He nodded and walked out of the room. I let out a long, shaky breath the moment Mr Palazzo’s footsteps faded. I rested my body on the nearest shelf, relief washing over me. That was too close. If I hadn't been lucky the book was in Italian. My fingers were still trembling around the thick volume of La divina commedia. I walked to the door, and looked out the hallway, checking for any sign of him and then I quickly shut the door and turned the lock softly. Then I headed to the small desk near the window, my pulse thundering in my ears as I placed the heavy book down and slipped my hand under my top to bring out the diary.

*Note to all my readers:- Some of this book is written in Italian with the English explanation in brackets next to it. The reason is simply that the Mafia are from Italy and Sicily and as it is their language it makes their conversations more authentic. I hope you enjoy the book. Manchester is a large industrial city in the northwest of England, it is the main city in Greater Manchester County consisting of 2.868 million people.

In the nineteenth century, this included Italians from the province of Caserta,

“I’m in the middle of something.” “You always are,” he said. “Which is why you forget who you are.” My jaw tightened. “I haven’t forgotten,” I said. “Then you’ll be on the next flight.” The line went dead. I didn’t move for several seconds. Italy. That word alone carried ghosts. Marble halls. Men who spoke softly before ordering deaths. Family dinners that ended with negotiations. A childhood where love was conditional and loyalty absolute. And now—now there was Sienna. I stood and crossed the office, pouring myself a drink I didn’t need. I didn’t touch it.

Chapter 273: Shadows Over Sicily Elenas POV The villa in Palermo overlooked the Tyrrhenian Sea like a fortress carved from ancient stone. Whitewashed walls glowed under the Sicilian sun. Bougainvillea spilled purple over every balcony. Olive groves stretched down the hills toward the city below where narrow streets twisted like veins through the old town. We had fled in the dead of night after the first strikes. Private jet. Fake passports. A new life whispered in the wind as we landed on this island of blood and beauty. Vic the Blade still hunted Matteo back where it all began. Let him chase ghosts there. We had cut deeper. Frozen his money. Burned his guns. Freed his girls. Now the real wa

It was the scent of old, crumbling paper, leather binding, and dust. I reached inside and pulled out the contents. It was a small stack of three books. The leather covers were worn at the edges, the gold foil lettering faded to a dull yellow. I traced the title of the top volume with a trembling thumb. It was an old Italian translation of classic poetry—the exact edition I used to hide in the library rafters of the main Ricaforte estate to read when the world became too loud.

this was beyond anything I had imagined. Books. So many books. Some with cracked spines and faded covers, others shiny and new, glinting beneath the glow of the chandelier. They looked untouched, as if they’d been waiting, silently, patiently, for someone to wander in and care enough to open them again. I ran my fingers along the shelves as I passed.

Like the walls themselves were holding their breath, waiting to tell me something.

"Oh my God, you guys are going to Italy?"Paige shrill voice caught her by surprise excitement in her voice for their trip, she properly placed the phone between her shoulder and her left ear, looking for clothes to fit the trip, she selected a few free flowy dresses, and her favourites Chiffons pleated pants with matching tops folding it into her luggage. "Yes, I told Gran yesterday and she was ecstatic about it,"she replied Paige "Wow, I have read Italy is a very romantic place, who knows what might happen there?" There was a teasing edge in her voice.

She might have done well. He pulled a seat out for her, and walked back to take the opposite chair. “I am starving,” she said as she unwrapped the warm croissants. He wanted to point out that she was always starving, but thought the better of it. “We will not be alone in Florence,” he said, as they ate. “You think that is really the best place to go? Italy is the capital of your Mafia world,” she said, staring at her food worriedly. “That is exactly why I am headed there. Everyone would think I would be foolish to go there.” He bit into his warm buttery brioche.

The security opened the back gate and my driver drove in. As soon as the car pulled into the compound, I jumped out and headed straight for the trap door, hidden from anyone living in the mansion.

The pack in Italy had also begun to multiply and with our guidance started a pack in France. Writing down everything that has happened from the last 200 years is a daunting task that we stared during our hunt to the others. When the dark war ended and most of our books were destroyed by fire or ruined by the water Amelia had used to put out the fires with, everything needed to be written down as best we could remember.
