Chapter 1 - The Gasping Heirs

Complete, unfiltered chaos erupted inside the high-end luxury private dining room in Chicago. The towering crystal chandeliers shook as panicked, wealthy guests scrambled over velvet chairs, desperately trying to escape the horrifying scene unfolding at the center table. The warm, ambient lighting of the restaurant cast long, terrifying shadows over the beautiful pink floral centerpieces that had just been knocked to the floor.
At the center of the madness stood Damien Moretti.
The tall, heavily muscular man in his thirties was the undisputed king of the Chicago underworld. His unbuttoned light beige shirt exposed heavy, intricate neck and chest tattoos, marking him as a man of lethal violence. But right now, the ruthless mafia boss was completely paralyzed by absolute terror.
He was clutching his two infant sons against his broad chest. The identical twins, dressed in soft cream-colored onesies, were violently seizing. Their tiny chests heaved with desperate, rattling gasps. Their lips were rapidly turning a terrifying shade of blue.
Damien’s elite, heavily armed guards instantly formed a tight circle around him, drawing their weapons in sheer panic, completely unsure of who to shoot.
Suddenly, a young woman in a pink retro-style waitress uniform violently shoved her way through the screaming crowd of billionaires.
