Although it was going to be really hard, Charlie knew that she just had to be a little patient because when that slip happened, she would be waiting to get it and hopefully unravel the deep dirty secrets of the mafia. Then New York would be a safer place and these dark times would be over. She looked up from the pile of paperwork on her desk which she was trying to get through ,yawning because she was beginning to feel a little sle

He gestured toward the chef. I greeted him politely, forcing a calm exterior. But Gerrard's expression flickered ever so slightly. He his eyes at me, confused. My pulse jumped. Had I said something wrong? Gerrard frowned slightly at my reaction before giving me an encouraging smile. "Lily, don’t you remember? This is Chef Marcel DuPont. He’s one of the finest culinary masters in France… and not just that, he was one of your instructors back at your culinary school. You even wrote on one of your social media posts that you admired him and looked up to him. I was expecting more excitement."

The first guard said, glaring at Mauris. "I don't think this is the best time to argue this Mauris." Maggie cautioned, looking at the guards with a suspicious look. "Let's go and I would go get Oma to check on things." Mauris relaxed at the mention of Oma, she must be a sensational personality when it came to combat.

Her nervous face seemed relieved. After seeing it, I started eating again. While chewing the juicy steak in my mouth, I suddenly remembered the girl with a mask. The one and only Magda. I stopped eating and leaned my back on my seat. I remembered that Magda is living in the village where Angela lives. The village is small so it's possible she knew the mystery woman. "Angela..." I called out. She looked at me and stopped eating. "Yes, Clark?" she asked. I took a deep breath and released it slowly.

Mike's POV My meeting with Nate was not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't know him before now but seeing how he was able to get my contact for him to reach out to me. It simply means he is a very dangerous man and he can get anything he wants. Thinking about it now, that's not so far-fetched from what a mafia can do. Nothing goes hidden in their watch except for something they lack interest in. I need to get informants like his for myself.

"Guess who else is in the Mafia. Sebastian! And that's his real freaking name." "Caterina doesn't know he is in the Mafia, so way to blow your cover." "Caterina isn't dumb either." "What's the name I told you then?" "You know what, just forget it. The only way I'll tell you is if in two seconds from dying." The Capri Clan finally comes up with a plan to raid the Etna Cartel. With Alessandro leading the men, they drive towards the De Luca's family estate with only one thing in mind; Rescue Caterina Russo.

“Why is it impossible? Margaux is a big shot. She's now the new CEO of the largest company in the world. Her words matter in the business industry. All the businessmen would do everything she asked for without moving a finger.” Shaking his head, Hendrix didn't believe it or rather, he was refusing to believe it. For him, Margaux was his innocent and demure wife. Although she said unpleasant words towards his mother earlier, he still chose to believe the doctor who said she was only in a bad mood and didn't actually mean it. “Is there anything else from your investigation?” he queried, changing the topic. Giro didn't hide his disappointment with his obvious avoidance of the topic. However, he

He called as if he was familiar with me. “Do I know you?” I had to ask. “Right, you don't,” he muttered. “My name is Hugo and I am here to talk about your very good friend, Maggie Zachy. Would you be willing to…” “How do you know Maggie?” I asked. “I am a reporter with Paris Times,” Hugo said calmly. “I was in contact with Maggie during her stay here but she broke contact after her divorce. I am aware she is staying with you in London. I believe you are a trusted friend of hers.”

I responded. “Astor Giovanni has been arrested.” He replied. I leaned back on my chair as I let the words sink in. This is just one third of what I had been hoping for. This is the beginning of his ruin. Yes, I wanted him broken, dead and forgotten but I would have to do it bit by bit. “He was arrested for financial crimes.” Maxwell continued “…his accounts have been frozen.” The sound of that brought joy to my soul. Good. “There’s more,” Maxwell carefully stated.

"Ma'am, do you have any idea who might be behind this?" the police officer asked Maggie. "I already told you, I don't know. I've been living here in Chicago for a short period, and I know a handful of people. I never did anything wrong in my life, never stole anything, or hurt anyone. I never even got a parking ticket!"
