Chapter 9 - The Deed Transfer

Within thirty minutes, two impeccably dressed mob lawyers arrived at the diner, carrying thick briefcases. They completely ignored the weeping, ruined Adrian on the floor.

They placed a stack of documents on the table in front of Teresa.

Luca sat down in the booth across from the elderly woman. His dangerous, commanding presence entirely softened. He gently slid a gold pen across the table to her.

"I am officially transferring the deed of this entire building, and the three commercial lots surrounding it, directly into your name, Teresa," Luca explained softly. "The property taxes have already been paid in full for the next fifty years out of my personal accounts. No one will ever threaten you again."

Teresa gasped, her shaking hands covering her mouth in absolute shock. "Mr. Luca... I can't accept this. It's too much."

"It's not enough," Luca corrected her gently, tapping the faded, yellowed note. "My father owed you his life. I owe you mine. This is your kingdom now."
