The room fell silent at Vanekan’s claim to be the interim Don, while Vincenzo was in the hospital."Uncle, this isn't the time for power grabs. We need to focus on Vincenzo's recovery," Luna said.Vanekan's expression hardened. "And while we wait, our enemies will strike. We can't afford to be leaderless."Max stepped forward, supporting Vanekan's claim. "He's right. We need someone to take charge, if only temporarily."Marco, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "But what about the rest of us? We should decide this together, not just hand over power."Enzo, standing near the doorway, nodded in agreement. "Marco’s right. This is a decision for the entire family."Vanekan's eyes flicked to Max, who gave a subtle nod of encouragement. "I'm not suggesting a coup. Just... a temporary measure. Until Vincenzo is back on his feet."Luna sighed, rubbing her temples. "Alright. Let's discuss this rationally. We need to ensure the family remains united."Luna took a deep breath, trying to cal

The Griffo mansion buzzed with tension as the capos made their way to the grand meeting room. Each carried the weight of their respective domains, and their conversations were sharp with underlying rivalries. The Griffo mafia family Capos are CEOs who manage different companies and organizations owned by the Griffo family. The Two biggest companies are multibillion-dollar companies Vittorio's CyberTech Solutions and Romano Pharmaceuticals. Both of which are legal companies the public knows about. The other four companies are illegal companies trading in illegal goods and services. Vittorio Russo is the CEO and Capo of Vittorio's CyberTech Solutions, which is a façade for the Griffo family's cybercrime activities. Giovanni "Gio" Romano, is the face of the Griffo family's legitimate enterprise, Romano Pharmaceuticals, which in turn they use as a front to sell illegal drugs. Isabella "Bella" Marino is the CEO and Capo of the escort service, which is used as the best cover for their bl

The tension in the private dining room was palpable as the capos digested the information Enzo had presented. The evidence against Vanekan weighed heavily on everyone’s mind, the gravity of the situation sinking in.Before anyone could speak further, the door swung open with a bang. Max strode in, his face set in a determined expression.“What’s going on here?” Max demanded, looking around the room.Enzo stepped forward, he was surprised by how Max found out about the meeting, his voice firm. “We’re discussing some serious allegations against Vanekan, Max. Luca brought evidence last night that—”Max interrupted, his voice rising. “Luca? That traitor? You’re listening to him? He’s been out of the loop for years, Enzo. He’s probably working with our enemies!”Vittorio tried to calm the situation. “Max, we need to consider all possibilities. This evidence is substantial.”Max’s eyes flashed with anger. “Substantial? It’s fabricated! Uncle, Vanekan is the only one capable of leading us th

The Griffo family mansion was filled with an oppressive silence as the elders, distant relatives, and capos took their seats. The air was thick with anticipation, every eye turned towards the front of the room where Vanekan stood, basking in the attention. But in the shadows, an unexpected alliance was forming.Enzo approached Marco in a quiet corner of the mansion. "Marco, we need to talk."Marco looked up, "Enzo, what is it? You look tense."Enzo glanced around to ensure they weren't overheard. "We can't just dismiss the evidence against Uncle, Vanekan. I know he is playing us all. We need to expose him."Marco's eyes narrowed. "What do you want me to do Enzo? Do you think this will convince the elders?""Financial records, testimonies, everything," Enzo whispered urgently. "Of course they will. But I can't do it alone. I need your support."Marco hesitated, his mind racing. "Are you sure about this, Enzo?""Yes I'm sure and you know I'm right. Because you know something’s off with

Rain spun around, her heart pounding. Marco stood there, his expression unreadable."Marco," she stammered, "I was just... looking for something to eat."Marco raised an eyebrow, a sly smile creeping onto his face. "At this hour? Interesting choice."Rain forced a laugh. "I couldn't sleep. and I thought I would give Vincenzo some room to rest.”He stepped closer, his eyes scanning her face. "You look tense. Everything alright with you?""Just... everything that's happening with the family. It’s a lot to take in," she said, hoping to deflect his attention.Marco nodded, his gaze lingering. "I understand. It's been a rough time for all of us. But I want you to know, Rain, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here."Rain shifted uncomfortably. "Thanks, Marco. I appreciate it."He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a murmur. "You know, I've always admired your strength. And your beauty."Rain's eyes widened, and she took a step back. "I... I should probably get some rest. Thank
