Chapter 56

Dimitri's POV

The night was suffocatingly still, a rare silence that carried an ominous weight. The only sounds were the crunch of boots against gravel and the rhythmic breathing of those who walked beside me. I kept my eyes locked on Zahra, who led the way with unwavering determination. Despite everything—the bloodshed, the betrayals, the cost—she was still standing. And now, she was going to unlock the one thing that could change everything: the Venom.

We had come too far to fail now.

Dominic's sacrifice was still fresh in my mind. His last words to Zahra echoed in my ears, a reminder that there was no turning back. We were in the heart of enemy territory, standing before the entrance to the hidden chamber that held the Venom—a weapon of power so immense that entire Mafia empires had crumbled trying to obtain it.
