Semua Bab Bound To The Mafia Don: Bab 81 - Bab 90

FLORAThe private jet moved through the clouds as we headed back to Miami. Dante hadn't spoken much since we boarded the plane. His attention was still fixed on the pictures that Salvatore had given us. I really couldn't blame him though, because finding out that your dead uncle might be alive and conspiring with your sister would silence anyone.Salvatore was sitting in front of us. He had cleaned up now and was now back in his usual attire. The transformation from a homeless man to his normal self was quite remarkable. Just before we had boarded the plane, he had insisted on accompanying us. He claimed he had more information that couldn't be shared over the phone."It's not possible," Salvatore finally said, breaking the tense silence. "That man can't be Carlo Romano."Dante looked up sharply. "It's his face, Salvatore. Don’t you think I would know my own uncle?""I understand what you're seeing," Salvatore replied carefully. "But I'm telling you that Carlo Romano is dead. I confir

FLORAThe first bullets tore through the walls like they were made of paper. I fell onto the floor as the already weak plaster exploded around us, scattering dust and debris everywhere."Move!" Dante shouted right before he grabbed my arm and pulled me behind an overturned table. Salvatore was already firing through a broken window with his expression focused on the task at hand.Sofia and Carlo had taken cover behind a massive stone fireplace. The man who claimed to be Carlo Romano had his gun out, and he was currently firing shots toward Lorenzo's men outside."We need to get to higher ground!" Salvatore called over the sound of gunfire. "They're surrounding the building!"Dante nodded and gestured toward a doorway on the far side of the room. "We’re going to take those stairs and go through the back corridor!"I followed his lead, staying low as we moved carefully from one item to the next for cover. A bullet suddenly shattered the wooden frame a few inches from my head, and I felt

FLORAMy heart pounded in my chest as we heard Sofia’s voice echo from somewhere behind us. "Lorenzo! It's Sofia. I want to make a deal!""Lorenzo!" Sofia called out again. It was louder now. "I have information you need!"Through the passage, we could hear Lorenzo's cold laughter. "Well, well, well… The little traitor wants to negotiate.""I was never loyal to Dante," Sofia said to him. We could hear her voice perfectly in the enclosed space. "I've been working for Antonio this whole time. But things have changed. I want to make a new arrangement."Chills ran down my spine instantly. Was she telling the truth? Had Sofia been playing us all along?Dante's grip on my arm got tighter, but when I looked at his face, I saw understanding there, not betrayal. It was clear he knew something that I didn't."How interesting," Lorenzo drawled. "And what exactly are you offering?""Information about their escape route. Their next moves. Everything you want to know."There was a long pause before

FLORAGunfire burst out from every direction as FBI agents swung into the factory through the broken windows. Antonio's men, who had been hidden throughout the place, opened fire immediately. The sound was deafening as it echoed around the building while the shells bounced off the metal walls and spoilt machines."Flora, get down!" Dante yelled. He quickly pushed me to the concrete floor as the sound of shots kept echoing.Through the chaos, I saw Antonio grab Sofia from Lorenzo’s grip, then he started to drag her toward a staircase at the far end of the walkway. But then someone grabbed me from behind."There’s been a change of plans, sweetheart," Lorenzo whispered in my ear. He pressed his gun against my ribs as he pulled me to my feet. "You're coming with me.""Let her go!" Dante called out. He turned around and started heading our way, but one of Antonio's men blocked his path by spraying it with multiple shots.Lorenzo started to drag me through the chaos all around us. We passed

DANTEI turned around immediately to see Antonio coming from the other side of the wreckage. His clothes were torn and burnt, half of his hair had been burnt off, and there were lots of cuts on his face. But he was alive, and he was holding a gun."You’ve always shown how resourceful you are," I said, pushing Flora behind me."I didn't survive all these many years in this business by being soft." Antonio wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. "Unlike you."The flames were spreading, and I could feel the heat getting more intense. Parts of the rooftop were already starting to give away because of the damage from the fire."It's over, Dad. The FBI has the building surrounded. Your men are either dead or captured. Even if you kill us, you're not walking away from this.""Maybe not. But I'll have the satisfaction of knowing I didn't raise a complete failure." Antonio raised the gun. "You could have been great, Dante. You could have ruled everything I built.""I didn't w
