, left to decay in silence. She could feel the weight of the night pressing in on her chest, each passing second heavy with the uncertainty of what was to come.She checked her watch. 10:03 p.m.No one was here.Her pulse quickened. Should she turn back? Should she wait a little longer? Riccardo had warned her—had told her in no uncertain terms that stepping out of line would have consequences.But this wasn’t about stepping out of line anymore. This was about survival. And if anyone had information about her father’s dealings, about Riccardo’s true motives, it was the mysterious figure who had sent her the message.She took a deep breath, walking closer to the warehouse. Her boots cl

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Devil’s Game

    Camilla’s pulse hammered in her chest, the weight of Riccardo’s gaze pressing down on her like a thousand pounds. Luca’s hand tightened around her throat, his grip unyielding, yet she could feel the tension in his muscles, like he was waiting for something to happen. Waiting for her to make her move.Riccardo stood there, calm, composed, as if everything was going according to plan. His eyes never left Camilla, the darkness in them unnerving.“You always did have a knack for getting yourself into trouble, didn’t you?” Riccardo’s voice was smooth, cold, almost mocking.Luca’s grip loosened slightly, but his posture didn’t shift. Camilla’s mind raced. She could feel the blood pounding in her ears, but there was something more—an overwhelming sense of clarity. She was caught in the web of a game that had no rules. Riccardo wasn’t just a mafia boss; he was a man who saw everything, knew everything, and controlled everything around him.But that didn’t mean he controlled her.“Let me go,”

  • The Mafia Protocol   Broken Trust

    The car ride back to Riccardo’s mansion was silent. The tension in the air was thick, suffocating even. Camilla sat in the backseat, her mind racing as the city passed by outside the tinted windows. The events of the night replayed in her head, each moment sharper, more vivid than the last.Riccardo’s words echoed in her ears. You’re mine.The words felt like chains, and she could feel them tightening around her chest with each passing second. She had come to the docks, thinking she could find answers, thinking she could control her own fate. But now, she realized, she had no control at all. Riccardo had been right about one thing: she was already part of the game.And there was no escaping it.Luca sat in the passenger seat, his eyes forward, his posture stiff. He hadn’t spoken a word since they left the warehouse, and Camilla had no intention of speaking to him either. The whole thing—this entire situation—was beyond her comprehension. She had been thrown into a world of danger, man

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Line In The Sand

    The storm outside continued to rage, a mirror of the chaos brewing inside Camilla. Every muscle in her body screamed for action, for revenge, for justice. Marco had crossed the line, and she wasn’t going to let him get away with it. She would expose him, destroy his plans, and claim back what was rightfully hers.The estate felt emptier than it ever had before. The vast, luxurious hallways seemed to stretch endlessly, and Camilla couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched. Even though she knew Marco was gone, she felt his presence in the shadows, lingering like a specter.Her hand tightened around the phone in her pocket. She hadn’t contacted Riccardo yet—she couldn’t. Not now. Marco was too dangerous, too unpredictable. She needed to be smart about this, make sure she had all the information before bringing in anyone else.As she paced through the hall, her mind was in overdrive. She had a plan. She always did. The first step was to solidify her power and make sure that ev

  • The Mafia Protocol   Lingering Treason

    Camilla’s mind was set. Marco had betrayed her in the most brutal way possible, and she wouldn’t let it slide. She had built this empire from nothing, fought tooth and nail to gain a seat at the table, and now Marco wanted to tear it all down. Not on her watch.The night was her ally as she moved through the estate, her footsteps silent, a sharp contrast to the roaring storm inside her. The estate, once her sanctuary, felt like a cage now—its lavish halls and gilded corners were a reminder of everything that had been built on lies. Marco’s lies.She didn’t know where Riccardo had gone, but right now, she didn’t care. She didn’t need him. She didn’t need anyone. She had always been able to rely on herself, and she would do so again.Her steps carried her to the library, where she’d spent countless hours in the past, pouring over documents, making plans, learning how to navigate the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld. The scent of aged paper and leather filled the air as she

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Ultimate Game

    Camilla’s mind raced as she stared at Riccardo, the weight of his words sinking in. She had trusted him, believed in him, and now he was telling her she had no idea who the real enemy was. The room felt suffocating, the air thick with tension as she searched his face for any hint of deception. But his expression was unreadable—cold, almost distant.“What are you talking about?” Camilla asked, her voice a mixture of disbelief and anger. “Who’s been pulling the strings? Cane’s been our enemy from the start, Riccardo. Who else could there be?”Riccardo took a slow step toward her, his gaze unwavering. “You still don’t see it, do you?” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “The person you’ve been fighting against all this time wasn’t just Cane. It was someone closer to you—someone you thought was on your side.”Camilla’s heart skipped a beat, the blood draining from her face. A thousand possibilities flashed through her mind, but one name stood out. She tried to shake the thought away, bu

