Empire SecuredLivia stood on the observation deck of the newly rebranded Moretti Logistics HQ, a steaming espresso in hand, her auburn hair catching the light. Below, workers moved crates with steady rhythm—no whispers, no fear. Just business. Clean. Legitimate.Alessandro joined her, his suit crisp, the faint scar on his jaw shadowed by morning stubble. He handed her a manila folder. “Final transfer complete. All assets moved under Il Giardino Holdings.”She opened it. Bank statements. Property deeds. Corporate restructures—all scrubbed clean, fully compliant, legally airtight. The €4.3 million from Russo’s villa now flowed through restaurants, shipping manifests, boutique imports. No trace of blood. No whisper of fire.“We’re untouchable,” he said, voice low.Livia traced the embossed letterhead of the top document: Il Giardino Holdings – CEO: Livia Rossi.She smiled. “Not untouchable.
