Chapter 1

Dean

I hate when I kill someone and they don’t stay dead Bishop Blackstone was h him myself Sure, I didn’t see the body Maybe we couldn’t find him to make sure he was dead

But it happened a while ago My men and I were sure he was taken care of

I sla the news that Bishop Blackstone has resurfaced Toafter my clients

“Mr Maddox, he’s here,” e, says

I nod “I’ll be right there”

I’ forward to any of this I have to explain to the biggest and baddest er

I’ve been in this game a while Security to the most infamous crime outfit the world has ever seen

It was five years ago the ‘Il Ordine Pubblico’ treaty was signed between the Four Faether in peace It’s been five years of harmony and for the most part, lack of work, because when there’s peace, there’s no war And no one to keep safe But now all that has changed Now they have one of the uys after their power And what Bishop wants, Bishop usually gets So when the news cohter of the Four Families, I know I can’t sit idly by and watch

Bishop will take the daughters and they’ll never be heard froain

I know this

I can’t let this happen

He’s not planning on taking these girls to hold as ransoe He wants complete anarchy He wants to murder these women in cold blood, for all the fathers to watch He wants to prove once and for all he’s the baddest motherfucker around

Marge has already shown Georgio DeWinter intomy red power tie and cufflinks I throwspace

I step inside and Marge has the rooa caviar fro tray of Tuscan white truffles from his favorite little Italian restaurant in the city But he touches nothing

His stare isHe's a complete badass to anyone who crosses his path, and many never do

They know better
