Chapter 3

Sicilia es la isla más grande de Italia, separada del continente por el estrecho de Messina y bañada por el Mar Jónico, el mar Tirreno y el Mediterráneo.

Es una de las joyas del sur de Italia, que se puede descubrir, conocer y vivir a través de una serie de rutas, dependiendo de los gustos y necesidades, se pueden desarrollar a través de la naturaleza, la historia o la tradición.

La naturaleza parece haber destinado a esta tierra todas sus maravillas: montañas, colinas y, especialmente, el mar, En esta tierra, el Mediterráneo ofrece escenarios, olores y sabores únicos e intensos.

Pero además de poseer toda esta belleza, guarda un secreto mayor, en algún lugar de sus territorio, la familia Santoro ha sabido manejar todos sus negocios y pasar desapercibidos, o por lo menos el jefe de la mafia así lo hizo, Alessandro Santoro quienes muchos conocen por el apodo de l’ombra o la sombra en castellano, lleva una vida intachable para muchos, bajo la fachada de respetado empresario, el hombre de 30 años logro llevar el negocio familiar a su más alto alcance, mientras que para la sociedad en general, solo es un viudo amable, rico, respetado, que cría a su hija Estefanía de 7 años y quien se hizo cargo de terminar de criar a su hermano menor Luis cuando sus padres murieron, si, para todo el mundo Alessandro Santoro es un buen hombre, pero sus más allegados saben realmente quien es realmente.

Alessandro Santoro se ganó su apodo a pulso, ninguno de sus enemigos conoce su rostro, y quienes lo han visto han muerto, algo que aprendió de su padre, su identidad es lo más valioso a guardar y proteger, es lo único que garantizara que sus hijos vivan tanto como para tomar su lugar en la mafia y que sus hijas puedan hacer una vida normal lejos de todo ese ambiente, el único rostro visible que tiene su organización es su mano derecha, Fabrizzio, quien fue detenido hace dos meses gracias a la intervención de Eros Zabet, actual esposo de Lucero Bach, algo que lo tiene de muy mal humor, sabe que si quiere seguir llevando una vida más o menos normal, tiene que liberar a Fabrizzio y lo hará, cueste lo que cueste, le pese a quien le pese.

— Alessandro, esta es toda la información que pudimos recaudar en estos dos meses.

Uno de sus hombres de confianza dejo una serie de carpetas sobre su escritorio de madera de roble, llamando la atención del hombre caucásico de estatura media alta y cabello negro. Alessandro dejo de ver por la ventana como su pequeña hija jugaba en el jardín, para clavar sus ojos marrones con motas negras en su empleado.

— Ahórrame el trabajo de leer toda esa mierda y dime a quien debemos matar para que Eros liberé a Fabrizzio. — Su voz fría denotaba cansancio, luego de pasar una noche torturando a un infiltrado para finalmente matarlo, no estaba de humor para lidiar con cosas como esas.

— Su mujer y su hijo son intocables, atacar a un Bach no solo es una misión suicida, es algo realmente imposible, por lo que investigamos a sus padres y hermanos.

— Te noto inquieto y me están inquietando y sabes mejor que nadie que eso no es bueno. — el jefe miro a su empleado como si estuviera decidiendo si matarlo o no.

— No me gustaría inquietarlo jefe, pero luego de investigar descubrimos que Eros Zabet es sobrino del Ángel de la muerte. — el joven tenía gotas de sudor en la frente, mientras rezaba porque la pequeña Estefanía se le ocurriera visitar a su padre en el despacho, solo así saldría vivo.

— Y yo soy la sombra, ¿acaso crees que alguien podría conmigo? — el golpe que le dio al escritorio le dejo claro su falta, por lo que bajo la cabeza de inmediato.

— No, por supuesto que no, solo… tendremos demasiadas perdidas si atacamos el hogar de los Zabet, sus hermanos están en diferentes universidades, pero atacarlos seria iniciar una guerra con otras organizaciones, el ángel de la muerte pidió a distintas organizaciones que los protegieran, están en Canadá, China, Rusia y la única que está a nuestro alcance es Ámbar que está en España, pero está viviendo en el mismo edificio que los mellizos Constantini Zabrek.

— ¿Los nietos de Marco Constantini? ¿Qué hacen dos niños de 12 años en España?

— Están de vacaciones y si atacamos ese lugar no solo Marco podría creer que es un atentado a ellos, también Noha Zabrek vendría por nosotros, ya sabe que acabo con los Rizzo solo por amenazar a su esposa.

