One Hundred And Ninety One

Don Lorenzo Valenti looked toward the entrance quietly, as he thought deeply on what Luca's plan could be.For a few seconds, none of them said anything.Don Rossi watched him carefully.Don Lorenzo's mind was racing.Luca was using Isabella as a shield.He wanted Don Lorenzo angry.He wanted him emotional.He wanted him to make a mistake.But Don Lorenzo Valenti had survived too many wars to allow rage to dictate his actions.Still, Isabella was outside.And every second she remained beside Luca increased the danger.Don Lorenzo slowly reached for his weapon.Don Rossi spoke."Lorenzo."Don Lorenzo stopped."You can't let him provoke you."Don Lorenzo looked at him."Suddenly, Silivio Rossi is on my side."Don Rossi sighed."You saved my daughter, I owe you my life.""It's yours for the taking."Don Lorenzo nodded.His eyes returned to the doors.He could almost imagine Isabella standing outside.Frightened.Confused.Wondering why he hadn't come to her yet.Don Lorenzo's chest tight

Isabella could barely breathe.Luca's gun remained pressed against the side of her neck as she stared across the distance at Don Lorenzo.For the first time since she had escaped the safe house, she was finally looking at the man she had risked everything to find.Don Lorenzo Valenti.He was alive.He was standing only a few feet away from her.But the relief she had expected never came, because her coming here had created the nightmare she was trying to avert.So instead, guilt consumed her."I'm sorry."The words escaped her trembling lips.Don Lorenzo's expression softened immediately."Isabella...""I'm sorry," she repeated, tears filling her eyes. "Please forgive me."Don Lorenzo took a small step forward.Luca immediately tightened his grip on her."Don't."Don Lorenzo stopped.His eyes remained fixed on Isabella."Why did you leave the safe house?"Isabella lowered her gaze.She couldn't tell him.Not here.Not with Luca standing behind her with a gun pressed against her neck.

One Hundred And Ninety Three

Don Lorenzo Valenti stared at Luca with barely contained fury.Every muscle in his body was tense.He wanted nothing more than to put a bullet between Luca's eyes.But he couldn't.Not while Luca's gun remained pressed against Aurelia.One wrong move...One careless decision...And Luca could pull the trigger.Don Lorenzo couldn't take that risk.Not with Isabella.Not now.He slowly turned his head toward two of his guards."Bring Rossi out."The guards exchanged a brief glance before nodding."Yes, Don."They hurried back through the gates.Luca watched them disappear.His expression carried a smug confidence.Despite losing the battle last night, Don Lorenzo wasn't the one giving orders.He was.And he loved every second of it.Don Lorenzo looked back at him."Luca.""What?""Let Isabella go."Luca laughed."You've said that already, but that's not happening.""I'm offering you a way out."Luca raised an eyebrow.Don Lorenzo continued."Release Isabella.""And I'll let you leave."

Luca's smile widened as he looked at Don Lorenzo.He could see the fury burning behind the Don's eyes.But beneath that fury, there was something else.Fear.Not fear for himself.Fear for Isabella.And Luca knew it.That was exactly what made him feel powerful again.He tightened his arm around Isabella, keeping the gun pressed against her."Here's what is going to happen."Don Lorenzo's eyes narrowed."I'm listening."Luca glanced at Don Rossi, then back at Don Lorenzo."You are going to call a meeting."Don Lorenzo's expression remained cold."A meeting with who?""With all the Mafia Dons in this city."A brief silence followed.Luca continued."They're going to hear you announce that you're stepping down."Don Lorenzo stared at him."And who exactly takes my place?"Luca smiled."Me."Isabella's heart sank.Don Lorenzo didn't even blink."You?""Yes."Luca's confidence was almost insulting."You will stand before them and announce that you are giving up the Valenti empire."Then h

Luca's eyes burned with fury.For several seconds, he simply stared at Don Rossi.He couldn't believe what had just happened.After everything they had planned.After everything they had sacrificed.After entering the Rossi estate together...Don Rossi had betrayed him.Well, that wasn't totally a surprise to him.The Rossis are known to be betrayers.Never to be trusted.This was clearly on him."You..."Luca's voice trembled with rage."You betrayed me."Don Rossi stood his ground.His chest rose and fell heavily."Our deal was over when you shot my daughter."Luca's hand suddenly moved toward his gun.Don Rossi's eyes widened."Luca—"BANG!The gunshot exploded across the courtyard.Don Rossi jerked backward.A look of disbelief crossed his face.Then his hand flew to his abdomen.Blood immediately began spreading across his shirt."Ah..."His knees buckled.He collapsed heavily onto the ground."Oh my god!"Isabella screamed.Don Lorenzo's expression changed instantly."Isabella!"

