Victor Hale had spent years believing the past would remain buried.

He had changed addresses, identities and loyalties. He had watched the Council rise in influence and had convinced himself that the decisions he made during the destruction of the Black Vipers were necessary.

Now Sofia Vasilev was searching for him.

And he knew exactly why.

At a private apartment overlooking the harbour, Victor poured himself a drink. His phone vibrated.

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 70 – The Truth on the Device

    The Russo estate had never felt so crowded.Victor Hale sat at the far end of the conference table, guarded by two of Giovanni’s men. His face was pale, and his hands trembled whenever someone moved behind him. He looked less like a former Council director and more like a man who had finally run out of places to hide.Sofia stood opposite him, the memory device resting in her palm.“You said this contains the final transfer record,” she began. “Then I want to know why you waited so long to hand it over.”Victor swallowed. “Because the information inside it could get people killed.”“People have already died because of you.”“I know.”“Then don't waste my time.”Damian leaned against the wall beside her. His expression was cold, his arms folded across his chest.Giovanni sat at the head of the table, watching Victor carefully. Alex had connected

    Victor Hale had spent years believing the past would remain buried.He had changed addresses, identities and loyalties. He had watched the Council rise in influence and had convinced himself that the decisions he made during the destruction of the Black Vipers were necessary.Now Sofia Vasilev was searching for him.And he knew exactly why.At a private apartment overlooking the harbour, Victor poured himself a drink. His phone vibrated.The message contained only six words.Madam Lee knows Evelyn has resurfaced.Victor closed his eyes.He had warned Elena this day might come.He had also promised her that if her children ever found the truth, he would help them.For years, he had failed to keep that promise.Now he had one chance to make things right.He opened an encrypted contact list and selected a number he had not used in years.“It's time,” he said when the

  • 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

    “Please spare me, I didn’t mean to betray you, please.” The man cried as his face was bloody and unrecognisable. “I wonder if that’s what came to your mind when you were leaking information about my organisation.” A man seated on a chair in front of the bleeding man said with a breezy voi

  • The Mafia's Assassin (Don Russo)   CHAPTER 1

    Sofia jolted up from her bed at the sound of her alarm clock going off, she rubbed her eyes and sighed as she clicked the alarming ring off. She stretched her body for five minutes before swinging her body from the bed and straight to the floor. Sofia walked to her full-length mirror and examined
