Breaking the news

Matteo arrived at my penthouse hours later, and I still didn’t know what to tell him about what happened to his father. I had spent the whole time cooped up in there while Nero made furious calls and forced me to eat something.Every single time I told him no, he shot me a glare. I didn’t care that he glared at me. My uncle, whom I hated, was dead, and I didn’t know how to deal with something like that.Dominic was the one who tracked him down and asked him a couple of questions before he brought him to me. According to him, his father wasn’t supposed to meet anyone else but me. But he wouldn’t know if his father met someone else because he left to go and work as a waiter.He was still in his uniform, he had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked older than he was. He was worse than the last time I saw him. Guilt started to claw at me. I should have tried to help him, but I didn’t.I let him suffer along with his father when he didn’t deserve it. He had been good to me, and his on

Owe you nothing

The funeral went by in a blur. One moment, the priest was doing the ceremony, and the next, they were lowering the casket into the ground. There weren’t a lot of people at the funeral. My uncle was not in good graces with the elites in New York.He had underestimated the power the DeLuca family had in New York and overestimated the power Viktor and his father had. When Nero told people not to work with him, his word was considered law.None of them was brave enough to come and pay their respects. You could count the number of people who were there. Even Nero didn’t attend the ceremony. He lingered in the corner, making sure there were no threats to look out for.Luca had luckily flown in to attend the ceremony, and I had a feeling it had more to do with supporting Matteo than it did with making sure Lorenzo was buried properly. It was no surprise that he hated the man.Matteo wouldn’t even look at us. He kept glaring at the ground like it had wronged him. I didn’t want to imagine what

The trial (1)

It was finally the day of the trial, and I was kind of nervous. I knew it wouldn’t end in just one day, but it didn’t stop me from being scared of the outcome.I obviously didn’t want to go to prison, and I also trusted Claire, but there was an aura of uncertainty that I would have done anything to get rid of. That part of my mind that always whispered insecurities and bad things was in full throttle.It told me that I would go to jail because I stabbed a man, and it was what I deserved. For a moment, I started to believe it, but then I remembered the man I had stabbed deserved it.I couldn’t say I did it for all the women that he had hurt before, and the ones he had brutalized so badly that they would never forget his face. I knew what it felt like to be hurt by him and still do nothing about it because your hands were tied.But I would have liked to believe that I avenged those women even a little. I didn’t regret stabbing him, especially after what he did to my best friend. If Domi

The trial (2)

The day for the official hearing had finally arrived. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating and I could barely relax. All the jury members were in their rightful places, and so was the judge. As usual, there were a million cameras and lots of reporters waiting to witness my downfall.This time, I chose a light pink suit and light makeup to seem a little more friendly. I tried my best to look nervous and harmless because it would help garner sympathy for me. I wasn’t sure any of those people would sympathise with the fiancée of a billionaire, but I had to believe that they would.I wore cheap jewelry and even charms made of simple materials to seem friendlier. It was manipulative, but it was the only way I knew how to make sure people were on my side. The prosecutor stood and glanced at Claire and me. I already hated him because I knew he was probably working with Viktor. Men like him disgusted me. Viktor was the one who was supposed to be on trial, not me. Nero told me he look

Turning things around

The next day, I expected Claire to work her magic, and I was confident that she would. After Nero heard me say that I didn’t want to have any expectations just in case everything went wrong, he reassured me and told me that Claire was the best and he wouldn’t have given her my case if he knew she couldn’t handle it.But that wasn’t even what was on my mind. I was worried that Nero was hiding something from me, and I didn’t know if I could accept that after the incident that happened with his mother.We had agreed that there were no more secrets between us, and yet, I felt like there was something he wasn’t telling me.After the mysterious call he got the previous day, he seemed quiet, reserved, and like a lot was on his mind. He even got rid of the phone he was using and got a new one.It seemed like he was hiding something from me, and he was hiding from someone. Whoever that mysterious caller was, they had something to do with his mood.Even as we drove to the courthouse, he was abs

