The Revenge of Don’s Secret Heiress Chapter 10
Six months later.The Ferrante family's seaside villa, just outside Naples. Strung with lights. Wall to wall with luxury cars.It was the loudest wedding Naples had seen in years.The groom: only son of Director Conti, head of the Anti-Organized Crime Division in Rome. Recently decorated for service. Inspector Marco Conti.The bride: only daughter of Don Enzo Ferrante of Naples and the iron-willed Donna Carmela. Their pearl.Everyone who mattered — police, government, business — was there. The whole top of the country.I walked down the rose-strewn aisle on my father's arm, in a dress made for me.At the end of it, Marco. Dark blue dress uniform. Decorations on his chest. Standing the way he always stood — straight as a line.He watched me come down the aisle. Eyes only on me.My father put my hand in his. His own eyes looked a little wet. The voice still came out hard."Boy. I'm giving you Enzo Ferrante's daughter. If you ever treat her badly, I don't care if you're an inspector — I'l

Naples. San Paolo Hospital. Private wing.The smell of antiseptic. The steady beep of the monitor.Marco had been under for three days. Three days I hadn't left the side of the bed. My eyes had gone red from it.My parents came every day and brought every kind of expensive thing they could find. Even Director Antonio Conti himself came, leaning on his cane.The old man wept when he saw me. He kept holding my hand and saying the Conti family had wronged me, that they'd put me through too much.The TV was running the evening news, the anchor's even voice filling the small room."In recent days, authorities along the Bay of Naples have broken up a major transnational arms-smuggling case. The smuggling ring led by Bruno Sacco has been dismantled at every level. The mayor of Porto Scuro, Don Salvo, is removed from office and remanded to a special tribunal on charges of providing protection to organized crime, severe corruption, and obstruction of national security operations.""Bruno Sacco,

The inspector pulled a file out of his case. The cover was stamped with the seal of the highest classification.He looked around. His voice carried."Marco Conti. Italian National Police, Anti-Organized Crime Division. Senior undercover officer, rank of Inspector. Three years ago, in pursuit of a transnational arms-smuggling operation crossing the Mediterranean, he was assigned undercover, identity sealed, embedded in Porto Scuro, tasked with gathering core evidence on the syndicate.""The smuggling network has now been comprehensively dismantled. Inspector Conti's mission is complete and successful. Per the order of the Director, Anti-Organized Crime Division, his rank and identity are reinstated effective immediately. He is to report to Rome HQ."The townspeople went the color of dead fish. Mouths open. Nothing coming out.The man they'd kicked around all year, the broken-down vet, was a senior undercover officer. He'd gone to hell and back for this country.Don Salvo's eyes rolled b

Greco was running cold sweat. He nodded into the phone, bent at the waist."Minister, I was wrong. I didn't know it was Mr. Ferrante. I'll pull back, right now, please give me a chance—"The minister's voice on the other end was ice."You won't be pulling back. Anti-Corruption is on the road as we speak. The things you've done are enough to keep you behind bars for the rest of your life. You can spend your retirement reflecting in there."Click. Dead air.Greco's face went the color of ash. His sidearm fell out of his hand and clanged on the stones. Whatever was holding him together gave out.The officers he'd brought in looked at each other. They quietly holstered their weapons. None of them was about to make a move. If a deputy commissioner had just gone down, what were street cops going to do?Bruno had given up. He'd folded onto the ground and was muttering, "It's over, it's over."I watched it. I should have felt some kind of satisfaction. I didn't. The only thing in my head was M

Giulia held the crowbar in both hands. They were shaking. Her face was bloodless.Luca's eyes went wide. He was scrambling backward."Giulia, I'm your husband. You can't do this. I'll never lay a hand on you again, I swear. I'll treat you like a queen — please."The fear in Giulia's eyes turned over. Underneath it was years of hate. Her eyes went red."Husband. When you beat me until I lost the baby. When you made me wash all the family laundry in cold water in the dead of winter. Were we husband and wife then? When your mother forced those filthy folk remedies down my throat and told me to die if I couldn't give you a son — were we husband and wife then? You're not human. You're a thing in a man's skin."Giulia raised the crowbar over her head and brought it down on his.Thump.Blood ran down Luca's forehead and into his eyes.That blow cracked something open in her. She wasn't the nodding little wife of the village anymore.She came undone. She swung again, and again, sobbing as she

My father, Enzo Ferrante, in that black cashmere overcoat of his, a Cuban cigar clamped between his teeth, every hair in place. He stood there and the weight of him hit you — the Don of Naples, no act, no posing, just the real thing distilled out of decades of blood and fire.Don Salvo stared. His lips trembled, just a little. He'd worked the docks half his life and met every kind of man who walks in our world, but the one in front of him was different. The men he knew — when they walked into a room, they checked where the exits were. The man in front of him walked into a room, and everyone else in the room started thinking about how to get out.Behind him came my mother, Carmela — the Donna of the Ferrante family — in heels and a wine-red coat. Lipstick on. Eyes like winter."Dad. Mom—"I'd been holding it together all afternoon. Now it broke. The stiletto fell out of my hand and rang on the stones.When my father took in the blood and the torn dress, the hand holding the cigar shook.
