Chapter 10 - The Unbreakable Family
In the months that followed, Russo and the abusive woman were sentenced to thirty years in a maximum-security federal penitentiary, completely stripped of their illegal wealth and abandoned by the underworld. The other four children were safely relocated to top-tier foster homes, their medical and educational needs entirely, secretly funded by Vincent’s massive holding company.
Vincent didn't send Lily away.
He finalized a massive, ironclad legal adoption, bringing the brave little girl officially into his family.
A year later, the quiet park near the edge of the pond was painted in bright, beautiful spring colors.
Vincent sat on the wooden bench, radiating absolute health, power, and undeniable peace.
He watched as Ames, laughing loudly and brightly, chased Lily across the grass. Lily wasn't barefoot, and she wasn't wearing a dirty, torn dress. She wore a beautiful, flawless floral dress and brand new shoes, her face glowing with pure, unadulterated joy.

Vincent smiled, his heart swelling with an overwhelming, unshakeable peace. The nightmare was completely over, proving that true power isn't found in ruling a criminal empire—it is found in the laughter of a child, and having the courage to protect the ones who bring light back into the dark.
Do you think handing Russo over to the FBI was enough justice, or did the cruel trafficker deserve a harsher punishment directly from the mafia boss?