We won

The case was dismissed because of a lack of sufficient evidence almost immediately. There was nothing Mark could do when the video evidence was dismissed. He had no choice but to relent and agree to the verdict.I couldn’t stop smiling when this happened. The ruling would not only change the public perception of me but also mean I wouldn’t end up in jail and could continue pursuing my dream of becoming a fashion designer.I would launch my brand as soon as possible. Nothing would stop me. I rushed to embrace Nero when the verdict came in. I was in tears, and Lily rushed to us. She was also very happy for me, and I was glad for her support.Viktor was nowhere to be found. He had disappeared after the judge allowed the jury to leave so Claire could question Officer White. I wasn’t surprised that he left because he was a coward, and everyone knew it for a fact.“I knew this would happen,” Lily said.“Claire, thank you,” I said as I hugged her as well. I would have never gotten off it wer

Sovereign Justice

“Yesterday, after we came from court, I received a call from someone. The same person was trying to text me throughout the period of the trial, and I never answered their texts. I don’t look at messages from unknown numbers. They must have been upset over it because they finally called when we got home.”He had a serious expression on his face, and he was also worried. He tried to hide it, but I could tell. He was going around in circles and not really telling me what the problem was.“Then what happened?” I asked.“The call only lasted ten seconds, and it was a mechanical voice telling me to look at the texts they sent, or they were going to destroy my life in just a few seconds. I tried to ignore it, but I finally looked at the texts.”Nero closed his eyes and turned away from me. It had me wondering what in those texts was so bad that he didn’t want to talk about. Surely it wouldn’t be that bad, would it? Judging by how he was acting, it could actually be that bad.“What were the t

Gameplay

Nico and Tally flew in after they heard the threats against Nero. It wasn’t just about Nero’s reputation or whether or not he would go to jail. It was about the entire DeLuca dynasty. Enzo was stuck in Switzerland, but he was also on his way.It was a whole family affair. Tally and Nico looked closer than they had been before they left, and they acted like a real couple. As far as I knew, their wedding was coming up, and it would be held in Italy.I hoped they would be able to tolerate one another in the long term.“Who the fuck are these people?” Nico asked. “I’ve never heard of them before.”“They are not a name you’ll see unless they come for you. No one wants to say a bunch of nerds is forcing them to give up wealth, power, and leverage. That’s why they’re still standing. People are also afraid their secrets will be spilled when they speak about their experience with this group.”I thought the DeLuca family and other powerful mafia families ran the world, but it seemed there were

Something

Luca tried as much as possible to try and track down who the person in Nero’s organization was that had given that video to that vigilante group that was threatening the DeLuca empire, which had been around for generations.However, his efforts were fruitless. At first, Nico and Nero suspected Marco Conti, Nico’s current consigliere. I’d met him before when we were in Italy. I remembered Nero telling me he didn’t trust him and that he didn’t think Marco was qualified to be Nico’s advisor.Greta Conti was his sister, and Nero had rejected her several times. Apparently, there was no DeLuca brother she hadn’t tried to sleep with, including the late Adrian and Enzo. She had, however, slept with Nico when he couldn’t keep it in his pants.She and her brother probably had beef with Nero because of his refusal to accept Marco’s expertise and the many times he had rejected Greta. I remembered how everyone thought Greta and Nero were endgame.It was probably because she had told everyone Nero

With my fucking life

Enzo looked around the room and signaled something to Nico, who nodded once and looked right at Dominic.“Take your girl to freshen up. The grown-ups need to talk.” He said casually.I was about to argue, but Nero shook his head at me. At the end of the day, Nico was our leader, and we had to follow his footsteps. He was older, wiser, and he had all our best interests at heart.Lily looked offended, and I reached over and squeezed her hand to reassure her that she still meant the world to me. She stormed off looking as angry as ever. As soon as she was gone, I turned to Nico.“What the fuck?!” I asked him.“Listen to me, princess. You know I adore you, but I don’t know Lily, and I think we have told her enough. I don’t know her, and I refuse to trust someone I wouldn’t trust my life with. I would trust my life with you and every one of you, but I wouldn’t do the same with your best friend.”He made sure to glance at Tally to make sure she knew he trusted her with his life, even though
