Ezio Auditore Novels & Stories

[Juliette’s POV] ‘I gave you the receipts, didn’t I?’ That look of disgust was hard to miss. The descendant of the command sergeant, Calum Virtus, Director of the Virtus Retails, was known to be the better—and prettier—version of Marco. And he was a clean freak. Arms crossed, the pretty guy snorted. ‘Ezio warned us all. So I sent them all to you yesterday. After working hours, of course. After all the real work was done.’

She turned back to face me with an impish grin, "Oh, I just wanted to tell you that the wolf working on the security cameras completed the job. Not only did he wipe your presence from the building, he hacked into all four of their emails and sent in their resignation letters. He then hacked into their social media accounts to make it seem as if they're alive and traveling the globe or wherever. He'll gradually stop after a while. We just have to hope the families of these people don't figure out they're missing. Either way, there's no evidence to tie anything to you." "That's good. He did a good job," I praised, expressing my gratitude. "He did an excellent job is more like it. It's crazy wh

I was determined to remain unseen and listen to their conversation. Carlo looked stunned by the news and quickly sprang into action. He started by assessing the situation and gathering information from the IT department. He soon realized that the breach was much more severe than Aziel had initially thought. I stood in the corner of the room, watching as Aziel and Carlo worked frantically to contain the damage from the data breach. Despite the stress and tension in the air, I could see how Carlo remained calm and focused, working tirelessly for hours on end. As I watched, I felt a twinge of guilt for not being there to help.

He was the smallest of the 25, in size, barely 5'3", no military past, just a record of ghosting every foster system he’d been placed into. Raised by no one, loyal to nothing. That’s what got Antonioni’s attention. But Zino was also a coding wizard. Got Antonioni's attention there too. Milo dropped a hard drive on the table. "Your target is a courier. a Lorenzo’s man. He has a molar implant, titanium cap, right lower second molar. Inside it? Data. Maps. Codes. List of defectors." Zino’s brows twitched, just once.

The tip came early that morning—a flagged irregularity in the Montclaire financial records, subtle discrepancies traced directly to Luca Moretti, one of Matteo’s most trusted accountants. Someone had accessed the Zurich files recently, transferring sensitive records without authorization, risking exposure. Matteo had quietly ordered Luca’s detention, but Elise had learned about it through her own network, carefully concealed behind layers of trusted intermediaries Matteo himself had underestimated.

“Good. I want names by noon. And I want them sorted by clearance level. Anyone who’s touched coded intel? Red flagged. No exceptions.” Gia glanced at me. “That includes Carlo.” My spine stiffened. “I know.” Zach shot me a look but didn’t argue. Carlo had been with my father for over a decade. But that didn’t mean shit anymore. “If he flinches, he’s done,” I said. Silence fell. A heavy kind of unity. This was our new language now, sharp, fast, clean. Zach crossed his arms. “Once the internal audit’s done, we move on Gio.”

DOMINIC: Who authorized the move? A pause as he waited for the reply. ENZO: No official order from above. That’s what scares me. Dominic closed his eyes. “Of course,” he muttered, looking down at his phone and started to type a reply. DOMINIC: Who are you suspecting? Another pause. Longer. ENZO: Not confirmed. But it looks like Aurelio’s fingerprints are everywhere. Dominic’s grip tightened around the phone. “Son of a b1tch,” he muttered darkly.

“You’re underestimating me. Do you even know who I am?” Beside me, Zoe muttered under her breath, but I caught it. “Who is he?” Levi answered, his voice low. “Elijah is in the mafia.” Zoe blinked. “Oh… him? He doesn’t really look like it.” Levi shook his head. “Don’t be delusional. They’re all dangerous. Asher is the worst, he can kill with anything within reach. Mateo, he’s not here, but he’s an expert with guns. And then there’s Elijah, a hacker who can break into anything in the world.”

“She's the one I told you about." A murmur rippled across the table as soon as he said that. None of them looked surprised, because he'd clearly told them about me. But that didn’t stop the disapproving looks I got from them. "Let me introduce you," Adrian said, standing as he gestured toward each man. "This is Enzo Valenti. He’s our weapons specialist and distributor. Beside him is Lorenzo Caruso. He controls the ports here on the East Coast." Lorenzo gave a slow look that made my skin crawl, but I didn't blink as I stared back at him. I didn’t want to look weak to any of them, because they would tear me to pieces if they sensed any sign of weakness in me.

And now, learning that Alejandro and Isabela were in Costa Smeralda, that Alejandro had been released without a single charge, that Vice Commissioner Vittorio Salvi was dead… Vanessa understood everything. Something big was coming for Dino. —I always thought Dino wanted her dead… —she whispered, lighting a cigarette with trembling fingers—. But I was wrong. He wants her for himself. —And that’s why that bastard left me. As she drowned in bitter thoughts, a knock on the door interrupted her. —Who is it? —she said firmly. —It’s me, Ezio —replied a deep voice from the other side. Ezio was one of Dino's former bodyguards. She had seduced him months ago, playing the distraction game. But Ezio was
