COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 109: A Costly Confrontation
In the sterile, white-walled hospital room, the atmosphere was thick with anxiety. The constant beeping of monitors in the hospital room filled the silence as Luna sat beside Vincenzo's bed, clutching his hand. His face was pale, his breaths shallow. Vanekan stood near the doorway, his expression carefully composed."Luna, you should take a break," Vanekan suggested, his voice gentle. "You haven't left his side for hours.""I can't," Luna replied, her voice strained. "I need to be here when he wakes up."Vanekan nodded, stepping closer. "I understand. But you need to take care of yourself too."Before Luna could respond, the door swung open and Rain entered, her face a mask of determination. She glanced at Vincenzo, then at Luna and Vanekan."How is he?" Rain asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Stable, for now," Luna replied, her eyes never leaving Vincenzo's face. "But it's still critical."Rain took a deep breath, her mind racing. She needed to follow her brother's orders, but
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 110: The Chase Scene
Enzo and Nathan dragged Kill Shot through the courtyard, their grip firm but their minds racing. They needed answers, but more importantly, they needed to ensure Kill Shot didn't escape."Keep an eye on him," Enzo instructed Nathan, his voice low and urgent as he took Ferdinand's phone out of his coat pocket. There was only one number on the phone, with the name contractor. Enzo continues "We can't let him slip away ."Nathan nodded, his eyes never leaving their captive. Kill Shot's expression was one of grim determination, even as he stumbled along with his hands bound.As they approached the manor, Ferdinand's phone buzzed. Enzo glanced at the screen and saw a message from an unknown number: "Ross is on his way. Get ready."Enzo's heart skipped a beat. Ross was one of their most trusted men and an influential contractor, but if he was involved in this..."Something's not right," Enzo said, his voice tense. "We need to move faster."Suddenly, Kill Shot, lunged, using his bound hands
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 111: The Family Flaws
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
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 112: The Fallout Session
The city was abuzz with the startling update: the fresh leader of the Griffo clan had been gunned down at the September 10th Ball, the annual highlight. People murmured on the streets, in cafes, and in bars, gossiping about the condition of the two influential families, both still reeling from recent murders. Luna exited the black car parked outside Nathan's secure residence and walked into the safe house with deliberate and purposeful steps. Nathan was in a chair in a dimly lit room, with only a single bulb casting a harsh light. He gazed upwards, his eyes widening as Luna walked in, holding a gun. "Luna, please—" Nathan began, his voice trembling."Shut up," Luna snapped, pointing the gun directly at his head. "I'm done with your lies. It's time for the truth."Nathan's breath hitched. "I-I told you, I don't know anything more!"Luna's eyes blazed with fury. "You expect me to believe that? After Vincenzo was shot? You think I'm that stupid?"Nathan swallowed hard, his mind racing.
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 113: The Buzed
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
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 114: The Strange Vistor
In another part of the mansion, Isabella sat in her private study, her phone in hand. She dialed a number and waited. While Vanekan was yet to officially the interim don, until he was officially accepted by all members of the Griffo mafia family including the elders."Hello?" A voice answered on the other end.Isabella quickly responded "It's Isabella. We need to talk. Things are shifting in the family, and we need to ensure our interests are protected."The voice on the other end was calm. "Understood. I'll arrange a meeting. We need to discuss our next moves."Isabella hung up, her mind already racing with strategies. She knew the coming days would be crucial. Every move had to be precise, and every decision calculated.The next morning, the capos assembled once again in the mansion, this time in a more informal setting. The tension had not dissipated; if anything, it had grown thicker.Vanekan stood at the center, addressing them. "We have a lot to cover. First, we need to ensure a
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 115: The Clash of Evil
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
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 116: Powers
