Luca:

The warehouse near the Southside dock smelled like oil and steel, familiar and unchanged. My men stood quietly surrounding a table where the latest shipment list was laid out. Guns. Ammunition. Modified tech. All packaged under fake export codes and tucked into crates labeled as medical supplies.

This wasn’t new. It’s how it always worked.

“Two crates short,” Marco said, pointing at the list. “One’s marked as rerouted. The other’s missing.”

Missing. That word again.

I kept my arms crossed, studying the columns. “When did they go off-grid?”

“Somewhere between loading in and arrival. We tracked GPS until checkpoint twelve.”

“Who signed off?”

“D’Angelo’s guy. Matteo confirmed it this morning.”

I nodded once. “Pull the checkpoint logs. Every face. Every ID. I want them cross-checked by the hour.”

He nodded and stepped back.

The Castellanis were getting bold. First, they let our product pass through their territory without protest. Now, parts were going missing. This wasn’t random.

  • The Mafia's Silent Keeper   Thirty One

    Luca:As we boarded the jet back to New York, Cassie didn’t say much to me.She practically said nothing to me at all.She politely gave warm smiles to the flight crew and took the window seat, curling into herself as she stared out into the clouds.I sat beside her, but the space between us felt wider than anything else.For the first hour of the flight, we didn’t speak at all.I kept glancing her way, hoping she’d look at me, say something, anythingBut all I got was silence and the reflection of my own guilt mirrored in the glass beside her face.At one point, I pulled the blanket from behind us and offered it to her.“Thanks,” she said softly, taking it from my hand.There was warmth in her voice, and she looked completely exhausted.I hated that Cassie was giving me the silent treatmentAnd I knew I was to blame for everything.I wanted her to scream, fight, and tell me I was wrongCassie made it very clear she didn’t want to talk about what happened between us the other nightAl

    Cassie:“Wait, stay with me tonight,”I said, holding Luca's hand before he stood up to leave the room.There was a different intensity in his touch tonight.To me, it felt like it held more than just lust, even though it didn't lack desire.His kiss had passion, charged with possession. It was a deep connection that claimed every piece of myself.He kissed me like I’ve never been kissed before.It was so much more than our lips touching.What I didn’t understand was why he let go.Luca pulled back first.He looked at me for a long second, his fingers still brushing my cheek.Then he whispered, “You need to sleep.”I nodded, even though my pulse was still racing.He helped me lie back gently on the bed, then stood up and walked out of the room.A few seconds later, he came back holding a soft black shirt that was obviously his.He didn’t say anything to me. He just dropped the shirt beside me and turned around to give me privacy.I stared at the shirt for a moment.Then I peeled off t

    Luca:“Wow… it was like I didn’t even exist. You might as well get a room for tonight.” Cassie’s words hit me as soon as Silvie walked away.“It’s not like that with us,” I said, trying to stay calm. “Silvie’s just excited for tips. I used to be a regular here.”But I could already see the disbelief in her eyes.“It clearly looked like she wanted you under her pants,” she snapped, that fake smile stretching across her face as she lifted the glass and gulped what was left of the wine.I reached out slightly. “I think you should slow down on the drinking Cassie.”“Don’t tell me what to do!” she cut me off sharply.She reached for the wine bottle again, pouring every last drop into her glass and downing it all in one go. Her cheeks were already flushed from the alcohol , and I could see her getting tipsy.And then her voice changed.“Even on our wedding day, Luca…” she said, softer this time, more broken than angry, “you let that blonde bitch walk up to you and touch you in all the wrong

    Cassie:Luca and I arrived in Italy.The moment I stepped into the villa, I forgot how to breathe.I’d only seen places like this in movies…..polished marble floors, wide glass windows overlooking a lake so clear it looked fake, soft white curtains blowing with the breeze. It was breathtakingly beautifulLuca hadn’t said a word since we landed. He just held my hand lightly and guided me through the stone courtyard, past the iron gates, and up to the front steps“This is… wow,” I said, turning slowly in the entryway. “You rented this entire place?”“No,” he said, loosening the cuffs of his shirt. “It belonged to my late father.”“Oh, like a vacation home for your family?” I asked“Yes. We spent some summers here. I have a lot of childhood memories too,” he replied, glancing around with a nostalgic look in his eyesA man in a chef’s apron appeared, speaking softly in Italian. Luca answered fluently, then turned to me“Dinner will be ready at seven. We’ll eat on the terrace.”I looked ar

    Luca:I got back upstairs after making sure Matteo took care of the body dumped on my property.Maybe this was Renzo giving me a sign that he was going to hit me where it hurt the most, when I least expected it. I needed to remind him again. I had to stay ten steps ahead. He needed to be put in his place once and for all.But first ..... Cassie.I didn’t like the idea of my staff spreading rumors about today’s incident. I didn’t like it one bit. So I texted Matteo quickly.Me: Make sure all the staff sign a non-disclosure agreement today. No one is to speak of what happened or what they saw. Especially not to Cassie.Matteo: Yes, Boss!I felt a little peace after that. Now, I believed it was time for Cassie and I to go on our honeymoon especially now that eyes were watching us.I stopped by my office briefly before heading to my bedroom door and spotting Elias guarding it like his life depended on it.He was quiet and proper, as always, and gave me a small bow before walking away.C

  • The Mafia's Silent Keeper   Twenty Six

    Renzo:I sat in the far corner of my port warehouse, the salt from the bay mixing with diesel fumes and the wet stink of crates that’d been dragged halfway across the ocean. The air was cold, but sweat stuck under my collar. The lights overhead flickered once, but I didn’t move.I didn’t say a word when they dragged Gianni in. One man on each side, his shoes scraping the concrete. His knees were bloody from where they’d dragged him from his cell to me. He looked like shit — shirt torn, hair stuck to his forehead with sweat and blood.He couldn’t look up. He wouldn’t dare.I tapped ash from my cigarette into an empty tray on my side stool. I wasn’t doing whiskey tonight.They dropped him in front of me. He hit the floor hard, palms slapping concrete as he tried to stay on his knees.“Boss—” he croaked, voice raw. “Boss, I swear—”I stood up from my chair and put the hand that didn’t have the cigarette in my pocket.“You had one job. You made me look weak.”He flinched. His eyes jumped