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Betrayal Unfolds

    Camilla’s pulse pounded in her ears as she made her way down the corridor, the weight of betrayal heavy in her chest. She could feel the walls closing in on her, the estate that she had once ruled now feeling like a prison. Her empire—her hard-won kingdom—was under siege, and the very people she had entrusted with its protection were the ones who had turned against her.The thought churned in her stomach, twisting in knots of rage and disbelief. How long had they been working with Cane? How many times had they smiled in her face, whispered loyalty in her ear, all the while plotting her downfall? The question burned in her mind, but it was a luxury she couldn’t afford to dwell on.She reached the estate’s grand hall, where she knew the remaining loyal men were holding the line. She had to act fast—there was no room for hesitation now. With Cane’s forces infiltrating the compound, every second counted. But the betrayal that lurked within her own ranks threatened to unravel everything.L

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Enemy Within

    The battle for the estate had turned into a brutal, bloody warzone. The sounds of gunfire and explosions filled the air, echoing throughout the sprawling grounds. Camilla stood at the heart of it all, moving with precision, her mind calculating every step as though she were playing a high-stakes game of chess.Her team was well-prepared—trained to respond to any threat—but this was different. Cane’s forces were relentless, and his men had infiltrated more than one layer of security. It wasn’t just an attack—it was a full-scale assault, one meant to crush her and her empire.As the fight raged on, Camilla’s thoughts remained sharp. She wasn’t just defending the estate; she was fighting for her life, for everything she had worked for, for the future she’d been building. She couldn’t afford to lose—not when everything was on the line.Riccardo had been eerily silent throughout the chaos. She hadn’t seen him since the initial attack had started. Camilla’s gut twisted in anticipation as th

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Trap

    The battle at the warehouse had been won, but Camilla knew that it wasn’t a victory. It was merely the opening salvo in a war that was only just beginning. Cane wouldn’t take this defeat lightly—she knew him well enough by now. He was ruthless, strategic, and calculating, and he would retaliate in ways she couldn’t yet predict.The tension in the air around the estate was palpable. Every person working under her had seen the stakes increase, and Camilla could feel the weight of their expectations. She wasn’t just fighting for herself anymore—she was fighting for everyone who had put their faith in her. And the consequences of losing were too great to fathom.Riccardo had been strangely quiet since the warehouse attack. Camilla had noticed it, though she didn’t comment on it. He had become more withdrawn, even as he continued his regular business dealings. She wondered if it was his own way of dealing with the escalating conflict, or if there was something more—something she hadn’t yet

  • The Mafia Protocol   The Reckoning

    The weeks that followed were filled with tension. Camilla could feel the undercurrent of change rippling through the empire, as if every decision she made was building toward a storm. The whispers of Darius Cane’s involvement were growing louder, and every night she lay awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering what his next move would be. It wasn’t just about power anymore—it was about survival.Riccardo had kept his distance at times, his instincts telling him to give Camilla space to learn the ropes of her new role. He could see her growing stronger with every passing day. She no longer hesitated, no longer second-guessed herself. She was becoming the leader he knew she could be, but it also made him nervous. The more confident she became, the more dangerous she was to the world around her.But Riccardo wasn’t the only one watching. Darius Cane was out there, lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike.Camilla was seated in her private office, a glass of red wine resting on the

    The morning after Bellamy’s death, the world still turned as if nothing had changed.But Camilla knew better. The game had shifted. The board had been rearranged. And now, the question wasn’t whether she would survive—but what she would become.The vineyard, once a symbol of secrecy and shadows, now stood at the heart of an empire reborn. Its rolling hills, rich with life, reflected the promise of a future yet to be written.Camilla stood at the window of her office, looking out over the land she had inherited. Riccardo had given her the space to grow, to build something lasting. The air smelled of grapes, of wealth, of power.But it also smelled of potential.Riccardo entered the room behind her, his presence as commanding as ever, though his gaze softened when it landed on her.“How does it feel?” he asked, his voice low, as if daring the question to be answered.“Different,” Camilla replied. She didn’t turn to face him, still lost in the view. “I thought I’d feel lighter, but there
