Ciro Marchetti, an old friend and trusted associate, stumbled into the Forbidden Wing one night, drunk and careless. Dominic killed him where he stood. No warning. No explanation. Then he mobilized his soldiers and struck the Castellano territories so hard that entire city blocks burned and the rivers of their supply lines ran dry with blood.
To end the war, Don Enzo Castellano had no choice but to offer the most coveted woman in the underworld as a bride to the Valente Don: his only daughter, Seraphina Castellano.
Seraphina, emboldened by her status as Enzo Castellano's princess, answered to no one. She forced her way into the Forbidden Wing with her personal guard at her back:
"What filthy outsider dares hide in the Forbidden Wing? Spreading her legs for Valente soldiers and getting herself pregnant?"
"Today, I'll clean house for the Don myself!"
She ordered her guards to hack off my limbs. Then she tore open my belly with bare hands and ripped the child from my womb.
As I lay dying, Dominic arrived with the most powerful figures in the underworld to witness the birth of the Valente heir.
