Chapter Thirteen: The Don’s Decree

Book:The Heart Of A Mafia Published:2025-2-18

Luca and Sofia worked together, like a well-oiled machine, uncovering the secrets of Macro’s organization.
They discovered the alliances he was forming, the plans he was making to take down Don Giovanni and the other Mafia families.
They moved silently through the darkness, gathering intelligence and staying one step ahead of Macro’s henchmen.
But just as they were about to complete their mission, Sophia was shot on her leg, and the two of them were forced to flee.
Luca quickly took action, grabbing Sofia and carrying her towards the mansion as fast as he could.
She was bleeding profusely, and Luca feared for her life.
As they made their way back to the Don, Luca knew that time was running out.
Finally, they reached the mansion, and Don Giovanni was waiting for them.
His face was stern and serious, but Luca could see the concern in his eyes as he looked at Sofia.
“Bring her inside,” he said, his voice low and serious.
As Luca carried Sofia inside the mansion, Don Giovanni summoned his doctor.
The doctor quickly assessed Sofia’s injury and began to treat her, his hands moving with precision as he stitched up the wound.
Luca stood by, his eyes fixed on Sofia’s face, his heart racing with fear and concern.
As the doctor worked, Don Giovanni placed a hand on Luca’s shoulder.
“She will be okay,” he said, his voice low and serious. “You did well.”
Luca nodded, his eyes still fixed on Sofia.
As Sofia recovered from her injury, Luca stayed by her side, his eyes fixed on her face.
She was weak and pale, but the doctor assured them that she would make a full recovery.
Days passed, and Luca and Sofia continued their mission.
But one day, a mysterious package arrived at the mansion, addressed to Don Giovanni.
Don Giovanni eyed the package with suspicion, and he turned to the delivery man.
“Open it,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
The delivery man hesitated, his eyes wide with fear as he slowly unwrapped the package.
Inside was a broken bottle, with a message written on the side.
“This is from Don Salvatore,” the delivery man said, his voice shaking with fear.
Don Giovanni’s eyes narrowed as he considered the message.
“Tell me what you know,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
The delivery man stammered, his eyes wide with fear as he tried to explain.
“I don’t know anything,” he said, his voice shaking with fear. “I was just told to deliver the package.”
Don Giovanni’s expression hardened, his eyes flashing with anger.
“You are lying,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
The delivery man shook his head, his eyes fixed on the ground as he pleaded for his life.
“I swear, I know nothing,” he said, his voice pleading. “I was just doing as I was told.”q
But Don Giovanni was not convinced, his expression hard and cold as he considered the situation.
“You have failed me,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
“You have failed the family.”
The delivery man looked up, his eyes wide with fear as he saw the gun in Don Giovanni’s hand.
Don Giovanni’s finger tightened on the trigger, his eyes cold and deadly as he looked at the delivery man.
The delivery man begged for his life, pleading with Don Giovanni to spare him.
But Don Giovanni was not swayed.
“You have betrayed us,” he said, his voice hard and serious. “You have betrayed the family.”
And with that, he pulled the trigger, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the mansion.
The delivery man fell to the ground, his body still as Don Giovanni looked down at him with a cold and distant expression.
As the echoes of the gunshot faded, Don Giovanni turned away from the body, his expression cold and serious.
Luca and Sofia watched in silence, their eyes fixed on the Don as he considered the implications of the package.
“We must be prepared for an attack,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
“Macro and Don Salvatore are working together, and they will not hesitate to strike when they see an opportunity.”
Luca and Sofia nodded, their eyes filled with determination as they prepared to defend the family against the impending threat.
As Luca and Sofia prepared for the attack, they could feel the tension in the air, the sense of danger that hung over the mansion.
They knew that Macro and Don Salvatore were planning something, something that would challenge the power of Don Giovanni and his family.
As they waited, the sound of gunshots echoed through the streets, the sound of the Mafia war that was raging outside the walls of the mansion.
Luca and Sofia stood side by side, their weapons ready as they prepared to defend the family against the onslaught.
The gunshots grew louder, the sound of gunfire echoing through the streets as the battle raged.
Luca and Sofia stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the door as they waited for the enemy to arrive.
But the attack came not from the streets, but from within the mansion itself, as a group of masked men burst through the doors, their weapons drawn and their faces hidden.
Luca and Sofia reacted quickly, firing their weapons and taking cover as the bullets flew around them.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the mansion as Luca and Sofia fought off the masked men.
They moved quickly and efficiently, taking out the attackers one by one as they defended the family against the onslaught.
But as the battle raged, a new threat emerged, as Don Salvatore himself stepped into the mansion, his face twisted with rage and vengeance.
“Giovanni!” he shouted, his voice ringing with anger. “Your time has come to an end!”
Don Giovanni emerged from his office, his expression grim and serious as he faced Don Salvatore.
“You dare to challenge me?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous.
“You dare to invade my home and threaten my family?”
Salvatore smiled, his eyes flashing with madness as he laughed.
“You are weak, Giovanni,” he said, his voice full of hatred. “You are old and weak, and your time is over.”
As the two men faced off, the sound of gunfire continued to echo through the mansion, the battle raging around them.
Don Giovanni and Salvatore fought with fierce intensity, their movements quick and deadly as they battled for dominance.
But in the end, Don Giovanni proved to be the stronger, his skills and experience trumping Salvatore’s rage and madness.
With a final blow, Don Giovanni struck Salvatore, leaving him injured and bloody on the floor.
The other masked men had been defeated, and Luca and Sofia stood over them, their weapons ready.
As the smoke cleared, Don Giovanni looked around, his face hard and serious as he surveyed the damage that had been done to his home.
As Don Giovanni stood in the wreckage of his mansion, he was faced with the reality of what had happened.
He turned to Luca and Sofia, his eyes hard and serious.
“We must prepare for what is to come,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “We must be ready for anything.”
Don Giovanni ordered his men to carry Salvatore outside, where he left him to bleed in the street, a warning to the other Mafias who might challenge his power.
As the other Mafias gathered, they watched in silence as Don Giovanni addressed them, his voice low and serious.
“Luca and Sofia have proven themselves to be loyal and brave,” he said, his eyes fixed on the two of them.
“They have risked their lives to protect our family, and for that, they deserve to be rewarded.”
As Don Giovanni spoke, Luca and Sofia stood tall, their eyes fixed on the Don as he spoke.
“From this day forward,” he continued, his voice ringing with authority, “Luca will be my second-in-command, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of our family.”
Luca nodded, his face set with determination as he accepted his new role.
“And Sofia,” Don Giovanni continued, turning his attention to the woman at his side, “you have proven yourself to be a valuable asset to our family.
“From this day forward, you will be our chief intelligence officer, responsible for gathering information on our enemies and identifying potential threats.”
Sofia nodded, her face serious and determined as she accepted her new role.
As the Mafias looked on, they knew that the Don’s decision was final, and that Luca and Sofia were now among the most powerful members of the family.
