Chapter 9 - The Mafia Boss Who Ruled Chicago Chose to Destroy His Own EmpireDante dismantled the criminal organization.
Piece by piece.
Businesses closed.
Illegal accounts froze.
Weapons were surrendered.
People were arrested.
The Moretti name stopped controlling Chicago.
Some people called him weak.
Others called him a traitor.
He didn't care.
He cared about Daniel.
He cared about me.
And he cared about building something better.
One evening, we stood on the balcony.
"You regret it?"
"No."
"Not the money?"
"No."
"The power?"
"No."
"What about the danger?"
"That I could live without."
I smiled.
He looked at me.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You've been doing that a lot."
"Doing what?"
"Looking at me."
He smiled.
"So have you."
I blushed.
He took my hand.
"I love you."
My heart stopped.
"Dante."
"I know."
"It's complicated."
"I know."
"My past."
"I know."
"Your family."
"I know."
"Daniel."
"He already likes you."
I laughed.
"I love you too."
He kissed me.
For a few seconds, the world disappeared.
Then a phone rang.
My mother's.
She answered.
Her expression changed.
"What?"
She hung up.
"Vale escaped."
Again.
But this time, he had taken someone else.
May you like
Sofia.
Dante's sister.
