Isabella spent the rest of the day at the hospital, waiting for any news on her father's condition. The doctors had assured her that he was stable, but he had lost a lot of blood and would need surgery.As she sat in the waiting room, Isabella couldn't help but think about what had happened. She knew that her father's enemies were closing in on him, and she had to act fast to protect her family.She pulled out her phone and dialed a number she never thought she'd have to call - her estranged brother, Luca."Isabella?" Luca answered, surprise evident in his voice."Luca, it's Isabella," she said, her voice urgent. "You need to come home. Dad's been attacked.""What? Is he okay?" Luca asked."He's stable, but he's in the hospital," Isabella replied. "We don't know who did it, but we need to find out."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Isabella wondered if Luca was going to refuse her request."Okay," he finally said. "I'll be there as soon as I can."Isabel

The incident in the garden left everyone shaken. Luca doubled the security measures, but Isabella knew it wasn't enough. They needed to go on the offensive and find out who their enemy was. She couldn't bear the thought of living in fear for the rest of her life.Luca seemed to have the same idea. The next morning, he called a meeting with his top advisors. They sat in his study, sipping coffee as they discussed their options."We need to hit them where it hurts," Luca said. "We need to find out who's behind this and take them down.""But how do we do that?" one of his advisors asked. "We don't even know who we're up against."Luca leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "We start by putting pressure on the people we think are involved. We need to make them think we're onto them, make them slip up."Isabella listened intently, feeling a glimmer of hope. Maybe there was a way out of this after all.That night, they put their plan into action. Luca and his men made a surprise visit to one o

As they made their way out of the building, Isabella and Luca realized that they still had a lot of work to do. They had taken out one of the key players, but they knew that there were still others who posed a threat to their family's business."We need Dad back," Isabella said, her voice resolute. "He's the only one who can help us take care of these guys for good."Luca nodded in agreement. "But how are we going to get in touch with him? He's been in hiding for years. No one knows where he is."Isabella thought for a moment. Then, an idea struck her. "What about Uncle Tony?" she said. "He's still in contact with Dad. Maybe he can help us."Luca nodded. "It's worth a shot," he said. "Let's see if we can get in touch with him."They made their way back to their safe house, and Isabella got on the phone to call Uncle Tony. After a few tense moments, he answered."Isabella?" he said, surprise evident in his voice. "What's going on? I haven't heard from you in months."Isabella explained

(Sal's POV) Sal leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. The memories of his early days in the mafia were flooding back, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at how far he had come. He had been just a young man in his mid-twenties when he had taken over as the head of his family's organization. And he had fought tooth and nail to establish himself as the undisputed kingpin of the city.I remember those early days like they were yesterday. It wasn't easy, but nothing in life worth having ever is. I had to claw my way to the top, step by step, until I had earned the respect and fear of every man and woman in this city.
