To let go of the greed that had made him more and more blind over the years. “It will be over soon.” he said quietly, “just endure it. A few more minutes.” “Fuck you!” I finally roared. The man who stood in front of me was no longer my dad. All the hopes, the dreams, the happiness and the excitement I held in my heart after seeing him alive had disappeared and there was nothing left but loathing. A person who can burn his wife, his daughter and her mate alive for his greed would never have really love anyone or anything else but power.

“You still get to take the Giordano family—unless you don’t want it.” Marcello clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. I saw it then, the raw, unadulterated greed that flashed across his face, the insatiable hunger for power that consumed him.

"He possesses just enough cunning to realize when he is outmatched, but he is far too weak to act on his own instincts." "What about the woman, sir?" the security chief asked. "She pushed back. She convinced him that fifty thousand dollars was enough to fight back, hire fixers, and launch another scheme. She is blinding him with her greed."

I had hoped it would grant him the strength he needed to protect his own pack from an imminent threat, but his plans had crumbled before him. “You knew this all along and you allowed me command every of my men who had died to pick it up??” I barked at the physician, my face red with anger. “this is what happens to every man like you, that are blinded by their ego and greed, men who thinks they are capable of owning the world and do whatever they want.” “Men like you that are prideful and ambitious , driven by an insatiable hunger for power and possessions.
