Chapter 1 The Assassination
The night was thick with tension as Alessia Romano stood on the balcony of her family's opulent mansion, overlooking the twinkling lights of New Verona. The air crackled with anticipation, a storm brewing on the horizon. Inside, her father, Don Romano, held court with his trusted advisors, discussing the latest developments in their ongoing feud with the rival Vendetta family. Alessia's stomach churned with worry as she watched the shadows dance across the walls, knowing that danger lurked in every corner of their gilded fortress.
Suddenly, the tranquility of the night shattered as the sound of gunfire echoed through the mansion. Alessia's heart leaped into her throat as she raced downstairs, the taste of fear bitter on her tongue. In the grand hall, chaos reigned supreme. Bodies lay scattered across the marble floor, their lifeblood staining the pristine surface crimson. Alessia's father lay motionless at the center of the carnage, his once powerful frame now a mere shell of its former self. Alessia's breath caught in her throat as she knelt beside him, the weight of her grief crushing her chest like a vice. Tears blurred her vision as she cradled her father's lifeless form, her world crumbling around her. But even in her darkest hour, Alessia knew that she could not afford to mourn. With her father's death, she had become the de facto head of the Romano family, and it was up to her to exact vengeance upon those who had wronged them. With a steely resolve, Alessia rose to her feet, her eyes burning with determination. The Vendetta family would pay for what they had done, of that she was certain. And as the new dawn broke over the city, Alessia vowed to do whatever it took to ensure that justice was served.
