Tony, He had seen everything. Tony looked at the mess of food on the office floor, then at his boss. “You messed up, Mr. Morello.” Tony said quietly. Dominic closed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. “I know.” * Rachel’s phone began to ring. She wiped her tears, trying to breathe. Unknown number. She almost ignored it. But something made her answer.

Athena had sent another message right after the picture: “She looks like a little whore, doesn’t she? Quite the downgrade for the esteemed Lucien Giordano.” I should have ignored it. I should have deleted the message, continued with the meeting, and allowed the inevitable fury to subside. Instead, I felt a sharp, inexplicable unease gnaw at the edges of my composure. I dropped the phone onto the table, the sound echoing through the room.

Tony said as he covered Steven’s hand with his. “I'm sorry, Man. That sucks.” “It's fine. I’ll have my usual now.” Steven said, feeling himself grow crankier by the minute. This was one of the things he remembered he hadn’t loved about Ziggler’s. Tony was way too inquisitive for his liking. “I take it your usual hasn't changed? It's been ten years after all.” “It hasn't.” Steven said, as Tony lagged his hand and shuffled to his feet. Ten minutes later, Steven placed a chilled glass before him.

Tony sighed and said, “I can imagine how distraught you must feel by this situation. However, I am not being unrealistic when I say this isn’t the end of the world.” Kate rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah, maybe not for you, but it is for me.” “I could speak to your parents about this if you want,” Tony offered. “It might soften the blow a little.” Kate glared at him and said, “Why would you do that?

Spike's Pov Standing at the doorway of Brax's study, I watched as Luna sat hunched over yet another ancient tome. Her fingers traced the faded text while her eyes, shadowed with exhaustion, scanned each line with feverish determination. My worry for her grew with each passing day. Luna was spiralling, throwing herself into a desperate search for Brax, ignoring her duties as Alpha. Even the packs had started to show signs of strain. Nick had approached me earlier today, his face etched with concern. "Spike, you need to talk to her. The Elders are losing patience. If she keeps missing meetings and neglecting her responsibilities, they might strip her of her title."

Everyone looked around the table and when no one said anything I asked, “Why are the Gambino’s absent?” “Carmine is still put off by the fact I won’t consider that fat fuck christopher for boss. He sent word that he couldn’t make it, made up some stupid fucking excuse so I couldn’t accuse him of disrespect, but we all know why he’s not here,” Tony said. Tony’s voice was getting raspier and he seemed like he had a lot harder time breathing every time I saw him. He was dying of throat cancer….but only he and I knew that.

Enzo bent forward, his face a few inches away from the screen. His eyes went to the date on the screen, verifying. "Was she alright during the meeting?" was Enzo's concerned question. Jude's face became contemplative. "She seemed. distracted," Tony said slowly. Enzo's brow furrowed. "Distracted?" Enzo repeated. Tony nodded.

It’s after midnight but it seems Tony needed this meeting. urgently. “How can we help you Tony?” I asked. “It's getting harder to get a hold of you nowadays.” He said with a sly grin. “Oh you know how much work it is being the Don.” I smirk, taunting him He sneered at that before smiling. “Ah yes I know your father was the best one I had seen so far. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about business.” He said.

He turned to Zac, “My name is Jonathan. I’m the Campaign Manager of Zandawoo. It’s such an honor to have you here with us.” Zac’s eyes narrowed, but he nodded politely. “I had no idea you were in this industry,” Mia continued, “last I remember, you wanted to be an astronaut.” “Sometimes life has its own plans,” Jonathan said softly, smiling. “And now here you are. Looking more stunning than before.” Zac’s jaw flexed. At this point, he wasn’t smiling anymore. “Well,” Zac cut in, “seems life worked out for everyone.” “Indeed,” Jonathan replied coolly. “And now, I get the privilege of working with the wife of New York’s top mogul.”
