2025-07-03 15:52:03Morning sunlightfiltered through the tall windows of the penthouse safehouse. Jason stood shirtless in the kitchen, flipping through surveillance footage on his tablet while sipping black coffee. His back bore old scars, some from beatings, others from nights the streets didnt spare him.
Valentina leaned against the doorway, watching him. You dont sleep much,she said. Jason didnt look up. I cant afford to. She walked in, tying her silk robe. You kissed me last night. You kissed me back. Valentina smirked. I didnt say I regretted it. Jason finally looked at her. His voice dropped to something quiet, almost afraid to be hopeful. I dont regret it either. She sat at the counter. So now what? We pretend we didnt feel it, or we let it get in the way? Jason turned off the tablet. We use it. Let them believe its real. Valentinas expression sobered. And if it becomes real? Jason said nothing. But his silence spoke more than words ever could. Elsewhere – Moretti Mansion Luciano Moretti paced his private study, holding a picture frame in his hand, a photo of Jason at ten years old, beaming beside his late mother. A knock came at the door. Enter,he said coldly. In walked Nico Moretti, Jasons cousin, the son of Lucianos brother, and the current heir apparent. Hes become a problem, Nico said. Jasons outmaneuvering our partners. Valentinas betrayals making you look weak. Luciano stared at the photo for a long moment before answering. Then fix it. Quietly. Nico hesitated. You want him dead? Luciano turned slowly. No. I want him broken. The way I should have broken him years ago. Later That Day – Midtown Manhattan Jason and Valentina entered La Viña, the five-star restaurant known for catering to New Yorks underworld elite. Tonight, it was hosting a Russo-Moretti summit. Neither family had expected Jason to show up. They certainly didnt expect him arm-in-arm with Valentina. All conversation died the moment they walked in. Luciano stood first. Jason. Jason smiled. Good to see you too… Dad. Murmurs erupted. Giovanni Russo narrowed his eyes. This is madness. Valentina tilted her chin. No. This is a choice. Jason pulled out a seat for her. Shall we begin? The dinner was poison behind silver forks. Every word had a second meaning. Every toast a veiled threat. Luciano leaned back. I must admit, Im surprised to see you breathing, Jason. After everything. Jason smiled. Resilience is genetic, or so Ive heard. Giovanni cut in. Your so-called engagement is reckless. This will destroy both familiesalliances. Jason leaned forward, eyes sharp. Maybe the alliances should burn. Nico spoke next. Youve got guts showing your face here, cousin. But guts arent enough. Jasons smile didnt reach his eyes. Im not here to impress you, Nico. Im here to expose you. Nico stiffened. What did you say? Jason placed a folder on the table. Ten years of siphoned money. Offshore accounts. Deals with enemies of the family. Gasps. Lucianos face turned pale. Giovanni grabbed the folder and flipped through it. Is this real? Jason nodded. Your son-in-law-to-bes been selling both of you out. Valentinas eyes widened. Jason stood. You were all so focused on me being the waste, the weak link… you forgot to check your golden boy. Nico lunged across the table, but guards grabbed him. Lucianos hand trembled. Take him away. Ill handle this. As Nico was dragged out, screaming threats, Jason turned to both dons. The world is changing. You either evolve or you get buried. Luciano growled, This isnt over. Jason smirked. It never is. He offered his arm to Valentina. She took it. And they left the room like royalty. That Night – The Vault Valentina paced as Jason watched footage of Nicos arrest being leaked to the press. Do you realize what you just did?she asked. Jason nodded. Shifted the board. You just tore the Moretti family in half. I promised them a reckoning. Valentina stopped pacing. My father wont forgive me. Jason turned to her, serious. Then stand with me. She swallowed hard. I already have. He stepped closer. Why? Because I dont want to be someones daughter or pawn anymore. I want to burn my own empire into this city. Jason stared at her. Then kissed her again this time slower, deeper, honest. When they pulled apart, he whispered, Then lets become legends.

Jason was listening. Watching. But not intervening.“I wanted you to hear it from me,” Valentina continued. “Before you make a choice you can’t take back.”Eva’s voice trembled. “I don’t need your stories. I have orders.”Valentina stepped closer. “And what if those orders were lies?”Eva hesitated.“I read Giovanni’s letters,” Valentina said. “He never loved anyone.
Sisters Of Ruin

The Vatican walls flickered with satellite heat signatures.Jason stood at the head of the table. His voice was calm—but every syllable was laced with fire.“He’s planning a full coup. He wants the Five Families under one fist. His fist.”Mila flipped through intercepted comms. “Our window is small. Luciano's private militia is already en route to Vatican City. If he takes the Concordia Meeting this Sunday, it’s over. He’ll be untouchable.”Valentina—dressed in black leather, hair tied back like a crown—asked the one question everyone avoided:“What if Eva kills me before Sunday?”Silence.Jason finally looked at her.“She won’t.”Valentina whispered, “You don’t know that.”Jason walked toward her slowly.“She hesitated. Twice. And we both know what hesitation means.”Valentina nodded. “Doubt.”***Meanwhile – Hi
