The room fell silent at Vincenzo’s claim to be the interim CEO, while Max was in the hospital."Son, this isn't the time for power grabs. We need to focus on Max's recovery," Evelyn said.Vincenzo's expression hardened. "And while we wait, our enemies will strike. We can't afford to be leaderless."Magnus stepped forward, supporting Vincenzo's claim. "He's right. We need someone to take charge, if only temporarily."Bucky, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "But what about the rest of us? We should decide this together, not just hand over power."Ronald, standing near the doorway, nodded in agreement. "Bucky’s right. This is a decision for the entire family."Vincenzo's eyes flicked to Magnus, who gave a subtle nod of encouragement. "I'm not suggesting a corporate takeover. Just... a temporary measure. Until Max is back on his feet."Evelyn sighed, rubbing her temples. "Alright. Let's discuss this rationally. We need to ensure the family remains united."Evelyn took a deep breath

Giovanni "Gio" Romano, is the face of the Lucky family's legitimate enterprise, Romano Pharmaceuticals, which in turn they use as a front to sell illegal drugs. Isabella "Bella" Marino is the CEO and Capo of the escort service, which is used as the best cover for their

The tension in the private dining room was palpable as the board of directors digested the information Roland had presented. The evidence against Vincenzo weighed heavily on everyone’s mind, the gravity of the situation sinking in.Before anyone could speak further, the door swung open with a bang. Magnus strode in, his face set in a determined expression.“What’s going on here?” Magnus demanded, looking around the room.Roland stepped forward, he was surprised by how Magnus found out about the meeting, his voice firm. “We’re discussing some serious allegations against Vincenzo, Magnus. Luca brought evidence last night that--”Magnus interrupted, his voice rising. “Luca? That traitor? You’re listening to him? He’s been out of the loop for years, Roland. He’s probably working with our enemies!”Vittorio tried to calm the situation. “Magnus, we need to consider all possibilities. This evidence is substantial.”Magnus’s eyes flashed with anger. “Substantial? It’s fabricated! Uncle, Vince

The Lucky family mansion was filled with an oppressive silence as the shareholders, and board of directors took their seats. The air was thick with anticipation, every eye turned towards the front of the room where Vincenzo stood, basking in the attention. But in the shadows, an unexpected alliance was forming.Ronald approached Bucky in a quiet corner of the mansion. "Bucky, we need to talk."Bucky looked up, "Ronald, what is it? You look tense."Ronald glanced around to ensure they weren't overheard. "We can't just dismiss the evidence against Uncle, Vincenzo. I know he is playing us all. We need to expose him."Bucky's eyes narrowed. "What do you want me to do, Ronald?

Trisha spun around, her heart pounding. Bucky stood there, his expression unreadable."Bucky," she stammered, "I was just... looking for something to eat."Bucky raised an eyebrow. "At this hour? Interesting choice."Trisha forced a laugh. "I couldn't sleep. and I thought I would give Max some room to rest.”He stepped closer, his eyes scanning her face. "You look tense. Everything alright with you?""Just... everything that's happening with the family. It’s a lot to take in," she said, hoping to deflect his attention.Bucky nodded, his gaze lingering. "I understand. It's been a rough time for all of us. But I want you to know, Trisha, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here."Trisha shifted uncomfortably. "Thanks, Bucky. I appreciate it."Trisha went to bed.