Inside the estate, the physician worked frantically on Don Rossi.His hands moved quickly as he examined the wound in Don Rossi's abdomen, trying everything within his power to stop the bleeding."More gauze!"One of the assistants immediately handed it to him.The physician pressed it firmly against the wound.But the blood kept coming.Don Rossi's breathing had become shallow.His face was frighteningly pale.His body had already lost too much blood."Come on..." the physician muttered."Stay with me."He tried to stabilize him, but even he knew the situation was becoming hopeless.Don Lorenzo stood on the other side of the room, watching silently.His arms were folded across his chest, but his eyes never left the physician.Don Rossi's eyes slowly opened.He turned his head, and his gaze found Lorenzo.For several seconds, the two men simply looked at each other.There was no anger in Don Rossi's eyes anymore.No pride.No resentment.Only exhaustion.And regret."Lorenzo..."His v

Alessandro slowly opened the door to Valeria's room.He stepped inside.For a moment, he simply stood there.Valeria was lying on the bed, her injured shoulder carefully bandaged. Her face was pale, but her eyes were open.She turned toward the sound of the door.The moment she saw him, her eyes widened."Alessandro?"He stopped.Valeria stared at him in disbelief."How...?"She tried to sit up."Alessandro, how did you get here?"Alessandro immediately moved toward her."Don't get up."He gently placed a hand against her uninjured shoulder."You've been shot."Valeria stared at him."How come you are here?"A small smile appeared on Alessandro's face."What happened?"She probed."A lot."He pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat beside her."But none of that matters right now."His eyes moved over her face."I'm just happy you're alive."Valeria swallowed."You thought I was dead?""I was told you were dead.""Luca lied to me."Valeria stared at him."He told me that, to manipulat

One Hundred And Ninety Eight

Don Lorenzo Valenti stood in the study, staring through the large windows at the courtyard.The morning sun had climbed higher into the sky, but there was nothing peaceful about the morning.Too many people had died.Too many alliances had been broken.And too many secrets had been exposed.Then he remembered what Isabella had told him.Lorenzo still had not fully processed everything.A child.His child.Isabella was carrying his child.After everything they had endured, after the war, the betrayals, the bloodshed and the uncertainty, there was now a tiny life growing inside the woman he loved.Lorenzo turned slightly at the sound of hurried footsteps from outside.A guard appeared at the doorway."Don."Lorenzo looked at him."There are people at the gate.""Who?""The safe-house guards."Don Lorenzo's expression immediately changed."And Isabella's mother."Lorenzo nodded."They're here. Let them in."Within minutes, they reached the front entrance.Isabella's mother was already ste

The burial of Don Silivio Rossi was as solemn as it should have been.There was no music.No unnecessary conversations.Only silence, mourning, and the heavy presence of men who understood exactly what the death of a Mafia Don meant.Black vehicles filled the driveway and lined the surrounding streets.Men in dark suits stood at every entrance.Armed Valenti soldiers were positioned along the perimeter, on the balconies, near the gates, and even among the trees surrounding the estate.Nothing was being left to chance.Don Lorenzo wasn't willing to take any risks.Every person who entered the estate had been searched.Every vehicle had been inspected.Every guard had been given strict instructions.There would be no surprises.Not today.The invited Mafia Dons arrived one after another.Some came with only a few trusted men.Others arrived with entire entourages.They stepped out of their expensive vehicles wearing black suits, dark glasses, and expressions of solemn respect.But behin

The next morning, the Rossi estate felt strangely different.Valeria was still recovering.Her shoulder remained bandaged, and although the physician had assured everyone that she would make a full recovery, she was still weak.Alessandro refused to leave her side.He had spent most of the morning sitting beside her, occasionally helping her with things she couldn't comfortably do herself.But then a guard came to the room."Don Lorenzo wants to see both of you."Valeria looked at Alessandro.Nico nodded.They followed the guard through the corridors until they reached one of the smaller sitting rooms.Don Lorenzo was already there.He stood beside the window, his hands behind his back.When the door opened, he turned."Come in."Valeria and Alessandro entered.Lorenzo gestured toward the chairs."Sit."They did.For several seconds, Lorenzo said nothing.His eyes moved between them.They were both young.Far too young to have been dragged into a world where betrayal, bloodshed and de
