REFLECTION
The red Ferrari pulled through the gates, roof down, wind cutting through the car. Andrew drove with a calm that didn't match the power of the engine. Behind him, a long line of black SUVs followed like faithful wolves.Emilia sat beside him, her white dress blowing, her hair a mess. She didn't fix it. She just stared at the mansion growing larger in front of them.It was huge. Older than the Ciaro estate. Stone walls, tall columns, a fountain spraying water into the golden afternoon light.Andrew parked. Killed the engine. The silence felt loud."Where are we?" Emilia asked."One of my father's mansions. I took it over when I became the cartel leader."She turned to look at him. "Cartel leader. Andrew, I don't understand anything right now."He got out, walked around, opened her door. "I know. Let's go inside and I'll explain everything. I promise."She took his hand. He led her up the stone steps.---The front doors opened and Emilia stopped.Gold. Everywhere. Not flashy, but warm.
WILD FIRE
The news hit Boston like a bomb.Within hours, everyone was talking about what happened at the wedding. Lesner—the untouchable, the king of the underworld—had been humiliated at his own altar. And not by a rival boss or a police raid. By a boy. A ghost. No one knew his name. No one had ever seen him before.But they saw him now.Men in red. Thousands of them. Guns hidden under priest robes. An army that appeared from nowhere. And at the center of it all, a young man in a crimson suit who walked like he owned the world.People whispered in bars. They argued in streets. They made calls in the dark. Who was he? Where did he come from? And how did he break Lesner so easily?No one had answers. But everyone felt the shift. The balance of power in Boston had just been shattered.---Inside the Ciaro mansion, no one spoke.Thirty minutes had passed since they returned from the church. Thirty minutes of dead silence. Mrs. Ciaro sat in her chair, a cold cup of tea forgotten in her hands. Her d
THE CARTEL'S PLOT(WEDDING DAY)
It was exactly three days since Lesner had set the date, and the wedding was holding in the biggest church in Boston.Mrs. Ciaro had poured everything into this wedding. Money, connections, favors—she didn't hold back. In her mind, she was finally securing the family's future. Her daughter was marrying the most powerful man in the city. Lesner would protect them, provide for them, make them untouchable. Never mind that she had broken her dead husband's word. Never mind that Emilia was already married to Andrew. In Mrs. Ciaro's world, survival mattered more than promises.She sat in the front pew, dressed in an expensive purple gown, smiling like she had won a war. Her daughters sat beside her—Stacy, Sophia, Lily. They wore matching dresses and fake smiles. Inside, they were still burning with jealousy. Lesner had walked past them like they were furniture. He had chosen Emilia, the quiet one, the favorite, the sister who never had to try. But they weren't about to show that bitterness
CHAPTER 7
The door swung open and Andrew stepped inside like he owned the place.The room went dead silent. Stacy's jaw dropped, Sophia blinked like she was seeing a ghost, and Lily's eyes went so wide they looked like they might pop out. Mrs. Ciaro froze with her tea cup halfway to her lips. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed.Andrew stood there without a single scratch on him, no blood, no fear—just that calm, confident look that made no sense at all.Then Emilia moved. She didn't walk, she ran straight into his chest and wrapped her arms around him so tight he could feel her shaking. "You're alive," she whispered, and for a moment Andrew just held her, letting the warmth of her body tell him this was real."You're alive," she said again, louder this time."I'm alive," he replied.Mrs. Ciaro broke the moment first. "How did you escape?" she demanded, slamming her tea cup down. "Did Lesner let you go? Are you hurt?" Stacy and Sophia piled on with their own questions, their voices sharp and suspicio
CHAPTER 6: CHAPPATTI CARTEL.
Andrew's head was spinning. He looked around the hall again. The governor. The senator. The judge. All standing amongst men in red. All looking at him like he was someone important. "I don't understand," Andrew said. "My father was a second-in-command. That's what Mr. Ciaro had told me. That's all I ever knew." A reply came from Klaus almost immediately. "Your father was never a second-in-command. He was the leader. The founder. The most powerful cartel boss this city has ever seen." Andrew's mouth went dry. "Then why—" "Why did Ciaro tell you different?" Klaus finished. "Because that was the deal. Ciaro protected you. In return, he kept the Chappatti cartel name hidden. He kept you hidden. Until you were ready." Andrew's head was pounding. Too much information. Too fast. "I have so many questions," he said. Klaus nodded. "I know. And I will answer every single one of them." He stepped closer. "But not tonight. Tonight, we have something more important." An
CHAPTER 5: SELF DISCOVERY 2
The car sped through the dark. Andrew's head was spinning. From the whiskey. From fear. From everything that had happened tonight. He was pressed against the back seat, two huge men on either side of him. Their arms were thick. Their faces were stone. They didn't speak. Didn't look at him. Andrew's heart was pounding so hard he thought it would burst. "Lesner sent you," he said. His voice was shaking. "I know he sent you. He's going to kill me." No answer. "You're taking me somewhere to chop me up, aren't you?" Andrew's voice got louder. "Just like they did to my father. Just like—" "Calm down," the elderly man said. He sat across from Andrew. The scarred one. The one who had spoken to him under the tree. "Calm down?" Andrew laughed but it was crazy. Unhinged. "You grabbed me. You threw me in a car. You want me to calm down?" He tried to push at the door. Locked. He tried to shove the men beside him. They didn't move. "Let me out!" Andrew shouted. "Let me out of this car!
