HE WAS BOUND TO A WHEELCHAIR FOR 12 YEARS BY A DEADLY LIE. THEN HIS DAUGHTER TOUCHED HIS KNEE AND UNLOCKED A MAFIA WAR! / Chapter 6 / 20

Chapter 6 - THE NIGHT OF THE RED GLASS

The compound descended into utter chaos. Rain lashed against the high windows as gunfire erupted near the main gatehouse. Marcus’s mercenaries, armed with silenced automatic rifles, breached the outer perimeter, moving systematically toward the main house.

Arthur and three loyal guards took positions in the grand foyer, returning fire across the marble floor. Glass shattered, and ancient artwork was shredded by a hail of bullets.

"Get Elena and Maya to the panic room!" Luca commanded Arthur over the tactical radio.

"What about you, boss?" Arthur shouted back over the sound of gunfire.

"I'm done hiding in the dark," Luca said.

In the study, Luca stood up fully. His legs were weak, his balance uncertain, but rage gave him a terrifying strength. He opened the antique display case behind his desk, reaching past the old trophies to pull out a custom matte-black Colt .45—the weapon he hadn't fired since the day he was poisoned.

He racked the slide, chambering a round.

Down the hallway, two mercenaries moved cautiously toward the master wing. They expected to find a helpless invalid in a wheelchair.

As the first mercenary rounded the corner, Luca stepped out from the shadow of an archway. Standing tall, his eyes cold as ice, he fired twice. The shots were precise, striking the mercenary in the chest. Before the second man could raise his rifle, Luca pivoted, grabbed the barrel, twisted it downward, and drove his elbow hard into the man's jaw, sending him crashing to the floor.

Luca stood over the unconscious mercenary, breathing heavily. His legs held firm. The beast was fully awake.

The hangover hit Mateo like a freight train at sunrise. Sunlight filtered through the velvet curtains of the luxury hotel suite, burning his eyes. Beside him, Valeria was still asleep, smelling of cheap neon cocktails and expensive perfume. Mateo groaned, reaching for his phone on the nightstand.

He pressed his radio button. "Arthur, report."

"They've surrounded the east wing!" Arthur’s voice was panicked. "Marcus is here himself! Boss... he's got Maya!"

Isabella’s artificial tears gleamed under the soft golden chandeliers of the private VIP suite, her hands trembling with a performance worthy of a grand stage. She gestured wildly toward Khloe, who lay crumpled on the cold marble, her white silk dress torn and stained with drops of spilled champagne. Marcus stood frozen in the doorway,

The silver picture frame shattered into a hundred jagged pieces across the hardwood floor, but no one in the room moved to pick up the glass. Little Sophie’s trembling body pressed so hard against Mark’s chest that he could feel the frantic, rabbit-fast thumping of her tiny heart through his suit jacket. Her small fingernails dug into his collar, white-knuckled, tears streaking through the light dust on her cheeks.

The hospital room smelled sharply of bleach and antiseptic, a stark contrast to the suffocating scent of the white roses scattered across the linoleum floor. Flynn remained frozen beside the bed, his broad shoulders slumped, the formidable CEO of Vance Global reduced to a hollow, trembling shell.

Arthur Sterling tapped his leather-wrapped fingers against the steering wheel of his matte-black Bentley, staring at the imposing wrought-iron gates of his own estate. To the world, the Sterling name was synonymous with untouchable wealth, bleeding-edge tech investments, and a picture-perfect modern family. But as the automated gates slid open with a soft, expensive hum, Arthur didn't feel like a master of a universe; he felt like a stranger walking into a trap he had built with his own hands.

The wind on the balcony was sharp, carrying the bitter, fish-heavy tang of the Boston Harbor. It hit Dileia like a physical blow, cutting right through the thin polyester of her service uniform. She shivered, though she refused to wrap her arms around herself. Doing so would look like weakness, and tonight, weakness was a currency she couldn't afford to spend.

The midday heat of the Vulkoff estate did nothing to cool the chill that had settled into Alina’s chest. For two years, she had been a ghost in the machine—silent, compliant, invisible. But the casual strength of Damon Vulkoff’s grip on her wrist had broken the spell. That afternoon, scrubbing the heavy oak tables in the secondary pantry, her mind kept looping back to his office. He hadn't just saved his papers; he had felt her pulse. She knew he had. His fingers had lingered over her radial artery just long enough to register the frantic, terrified spike of her heartbeat.

Lena Marchetti did not sleep that night. By dawn, Dante Varlli's file lay surrounded by color-coded sticky notes, three potential candidate profiles, and a creeping sense of professional dread. Finding a wife for a man like Dante was not matchmaking; it was assembling a diplomatic hostage.
