As the day of her father's funeral dawned, Abby felt a mix of emotions churning inside her. The weight of public scrutiny bore down on her, knowing that all eyes would be on her as she made her first public appearance since her father's tragic death. The media had dubbed her the "infamous flower," poised to take over the Falcone empire, and the pressure was almost suffocating.
Remo stood by her side, offering a reassuring squeeze of her hand to calm her nerves. They had made the difficult decision not to attend the funeral together, opting instead to keep their relationship hidden from the prying eyes of the public for the time being. Abby would be accompanied by the female bodyguard Remo had provided, disguising herself as her friend to maintain her anonymity along with others.
