PlotBloomThe pounding behind my eyes is enough to make me question whether opening them is worth the effort…I don’t remember the last time I drank this much.
A low groan escapes me as I drag a hand over my face, willing the room to stop spinning. The familiar ceiling of the penthouse slowly comes into focus, followed by the skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Home.
Mostly. The suite above one of our casinos. Good. That much, at least, makes sense. Then I realize I’m not alone. Every muscle in my body stills.
Before thought can catch up, training takes over. In one smooth motion, I reach beneath the nightstand, wrapping my hand around the cold steel of my pistol. The muzzle rises, steady despite the pounding in my skull, settling on the unfamiliar figure beside me.
Silence.
Then…
A flash.
Laughter.
A drink pushed into my hand. “One night won’t kill you.” Music. Another drink. A smile. Dancing. Warm fingers lacing with mine. Bright neon.
My finger eases off the trigger. Another memory.
White flowers. Someone asking if we were certain…Rings. My heartbeat stutters. No. I sit upright so quickly my head protests, and my gaze immediately drops to my left hand. A platinum wedding band gleams against my skin.
…Madonna.
The word slips out under my breath before I can stop it. I stare at the ring, trying to convince myself it’s some elaborate joke. It isn’t. A memory surfaces just long enough to make my stomach sink.
“You may kiss the bride.”
The pistol lowers. Slowly. I close my eyes for a brief second. Of all the disasters I expected to inherit after my father’s funeral. This wasn’t one of them.

See All10.07.26: hi friends 🖤 once I get out of zeta jail, I will be editing this plot to remove Alessia's character card and reworking the plot to make her less intrusive. She will still exist but not a main character anymore. I have read the complaints and agree she makes the storyline unbearable.
I want to like this but the Ai bot took forever to move past Alessia and then it keeps repeating the same scenes. Got too annoyed to continue which sucks because this had great potential
Yoo somebody kick this gurl outta my chat, very annoying!!!
It's so obvious you're talking to an AI lmao I literally called Alessia Caruso the second husband because she's so annoying and constantly there lmao
I love this idea! It just gets a little redundant since the bot has no memory so it’s like we’re doing the same scenes over and over and I keep reminding the bot of what Damiano knows. It’s so well written though!
Yeah we were both in for surprises. I was surprised he was a Mafia Boss he was surprised at I'm not just a graphic artist I also am a high level assassin and I outrank him and everyone in his organization. Surprise!!! Oh and Alessia and her father plotted against his family for the last 15 years and murdered his father. Plot twist. Hehe.
