Massimo’s POV. I felt utterly confused and frustrated. Just then, my phone rang. I checked and saw it was my sister, Vanessa. I couldn’t quite understand the meaning of such calls at that hour, even when she was closer to me at home. I picked it up immediately. “Massi, what’s good?” She said, Her voice is teasy and shallow. “Vanesa, what’s the problem?” I inquired, trying to understand her tone. I knew she was definitely up to something, but I couldn’t point my fingers at it. “Ouch, maybe I’ll just have to spill it out then. I think I’ll be joining Tracey and her sisters for the upcoming picnic to Spain,” "Vanessa, I don't think that's a good idea. You're still involved in our current mission, and I need you to stay focused," I said."Massimo, I need a break. I've been working non-stop for months, and I deserve some time off. Why are you always restricting me? It's like you don't trust me at all,"I sighed, feeling a headache coming on. "Vanessa, it's not about trust. It's about

Massimo’s POV. I turned around, and my eyes widened in shock. Rome had taken the shot, hitting Vladimir right between the eyes. I couldn't believe it. Vladimir, the guy who seemed so calm and collected, was now lying lifeless on the ground. I felt a mix of emotions - shock, relief, and a bit of guilt. Why hadn't I seen it coming?Rome entered the room, his face twisted in anger. "I told you, Massimo," he said, his voice firm. "I told you it wasn't safe to be alone with him." I looked at Rome, feeling a pang of regret. I should have listened to him.Rome's anger was directed at me, and I didn't blame him. I should have been more careful. "Rome, I'm sorry," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Rome's expression softened slightly, and he looked at me with a mix of concern and frustration.As we stood there, staring at Vladimir's corpse, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. Vladimir was a threat, and Rome had taken him out. But still, I couldn't help but feel a bit shaken. Rome no

Massimo’s POV. I sat in the vehicle, sipping on a glass of whisky and smoking a cigarette. Rome drove, his eyes fixed on the road. We were headed to meet one of my close associates, someone who could help us uncover more about the bomb in our secret drug barn.As we drove, I turned to Rome "Do you think this bomb was a warning?" I asked, my voice low. Rome's expression was thoughtful. "It's possible," he said. "But we need to be careful. We don't know who's behind this."Just then, my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and saw a text from Isabel. "The bomb might be linked to the Governor. Rosalia has some connection to him." My expression changed, and Rome noticed."What's wrong?" he asked, his eyes narrowing. I took a deep breath before responding. "It's Isabel," I said, showing him the text. Rome's eyes scanned the message, his face grim."I always knew Rosalia had something going on that we don't know about," Rome said, his voice low. I nodded, feeling a sense of unease. Rosa

Massimo’s POVI stood on the balcony, looking out at the night sky. Marco joined me, and I turned to him with a serious expression. "Tonight, we're going on a private mission, Marco," I said, my voice low.Marco's eyes widened in surprise. "Tonight? What's the mission about, Massimo?" he asked, his voice laced with curiosity. I raised an eyebrow, my expression firm. "Never question my authority again, Marco. You'll know what you need to know when you need to know it."Marco nodded, understanding the tone. "Yes, Massimo. I'll get ready." I nodded, my gaze drifting away from Marco to the figure of Martha walking across the courtyard. She was carrying a string of beads, her movements graceful.As I admired Martha, my phone rang, breaking the silence. I answered, and Nikolai Volkova's voice came through the line. “Boss, are you ready to move?" he asked, his voice crisp.I glanced at my watch, calculating the time. "I'll be with you in less than an hour, Nik," I replied, my voice confid

Ana’s POV. I sat in my room, packing my bags to leave the Cosa Nostra. The weight of my decision settled heavily on my shoulders as I thought about the uncertainty that lay ahead. How would I escape New York? What dangers would I face outside these walls? The questions swirled in my mind, but I knew I had to act. I couldn't stay here any longer, not after what I had discovered about Massimo and my brother, Nikolai.As I folded my clothes and placed them in my suitcase, my thoughts drifted to Nikolai. I needed to talk to him, to understand what was going on. I picked up my phone and dialed his number, my heart racing with anticipation.When he answered, I didn't waste any time. "You're a disappointment, Nikolai," I said, my voice firm. There was a pause on the other end of the line, and I could almost hear the surprise in his silence."Ana, what's going on?" he asked, his voice cautious. I tried to make sense of his tone, to understand what he was thinking. But before I could respond,