— Entiendo y tienes razón, Noha no es muy compasivo, menos cuando se trata de su familia, además tenemos varios negocios con él. — el dolor de cabeza aparecía una vez más en Alessandro, mientras tomaba las carpetas y le daba una ojeada, debía encontrar algo, alguien importante para quitarle, una lección para que nunca olvide que con LA SOMBRA no debía meterse, ni él ni nadie...

— Zafiro esta con Neri, tampoco nos sirve. ¿Y esto? Aquí dice que tiene hermanos quintillizos, ¿porque solo hay información de cuatro en las universidades?

— Victoria es ciega, ella no sale de su mansión, por lo menos no la hace seguido, ni siquiera pudimos obtener una fotografía de ella.

— ¡MALDICION! — Renzo se veía muerto de un momento al otro, por lo que se apresuró a hablar.

— Pero podemos ir por la adoptada, Rosita, ella está trabajando en la empresa de Vincent Bach, vive en un departamento sin seguridad.

— No le afectara la muerte de una joven que no lleva su sangre. — Alessandro miro por un momento su arma, mientras pensaba donde estaba su hija y si escucharía cuando le volara la cabeza a su empleado.

— Tengo entendido que la aprecian, quizás si la secuestramos podamos conseguir resultados rápidos, si el la ve sufrir, si oye sus gritos, estoy seguro que sedera.

La mente del mafioso comenzó a trabajar, trazando un plan de torturas al que estaba más que seguro Eros sedería a lo que él le pidiera y por fin después de dos meses, Alessandro sonrió.

— Prepara todo, tendremos una invitada, pero no será la adoptada, quiero a la ciega.

— Pero Alessandro… — Renzo dejo de hablar cuando el mafioso dejo su arma arriba del escritorio.

— No me importa cuánto tengan que esperar, en algún momento saldrá y será ahí cuando actúen, la traerán directamente aquí.

— ¡A la finca!

— Si, estará en esta casa, nadie sabe quién soy y nadie nunca lo sabrá, si ella es ciega jamás vera mi rostro.

— Creo que es mejor llevarla a la otra residencia.

— Así atraparon a Fabrizzio ¿Quién dice que no tengan todas las direcciones de nuestros lugares? Solo esta casa es segura. Ahora escucha bien lo que te diré, esperaremos un poco más, si en un tiempo ella no sale, la obligaremos a hacerlo.

— Pero ¿cómo?

— Un incendio, un terremoto lo que sea, ¡pero tienes dos meses máximo para traerla!

— Lo entiendo.

— Eso espero.

— Papy. — La voz de su hija lo alerto de que debía cambiar su expresión, ella jamás debía sabe quién era él y mucho menos lo que le hizo a su madre.

Escaping The Mafia Don's Golden Cage Novel Cover

I stood over the fresh dirt of my four-year-old son's grave. My husband, the Don of the Stark family, didn't hold my hand for comfort. He only adjusted his cuffs and checked that the diamond necklace he forced on me looked good for the cameras. "Stop crying," he whispered into my hair. "You're making a scene." Two days later, I woke up to the sound of shattering glass in the nursery. A strange boy stood there, smiling over the broken remains of my son's favorite snow globe. "This is Cody," my mother-in-law said coldly. "He's family. He stays." When I demanded he leave, Eli looked at me with dead eyes. "Material things can be replaced, Harper. The boy stays." Suspicion led me to the library door, where I heard the impossible truth. Cody wasn't a distant cousin. He was Eli's illegitimate son. And worse—while my son was drowning alone in the pool, Eli hadn't been at a business meeting. He had been in bed with his mistress. I realized then that the silver bracelet he had gifted me wasn't jewelry. I pried it open and found the blinking red light of a tracker. I was a prisoner in a cage of gold. So, I decided to die. I staged my suicide at the bridge, vanished into the night, and paid a shadow doctor to wipe my memories clean. I became Avery. I was happy. I was free. Until six months later, when a man in a black suit walked into my small-town cafe and looked at me with the eyes of a wolf. "Harper," he growled. "Come home."

