Under The Oak Tree Manta

Leo Moretti was the rightful heir to the powerful Moretti mafia empire—until the night his mother was murdered and he was framed for the crime. Betrayed by his own uncle and abandoned by the world, Leo is sentenced to life in a brutal maximum-security prison. But prison does not destroy him. Instead, Leo learns the real rules of power. Through patience, intelligence, and silent manipulation, he rises within the prison hierarchy, building alliances and controlling events from the shadows. Soon the inmates begin to whisper a new name for him—The Shadow. While the world believes he is finished, Leo is quietly preparing for his return. Because the man who stole his empire made one fatal mistake. He left Leo alive. And when Leo finally walks free, the Moretti empire will rise again—under his rule.

Lucas Vance built every brick of Vance Holdings with his own hands, keeping his real name and identity hidden beneath the title of a lowly senior acquisitions manager.

But they left one oversight: the controlling voting shares remain locked under his true legal identity. Armed with absolute ownership and an unforgiving plan, Lucas decides to dismantle his family's empire from the inside out, starting with the very signatures that signed his life away.