A day before the critical meeting where the capos and Griffo family elders would decide on Vanekan's request to become the interim Don, the tension in the Griffo compound was almost unbearable. Luna and Rain visited Vincenzo at the hospital. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the room as they entered, the steady beeping of the heart monitor the only sound.Rain placed flowers beside Vincenzo's bed, her eyes softening as she looked at him. "He looks so peaceful, doesn’t he?"Luna nodded her thoughts elsewhere. "Yeah, it's strange seeing him like this."Rain glanced at Luna. "How’s your plan with Nathan going?"Luna hesitated. "It's... complicated. It’ll take some time."Rain raised an eyebrow. "Complicated? You and Nathan... anything happens?"Luna's face flushed. "No, nothing like that. Just trying to get close enough to get information."Rain watched her closely. "You sure? You look... different."Luna avoided her gaze. "I’m sure."As Rain placed another flower, she found hersel

Chapter 172: Denouement
Covenants of Chaos: DenouementThe ruins of the Moretti estate still smoldered in the pale light of dawn. The air, thick with ash and the acrid stench of burning wood, carried the weight of a battle won, but at immeasurable cost. Lucas Kane stood amidst the rubble, his shoulders slumped, his breathing heavy. Beside him, Aria Moretti stared into the horizon, her expression unreadable.“You’re quiet,” Lucas said, breaking the silence. His voice was low, hesitant, as though afraid to shatter the fragile moment.Aria didn’t look at him. “What’s there to say?” Her tone was curt, but not sharp. “It’s over.”Lucas shifted, kicking a charred piece of debris with the toe of his boot. “Is it?” He gestured toward the ruins. “This… all of this didn’t just vanish because Silas is gone. The people he hurt, the lives he ruined—none of that disappears.”Aria finally turned to face him, her eyes glassy but resolute. “And what do you want me to do about it? Apologize for him? For what he did?” Her voic
Church 171: Covenants of Chaos
The storm roared over the Moretti property, thunder booming like artillery. Beneath the earth, the cavern shimmered with a foreboding, throbbing glow, archaic markings etched into the rocky ground creating sharp silhouettes. Lucas Kane knelt, his hands tied, as Silas Moretti's stare pressed heavily upon him."You seem let down," Silas remarked, walking back and forth in front of Lucas. The voice of the mafia boss was quiet and mocking. "Did you really believe you could simply enter my home, take what belongs to me, and walk away?" No, Lucas. This concludes here. "This evening, you'll truly grasp what genuine power resembles.""You don't need me for any of this," Lucas growled. He strained against the ropes binding him but didn't flinch. "Let my mother go. She's innocent." Silas laughed, cold and sharp. "Innocent? No one's innocent, Lucas. Least of all Evelyn Kane." He gestured to the corner of the chamber, where Lucas' mother sat slumped, her wrists chained to a metal loop in the wa
Chapter 170: The Offer
The Griffo mansion was quieter now, a deceptive calm settled over it. Vincenzo sat behind his desk, his mind occupied with the recent upheavals. The knock on the door broke his reverie.“Enter,” Vincenzo called, his voice steady.The door opened to reveal Sarai Min Jae, her expression resolute. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She had stayed at one of the safe houses they used to keep Nathan in when he was a captive. Her room was heavily monitored. In the office were Vincenzo, Enzo, and Marco who had his arm bandaged up from the gunshot wound.“Sarai,” he began, his voice soft but firm, “we need to talk.” Vincenzo gestured to the chair opposite him. “Sit. ”Marco stared at the 21-year-old girl who sat in front of the desk. She had nice black long hair, he fox eyes were an attractive feature Marco could not ignore. “I hope the safe house wasn’t too rough on you beautiful,” Marco said with a soft tone Sarai looked up at Marco and saw his nice smile. She quickly looked
Chapter 169: The Aftermath
The Griffo mansion bustled with activity. The aroma of antiseptics and the sound of groans filled the dense air. Marco was lying on an improvised medical table, his shirt drenched in blood. “Nurse!” Vincenzo barked, his voice echoing through the hall. “Get over here, now!”A middle-aged nurse hurried to Marco’s side, her hands steady despite the chaos around her. She carefully inspected Marco’s wound."This is going to hurt sir," she cautioned while getting her tools ready. Marco clenched his jaws. “Just do it.” The nurse nodded and quickly extracted the bullet from Marco's shoulder. He uttered a choked scream, his face twisted in agony. "Stay still," she advised while skillfully sewing up the wound. Vincenzo angrily and frustratingly paced nearby, his face a storm of emotion. He muttered to himself, “Dang it. How did they know we were coming.”Vanaken approached, his face pale. “Vincenzo, we need to talk.”Vincenzo stopped pacing and faced him. “What is it?”“The capos are argui

