Three Years in a Coma and the Don Fell for My Stand-In Chapter 11
It was the middle of the night by the time Lucas got back to the Moretti estate.The capos were all waiting outside the council room. He didn't have much time left.He sat inside, alone.On the table in front of him were a gun and the Don's ring, the symbol of ultimate power.Lucas closed his hand around the ring and remembered the accident from three years earlier.Amid the screech of metal, Cecilia had thrown herself over him and shielded him with her whole body.Blood ran down from her forehead and dripped onto Lucas's face, one drop at a time.He held her and kept saying her name, begging her not to close her eyes.Cecilia was in too much pain to speak, but she still fought to put her hand on his chest.Only when she was sure he wasn't hurt did she smile."Thank God... you're okay."And then she collapsed in his arms.He owed his life to Cecilia.In that moment, Lucas made his decision.He was about to go out and face the capos when Bianca walked in carrying Matteo."You actually h

Day one.Lucas found out that a shipment of gold was about to go out through the West Port.He took his men and stopped the convoy himself.Dozens of bodyguards surrounded the trucks. Lucas walked up and shot the lock off one of the containers.The doors swung slowly open.There was no gold inside. Just a truckload of rocks.Everything went quiet.That was when Lucas's phone rang.A number he didn't recognize flashed on the screen. He answered with his jaw set, and Cecilia's voice came through the line. "Don, you have two days left."Lucas went still.After the council put him on trial, he'd kept the whole thing under wraps."Lucas, you don't think I'm the only traitor in the Moretti family, do you?"And she hung up.Lucas looked at the truckload of rocks, his face like thunder.Day one, he came away with nothing.On day two, Lucas's men finally spotted the ship carrying the gold, out on the water.After a 30-minute chase, his speedboats cut off the ship's path.One hit to the engine r

By the time Bianca got back to the estate, the tears were gone from her face.Her maid was waiting at the end of the long hallway, and when she saw the blood at Bianca's temple, she hurried to meet her."Ms. Conti, you made it out safely. Do you still want those things sent?"Bianca stopped."You? Be her?" Lucas's words kept ringing in her ears.If Lucas would rather lose everything than stop protecting Cecilia, then she would corner him herself and leave him no way out."Send them."The maid hesitated. "But the Don already let you go."Bianca wiped the blood from her temple, and her eyes went hard with hate."I want every photo and every record delivered to the council.""Every last one.""I want to see who he picks. Cecilia, or the Don's seat."Early the next morning, Lucas had barely walked into the council room when more than ten guns swung toward him at once.Capos filled both sides of the long table.Vito, the most senior of the capos, threw a stack of photos down on the table.E

In that moment, Lucas finally understood. Throughout her three-year coma, Cecilia had remained fully conscious.He wanted to ask more, but Cecilia shoved him away."Lucas, in the beginning I actually hoped you'd find someone new to get you through the rest of your long life.""But I was naive. Oh, no, that's not it. I gave you too much credit. I never imagined you'd carve up my family and destroy my right-hand man for a woman."And with that, Cecilia turned and went back into the auction.When she came back without a scratch on her, the Moretti capos' faces changed.Cecilia's laugh was ice. "Disappointed I'm not dead?""Too bad. You could put the gun in Lucas's hand yourselves, and he still wouldn't fire one shot at me."And she took Aldo's arm and left.The capos understood exactly what she meant. They went straight to Lucas to demand answers.But Lucas was already gone.Down at the docks, a car screeched to a stop, and Lucas threw Bianca out of it.Bianca fell to the ground, curled u

Third-person POV:Meanwhile, the Cossa estate was in an uproar.Trucks rolled into the courtyard one after another, and men kept hauling cases of cash, gold bars, jewelry, and luxury watches into the great hall.The cargo ships they'd just seized filled the docks, and nobody had even started counting the fine wine, antiques, and everything else in the holds.By a rough guess, it was already worth over a hundred million dollars.Somebody cracked open a safe right there, and it was full of diamonds and uncut stones.The whole room erupted in cheers."The Moretti family really was loaded!"Cecilia didn't care about any of it. She gave it a passing glance and went straight down to the cells.Before she even reached his cell, she could hear Salvatore screaming himself hoarse. "Cecilia, have you lost your mind?! Don't you know betraying the Moretti family is a death sentence?!"Cecilia gave a scornful laugh. "Of course I know.""Then why did you do it?!" Salvatore was shaking all over. "You

Third-person POV:Lucas's face changed, but the guard wasn't finished."Somebody broke into the underground vault under the East Side casino too.""Over 400 pounds of gold bars, and all the cash we collected in the last two weeks. Cleaned out. They didn't leave a single bar!"He held out a piece of the bomb. Half an emblem was left on it.But you could still make out a black snake coiled around the edge."The Cossa family!" one of the capos shouted. "They've got the nerve to hit us today of all days!""That's not the point," another capo said, frowning hard. "The North Port is one thing. But the underground vault is hidden. How did they even know about it?!"The second he said it, every face in the room turned grim, including Lucas's.Suddenly he remembered what the note said, and he pulled it out again.He stared hard at the note as if he could see Cecilia through it. Then it hit him.Bianca noticed something was wrong. "What is it?"Lucas pulled himself together and announced a counc
