The silence that followed Damian’s confession was heavier than gunfire.

Sofia sat on the edge of the bed, elbows braced on her knees, staring at the floor as though it might open up and swallow her whole. Her mind refused to settle, thoughts colliding with one another in violent succession. Sister. Blood. Lies. The Council. Black Vipers. Each word felt foreign and intimate all at once, like a language she had

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 73 – The Girl They Want

    The message remained on the screen long after everyone had finished reading it.IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR MOTHER, COME WITHOUT THE RUSSO MEN. AND BRING THE GIRL WHO BELONGS TO THE PAST.Sofia stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the words.“It's a trap,” Damian said.“Obviously.”“Then we're not going.”Sofia turned toward him. “If there's even a chance that woman was Elena, I'm not walking away.”“And if they use her to get to you?”“Then they'll discover they made a mistake.”Giovanni approached the table. “We need to find Alexis and Mara first. Whoever sent this message knows about them. That means they're part of the plan.”Alex's voice came through the speakers.“I've been trying to locate Mara's last known phone. It was switched off after the attack on her safe house.”“Can you tr

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 68 – The Names We Carry

    The archive occupied three secure rooms beneath Russo's estate.Becca had divided the recovered files into separate categories: Black Viper membership, Council operations, survivor locations and records relating to the children evacuated before the sanctuary fell.Sofia stood behind her, reading the names.Some were familiar.Others belonged to women who had disappeared long before she was born.“There's something strange here,” Becca said.Sofia leaned over her shoulder.“What?”“Several names appear in both the Viper records and the Council's personnel files. They weren't simply killed after the raid. Some were recruited.”Alex looked up from his computer.“Or forced to work for them.”Becca nodded.“That's what I'm thinking.”Sofia studied the list.The Council hadn't merely destroyed the Black Vipers. It had taken their knowledge, their methods and, in some cases, their people.“They turned the survivors into the very thing their mothers fought against,” she said.Damian entered w

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 67 – The Child in the Photograph

    Sofia read the sentence again.There is another child you must find before the Council does.The vehicle was silent except for the engine and the distant sound of communications coming through Mica's headset.Damian leaned closer to the letter.“Who is the girl in the photograph?”Natalia stared at the image. Her expression had changed from shock to something resembling grief.“Her name is Alexis.”Sofia looked up sharply.“Alexis?”Natalia nodded.“She was very young when Elena took that photograph. Her mother was one of the women closest to yours. She died during the destruction of the sanctuary.”Damian studied the little girl.“So Alexis was connected to the Black Vipers before the Council recruited her?”“Yes. Elena promised her mother she would protect the child.”Sofia looked down at the photograph again.The betrayal suddenly felt more complicated, but no less painful.“Alexis knew about this?”“Not everything. She was told that Elena had abandoned her and that the Council was

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 66 - The House of Serpents

    The estate stood beyond the city, hidden behind a line of tall trees and surrounded by an old stone wall.From a distance, it looked like an ordinary country residence. Beautiful gardens, large windows and carefully maintained grounds concealed the security systems protecting the property.Sofia studied the building through the binoculars.“Mara has made herself comfortable,” Alex remarked beside her.“She always liked having somewhere to hide,” Natalia replied from the back of the vehicle.Sofia lowered the binoculars.“You've been here before?”“Once. Many years ago. Elena brought me here when Mara was still pretending to be loyal.”Damian turned towards her.“What did you see?”“A house full of women who believed they were protecting the Black Vipers. Some were former members. Others had been recruited after the sanctuary fell.” Natalia paused. “They didn't know what Mara had done.”Sofia looked towards the estate again.“Do you recognise anyone still working there?”Natalia examin

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   Chapter 65 - The Truth He Left Behind

    For several seconds, nobody moved.Sofia stared at Natalia, trying to understand the weight behind her words."Your father."Damian looked from Natalia to his sister."Master Carlos?"Natalia nodded slowly.Sofia felt something tighten in her chest. She had known Master Carlos was her biological father. That truth had changed her understanding of her childhood, her training and the Council's hold over her.But she had never known he had been with Elena when their mother disappeared."You're telling me my father was with our mother?" Sofia asked."Yes.""Where?"Natalia lowered her eyes."I don't know exactly where they went. I only know they left together after the sanctuary was destroyed."Damian stepped closer to the table."Why didn't anyone tell us?""Because the Council made certain nobody could."Sofia shook her head."Master Carlos was at the Academy. He trained us. He worked for the Council.""He did," Natalia replied. "But you must understand that the man you knew at the Acad

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 64 - The Betrayer's Face

    Sofia stared at Natalia."Alexis?"Natalia shook her head."No. Alexis is only following orders.""Then who betrayed my mother?"Natalia looked towards the corridor."The woman who helped raise you before the Council took you away. The woman who knew every secret Elena had. The woman who was supposed to protect the Black Vipers."Sofia's grip tightened around her weapon."Give me her name.""Mara."The name struck Sofia with unexpected force.Mara.The older woman who had tested her when she first encountered the surviving Black Vipers. The woman who had recognised the serpent symbol and spoken of Elena as though she had known her personally.Sofia took a step back."You're saying Mara betrayed my mother?"Natalia nodded."She helped Madam Lee destroy the sanctuary.""That can't be true.""I wish it weren't."Sofia remembered Mara's calm expression, her questions and the way she had examined Sofia's instincts during the test. She remembered how Mara had seemed genuinely pleased to see

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 26

    Alexis had finally walked after Becca to their squad room so they could have that meeting and she wasn’t very happy about it. After all she was their vice- captain and she was the one that should have been the one calling for a meeting, yet she was being called to one. Although she followed

    Samantha and Brittany mad their way to where Don Russo was and stood close but not to close. Samantha looked up at the painting before her and she smiled.“What are you smiling about?” Brittany asked loud enough for Don Russo and Luca’s ears to hear.“I am smil

    The following day Alice was couped up under her duvet because she refused to leave her bed unless absolutely necessary. She had bathed of course and had her meals on time, but she refused to see anyone otherwise. Alice was beginning to regret ever asking to join into her brother’s Mafia once upon
