Chapter 4 - The Sealed Villa
Mrs. Bennett swallowed hard, her voice trembling. "It... it belonged to Emma’s biological mother, sir. She gave it to me before she passed away..."
In the background, the seated mafia family bosses exchanged panicked, confused glances.
Don Ricci, an elderly syndicate lord sitting near the grand fireplace, leaned forward, muttering under his breath. "Moretti, what is going on? Why are we stopping the council over a child's toy?"
Alessandro didn't answer Don Ricci. He stood up slowly, holding the blue wool rabbit in his hand like a sacred relic.
His dark eyes scanned the entire room, turning colder than winter steel.
CLANG!
Without warning, the massive iron double doors of Villa Moretti slammed shut with a deafening boom.
Dozens of heavy automatic rifles clicked in unison as Alessandro’s personal elite guards raised their weapons, surrounding every exit, every balcony, and every mafia lord in the hall.
The entire villa fell into a suffocating, deadly silence.
Alessandro stepped forward, his voice cutting through the room like an icy blade.