The day my guardian, Dante Moretti, announced his engagement was the day I started planning my death. Not a literal one, but the death of the girl who had orbited his world for ten years. He was the Don of the Moretti family, the man I'd secretly loved since I was a child. But with his new fiancée, Sofia, on his arm, he began to erase me. He even forgot my severe allergy, gifting me a watch that would blister my skin. He had ripped apart the diary where I confessed my love for him. "I am your guardian," he'd spat. "Do not ever cross that line again." Yet one night, drunk and stumbling, he crashed his mouth onto mine, his hands roaming my body as he pushed me against the wall. He groaned, but the name that escaped his lips wasn't mine. "Sofia..." When I screamed my own name—Elara—he shoved me away in horror. He wasn't horrified by his betrayal, but by the fact that he'd kissed the wrong woman. That was the final straw. I took the acceptance letter to a university in Toronto that I had kept hidden like a prayer. I called my estranged father and booked a one-way ticket. This time, I would burn my old life to the ground and leave nothing but ashes behind.
He Chose The Mistress, I Took Everything Novel Cover

On the night of our fifth anniversary, I wasn't drinking champagne. I was standing in the shadows of my husband's study, clutching an encrypted drive I found taped behind our wedding photo. It contained the blueprints to a life Dante was building with another woman—Sofia Ricci, the daughter of our sworn enemy. He wasn't just cheating on me. He was using the Port Redevelopment project I had spent two years designing to launder the money he needed to run away with her. When I confronted him, Dante didn't beg for forgiveness. He looked at me with the cold indifference of a Capo and told me to fix my face for dinner. The humiliation didn't stop there. He forced me to share a car with his mistress while my ankle was swollen and throbbing from a fall. He fussed over Sofia’s "delicate" motion sickness while ignoring my pain completely. "Elena is sturdy," he dismissed. Sturdy. Like a mule. Like a table he owned. He even stripped me of my rank, handing my multi-million dollar operation to Sofia simply because she had a "vision" for glass walls. He thought I was just a compliant wife, a placeholder to keep his books clean while he played house with his true love. He forgot that while he was the muscle, I was the architect. So, at the Family Gala, wearing a backless revenge dress, I didn't just ask for a separation. I threw a glass of champagne in his face and announced to the entire underworld that the accounts were empty. I didn't just leave him. I took the encryption keys, the money, and his entire future with me.

My fiancé sent me a text ordering me to serve his mistress, unaware that the waitress holding the tray was actually the daughter of the man who owned his soul. I was working undercover at his club, playing the role of a poor nobody to test his character before our wedding. But tonight, the test ended in disaster. His mistress, Jaden, walked in and treated me like dirt. When I brought her drink, she slapped the tray, spilling scalding coffee all over my hand. The pain was white-hot. My skin blistered instantly, peeling away in angry red patches. I showed Connor the injury on a video call, expecting protection. Expecting him to be a man. Instead, he looked at my burned hand and then at his investors. Panic filled his eyes. "Fix it, Blake," he roared. "Apologize to her." "She burned me," I said quietly. "I don't care! Kneel if you have to. Kiss her ring. Just make her happy so I can finish this deal!" He told the Principessa of the Shaw crime family to kneel to a woman who meant nothing. He sacrificed his future wife to save face. Something inside me snapped. It wasn't my heart; it was the leash I had placed on myself. "Okay," I whispered. I hung up the phone and dropped it into a pot of boiling pasta water. Then I turned to the Executive Chef, a former hitman who recognized the lethal shift in my eyes. "Lock the doors," I ordered. "And tell my father I'm ready to burn this place to the ground."
Reborn: The Mafia Heiress They Abandoned Novel Cover

In my past life, the bullet chambered in the gun on the desk was less lethal than the indifference of the two men standing beside me. Dante and Matteo were supposed to be the future kings of Chicago, and I was their queen. But they threw it all away for Sofia—a liar with a pretty face and a fake sob story about a gambling father. They forced me into a gilded cage, making me serve Sofia like a maid while they played her saviors. They let me rot in isolation until I swallowed a bottle of pills just to escape the coldness of their neglect. They didn't even mourn me; they were too busy comforting the girl who would eventually destroy them. I died realizing that my loyalty was my fatal flaw. I had worshipped men who saw me as nothing more than an accessory, while they sacrificed their empire for a woman who played them for fools. But the universe has a sick sense of humor. It sent me back. Back to the day that sealed my fate. The Consigliere pushed the assignment papers toward us—the path to becoming Bosses. "We are not going," Dante said, looking at me with cold eyes. "Sofia needs us. She is fragile." In my past life, I begged them to stay. This time, I stepped forward and picked up the pen. "I will go," I said, signing my name in sharp black ink. "I don't need your protection anymore."
