DAMIANO’S POV
I walk down the stairs, head held high, arrogance in my walk. My authority shining through. This gala will decide who is my ally and who isn’t. This gala is also going to be a graveyard for Vittoria, Selena and Antonov. Nikolai needs to understand his place. This is my fucking territory and I’ll be damned if I let him have it.
This is war. And he will get what is coming his way. Nikolai always thought he had some right to my success. Ever since we were children, Igor always sided with him, his one true blood heir. The one he wanted to see seated at my place in Italy. I'll be damned before that happens. This is my birthright, my kingdom, my life, my one and only family.
Nikolai will die before he will ever be able to take my homeland from me. And the same will happen to every single one of these fuckers who side with the Russian asshole. And the same I will do to Igor, that cunt!
