Chapter 11 - the black envelope

Five peaceful, beautiful months had gracefully passed since the terrifying incident in the grand office. Elena and Mia were living safely in the master wing of the massive Moretti estate. Luca had kept his ironclad vow, surrounding them with absolute, impenetrable protection. Mia was thriving, her innocent laughter echoing through the pristine marble hallways, slowly melting the cold exterior of the ruthless mafia boss. But the criminal underworld never allows for permanent peace. One rainy afternoon, a heavy black envelope bypassed the estate's elite security screening and arrived directly on the mahogany dining table. It was addressed to Elena in silver ink. Luca’s dark eyes narrowed to ice as he intercepted the letter before she could see it. Inside was a single, faded silver ring that had belonged to his murdered brother, Matteo. The agonizing nightmare wasn't over. Someone from the dark shadows was watching them, and they were sending a highly personal, lethal threat straight into the heart of his sanctuary.
