Chapter 10 - The Enemy Who Had Been Watching Us for Thirty YearsThe man was called Vincent Caruso.
He had never appeared in official records.
He operated from behind governments, corporations, and criminal organizations.
Bellini had worked for him.
My father had refused to work for him.
The attack on our family had been ordered by Caruso.
I finally understood.
Bellini wasn't the mastermind.
He was a servant.
Caruso wanted the Romano inheritance.
But more than that, he wanted revenge.
My father had humiliated him thirty years ago.
Now he wanted to destroy every surviving Romano.
Caruso kidnapped Maria.
I received the call at midnight.
“Come alone.”
I refused.
“Then she dies.”
I gathered my people.
We found the location.
A shipping terminal.
I entered through the front.
Caruso expected me.
He held Maria at gunpoint.
“You look like your father.”
“I've heard that.”
“He was weak.”
“No.”
“He chose family over power.”
“That's strength.”
Caruso laughed.
Then Lily appeared behind him.
She had followed us.
“Lily!”
She looked at me.
“I knew you'd come.”
Caruso turned.
That distraction saved Maria.
She struck him.
I tackled him.
The police arrived seconds later.
Caruso was arrested.
For the first time in thirty years, the war was over.
Or so I thought.

Because Caruso smiled as he was taken away.
“You'll discover the truth soon.”
