THE MAFIA’S FORGOTTEN SON
Cast out as a child, betrayed by blood, and erased from his father’s empire—Adrian DeLuca was never meant to return. To the mafia, he was just a bastard, a mistake, a ghost better left in exile.
But ghosts have a way of coming back.
Now a cold and calculating lawyer with nothing to lose, Adrian returns to the city that abandoned him. He doesn’t come with guns blazing—he comes with something deadlier: a mind sharpened by years in the shadows, an unshakable will for revenge, and the hunger to tear down the empire brick by brick.
His half-brothers rule the DeLuca syndicate with arrogance and cruelty. His father sits on the throne of blood, untouchable. But Adrian knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their sins. He will turn allies into traitors, rivals into pawns, and enemies into stepping stones.
Every courtroom victory, every hostile takeover, every life ruined brings him closer to his endgame.
But power has a price. The deeper Adrian dives into the underworld, the more dangerous the game becomes. Enemies close in, the law hunts him, and even love becomes a weapon aimed at his heart.
In a world ruled by loyalty and blood, Adrian must decide:
Will he reclaim the throne as the true heir…
or burn the entire empire to the ground and bury his family with it?

Chapter: Invisible Law firmPower wore a tailored suit that morning—precise, cold, impossible to ignore. In the glass of Via Montenapoleone the reflection was flawless: boutiques glittering with impossible timepieces, men and women moving like chess pieces. And in the middle of it all, Studio Legale Vero breathed its quiet threat—no neon, no proclamation—only steel and glass that made passersby slow, the air around it humming like a barely contained charge.Nobody outside suspected the truth: this law firm was a crafted illusion, an argument built to persuade the city itself. Everything about it was real enough to make disbelief ridiculous—credentials, alumni lists, bar admissions, references that scraped clean through background checks—yet beneath the surface the paper was a blade and the blade was sharp.Adrian Morgan didn’t enter rooms so much as take them over. He moved like a man who had made the world understand that losing was not an option. Prosecutors saw his name and rechecked their strategy. Judges so

Chapter: The Fire That SleepsIsabella DeLuca had once been the most admired woman in Milan. She did not need her husband’s name to command respect; she had her own empire long before Salvatore had begun to claw his way up the ranks of the underworld. Born into wealth, educated in Paris and London, she had turned her inheritance into power, investing in companies that spread across Europe—shipping, textiles, even banking. She had been a billionaire in her own right, a woman whose signature could alter markets, whose beauty drew whispers at every gala, whose intelligence left men scrambling to keep pace.And yet, when people spoke of her, they always added his name. Isabella, wife of Don Salvatore DeLuca. She allowed it, even encouraged it, because she loved him with the kind of devotion that defied reason. In public, she was his equal, dazzling in silk gowns and diamond earrings. In private, she was his shield, his cover, the one who soothed his temper and explained away his crimes as the actions of a man misunder

Chapter: Blood in the LedgerThe DeLuca name was not just a surname in Milan—it was a verdict. When men spoke it in darkened taverns or in the cramped backrooms of cafes, they did so in hushed tones, as if the syllables themselves could summon a shadow in the doorway. The family had built an empire upon fear, an empire that reached beyond the alleys and piazzas of the city, spilling into Rome, Naples, Palermo. Wherever there was blood to be spilled, money to be laundered, or loyalty to be bought, the DeLucas had a hand in it. To outsiders, they were myth. To Milan, they were reality—brutal, inescapable, and eternal.Adrian had spent years trying to escape that reality. But sitting now in the warehouse safe house, staring at the documents scattered across the table, he realized that no matter how far he had run, the shadow of the DeLuca crest followed him like a curse. The papers bore names, numbers, offshore accounts, secret vaults, bribes, and murders disguised as suicides. They were more than ledgers. They were

Chapter: The Architects of SilenceThe safe house sat deep in the industrial outskirts of Milan, a forgotten warehouse tucked between shuttered factories and abandoned rail lines. No signs marked its presence. No lights glowed from its windows after dark. To the city, it didn’t exist. That was the point.Inside, the space had been transformed—concrete floors swept clean, reinforced steel doors bolted shut, motion sensors lining every entrance. A single fluorescent strip ran across the ceiling, casting a sterile glow over the long steel table at the center. Maps, surveillance photos, and encrypted data streams covered the walls like a war room from a forgotten war. Wires snaked across the floor, connecting laptops, signal jammers, and a secure satellite uplink that pinged through three proxy servers before reaching its destination.It was 6:47 PM when the last member arrived.Elena Rossi stepped in first, hood pulled low over her face, a leather satchel slung across her shoulder. She didn’t speak, only nodded at Calvin,

Chapter: The Weight of BreadThe morning sun had not yet risen over Milan, but the city was already awake—its veins pulsing with the low hum of traffic, the distant wail of a siren, the quiet stir of lives beginning anew. In the penthouse perched high above the chaos, silence reigned like a held breath.Then came the soft knock at the door.Adrian didn’t turn from the floor-to-ceiling window where he stood, barefoot, wrapped in a black robe, watching the sky bleed from indigo to gray. He knew who it was.“Enter,” he said, voice low, unshaken.The door opened, and in stepped Calvin Carroll—lean, sharp-eyed, dressed in a tailored charcoal suit that whispered of quiet authority. His dark hair was cropped close, his posture rigid with discipline. He carried a tablet in one hand and a manila folder in the other. But it wasn’t the documents that defined him—it was the scar that ran from his left temple down to his jawline, a jagged reminder of the night Adrian had pulled him from the mouth of death.Ten years ago, Calv

Chapter: The Foundation of ShadowsThe storm had passed, but Adrian couldn’t shake the sense that thunder still rolled behind his ribs. Milan’s skyline glittered against the night, a thousand llights6x.6xretending to be stars, but he knew better. In this city, light only meant someone wanted to be seen—and shadows were where power really lived.He sat at his desk, the black envelope still resting where he had left it hours ago. The Valenti emissary’s words replayed in his head. Names don’t stay buried forever.Adrian sipped his whiskey, steady, calculating. Fear had no place in him anymore. He had walked too long in the dark to tremble now. But there was something worse than fear: exposure.He had built “Adrian Morgan” from nothing—a man without history, without bloodlines, untouchable in court and beyond suspicion. The undefeated lawyer, the face of discipline. If the mask slipped, everything would unravel.And so he made his decision. He would no longx07.er stand alone. If the Valentis wanted to test him, if old enem