Kim’s office was dimly lit, the shadows playing across the walls as he waited. The silence was interrupted by a soft knock on the door.“Enter,” Kim called, his voice calm but authoritative.Nakamura stepped inside, his face a mask of professionalism. “You wanted to see me?”Kim gestured to the chair opposite his desk. “Sit. What’s the situation?”Nakamura sat, her eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned forward, his fingers steepled. “Max has informed me about a planned attack by the Griffo family on our organization. It’s set to happen tomorrow .”Kim’s eyes widened, but he quickly composed herself. “Do we know the details?”Nakamura nodded. “Max was able to get the specifics. They plan to hit our main warehouse and the casino simultaneously. They’re hoping to cripple us in one swift move. They are also planning to hit us here at the headquarters.”Kim lets out a low whistle. “Ambitious. But foolish. How reliable is Max’s intel?”“Not that reliable,” Nakamura replied. “But right now it
Chapter 167: A Night to Remember
The day leading to the attack on the Yakuza gang left the mansion in a rare moment of calm. The tension had given way to a fragile sense of peace. As night fell, Vincenzo found himself outside Rain's room, his mind swirling with thoughts of their recent trials and her unexpected loyalty.He knocked softly. "Rain, it's me."The door opened, and Rain stood there, her eyes meeting his. "Vincenzo. What’s up?""I thought we could talk," Vincenzo said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "And maybe have a drink."Rain's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "A drink, huh? Sounds like you have something more in mind.""Perhaps," Vincenzo replied with a wink. "Join me in the study?"Rain agreed by nodding and closing the door behind her while she walked behind him down the hallway. The research was cozy and welcoming, with a fire crackling in the fireplace. Vincenzo filled two wine glasses and passed one to Rain. "To survive another day," he toasted, raising his glass. As he was indicating the upcomi
Chapter 166: The Tides of Betrayal
Vincenzo strode into the dimly lit room, the tension palpable in the air. The Capos were already gathered, their faces a mix of anger and anticipation. Rain followed closely behind, her expression unreadable. Vincenzo returns from his trip with Rain and gathers with the Capos as they discuss plans to lead a reprisal attack on the perpetrators, the Yakuza gang."Alright, let's get to it," Vincenzo said, taking his place at the head of the table. "We've all heard what happened. The Yakuza hit us hard. And it by safe to say there have been how dangerous enemy for a long time. According to Nathan’s insider info they were behind Pedro’s child trafficking operation. There are also the benefactors of the Mexican gang. They are also responsible for Luna’s death. We need to strike back, and we need to do it now."Rick, one of the Capos, leaned forward. "We need to hit them where it hurts. Their operations in the docks are crucial. We take that out, we cripple them.""Agreed," another Capo, Ant
Chapter 165: An Unwelcome Reunion
The heavy oak door creaked open, echoing through the grand yet somber mansion. Kim stood at the threshold, his face a mask of controlled emotion. He watched as his mother-in-law, Mrs. Park, shuffled in, her frail form supported by a cane."Mother," he greeted tersely, stepping aside to let her in. Behind her, Sarai Min Jae followed, her eyes scanning the opulent interior with a mix of nostalgia and unease."Save your greetings for someone who cares Kim," Mrs. Park replied, her voice hoarse. "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for Sarai. The poor girl just wants to see her father."Sarai, now a striking 21-year-old woman, stood awkwardly, clutching her bag. "Dad," she said softly.Kim's eyes softened briefly. "Sarai. It's been too long." Kim steps close to her extending his arm with an invitation to hug. “Come, my dear.” He said as he hugged his daughter and she hugged him back. Sarai had been living with her grandmother for the last six years. Mrs Park had previously refused to let Sa
Chapter 164: Love and Lies
Vincenzo and Rain were getting ready to head off to a crucial appointment as the sun started to rise over the edges of Philadelphia. Vincenzo had to deal with the loss of the shipping company they made use of to transport their illegal merchandise. Thanks to the new mayor's alliance with Clayton the company was now in their control. He would have gladly rescheduled to have more time to mourn Luna’s death but he knew he had to deal with this before they lost even more control of the city. Rain had persistently pushed to go with him, gradually breaking through Vincenzo's initial hesitation. "Do you really want to go with me?" With raised eyebrows, Vincenzo inquired, mildly amused, as he observed Rain packing a small suitcase. “It mostly going to be boring business talks and exchanges.”Rain flashed him a confident smile. "Absolutely. Someone has to keep you out of trouble."Vincenzo chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm not the one who needs a babysitter." He said indicating to Rain herself
