Chapter 1 The Fallen Don

The night hung heavy over the city, its streets cloaked in a thick shroud of darkness. Detective Marco Rossi stood at the edge of the crime scene, the flashing lights of police cars casting an eerie glow on the surrounding buildings. The smell of stale cigarettes and gasoline lingered in the air, mingling with the metallic tang of blood.

Rossi pulled his coat tighter around him, the chill of the night seeping into his bones. He surveyed the scene before him, taking in the chaos that had unfolded in the heart of the city's underworld. The body of Giovanni Moretti, the notorious Don of the Moretti crime family, lay sprawled on the pavement, a pool of crimson spreading beneath him.

As Rossi approached, he could see the fear etched on the faces of the bystanders, their whispers hushed as they watched the detectives work. He knew that Moretti's death would send shockwaves through the criminal underworld, setting off a chain reaction of violence and retribution.

Rossi knelt beside the body, his gloved hand reaching out to touch the cold, lifeless flesh. He searched for any sign of the killer, his trained eye picking up on the subtle details that others might overlook. But the streets remained silent, the only sound the distant wail of sirens.

As Rossi rose to his feet, he felt a weight settle in the pit of his stomach.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"
