The Hunt for the Intruder
The envelope had shattered whatever fragile trust remained between the Vescari Syndicate's members.
Luca "The Hammer" stormed out of the meeting room, his anger barely contained. "Find whoever put that letter there. Now!"
Andrew Golini and Manuel Orsolini rushed outside, scanning the dimly lit streets. The message had been delivered only moments ago—whoever left it couldn't have gone far.
Their search led them through the alleys of Volscara, questioning the local informants, but no one saw anything. The envelope had appeared like a ghost's whisper, left by someone who knew exactly how to move undetected.
Manuel, his face pale, muttered, "It wasn't one of us."
Andrew's hands clenched. "Then who the hell is playing this game?"
Luca returned, frustration carved into his expression. "We have a bigger problem. If someone outside the family knew Anton was a rat before we did…" He let the thought hang in the air.
Manuel finished it for him. "Then we're all exposed."
For the first time, the Vescari Syndicate was afraid.

Adrian Vescari Walks Free
Inside the Volscara Police Station, Sheriff Thomas Grayson sat at his desk, watching as Adrian Vescari's lawyer, Liana Italiano, filed the final paperwork.
Liana was as sharp as she was ruthless—the kind of lawyer who could make a murder charge disappear before lunch.
She straightened her blazer, then smirked at Grayson. "You have nothing to hold my client on. No witnesses. No evidence. No case."
Thomas leaned back in his chair. "I know exactly who he is."
Adrian Vescari, now freed from his cell, stepped closer. "And yet, here I am, Sheriff."
Grayson didn't blink. "You'll slip up. Men like you always do."
Adrian chuckled, straightening his cuffs. "Maybe. But not today."
As he walked past, he paused beside Grayson's chair and leaned in. "You'll regret this, Sheriff."
Grayson didn't react. "Get out of my station."
Adrian smirked. "Enjoy your peace while it lasts."
And with that, Adrian Vescari walked free.

Elias' New Life in the Syndicate
Elias had spent years looking over his shoulder, haunted by the past. But now, he wasn't running anymore.
Now, he was part of the Black Sun Syndicate.
And with that came a new life.
In the span of a week, he had met men and women who were as deadly as they were loyal to Dominic Graves. Among them:
Victor "The Vulture" Moreno – A calm, calculating enforcer, known for his methodical way of disposing of enemies.
Damian Voss – A former arms dealer, now responsible for supplying the syndicate's weapons.
Reina Castello – A master thief, known for her ability to get in and out of any building undetected.
Samuel "Sly" Vasquez – A con artist, specializing in deception, manipulation, and forgery.
Each of them had their own story, their own scars.
But one thing was clear—Dominic Graves had taken Elias in as one of his own.
For the first time in a long time, Elias felt accepted.

Dominic Graves and Elias – A Revelation
One evening, Elias found himself sitting across from Dominic Graves in his private office.
Graves poured himself a drink and motioned for Elias to ask what was on his mind.
Elias hesitated before speaking. "You told me once that you knew my father."
Graves took a sip of whiskey, then nodded. "I did. Peter was a good man."
Elias sat forward. "You trusted him?"
Graves smirked. "He helped me become the leader of the syndicate. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Elias' heart pounded. "Then why isn't he here now?"
Dominic's expression darkened. He set his glass down slowly. "Because Adrian Vescari killed him."
Elias felt the words hit him like a hammer.
"That's not possible," he muttered.
Graves leaned in. "It is. Your father was loyal, but Adrian saw him as a threat. So, he had him eliminated."
Elias' fingers clenched into fists. "Why are you telling me this now?"
Graves exhaled, a shadow passing over his face. "Because you deserve to know the truth. And because I want you to understand that this isn't just about you. This war started long before you ever stepped into it."
Elias sat back, his mind racing.
His entire life had been shaped by forces he never even knew existed.
And now, he had one more reason to hate Adrian Vescari.

The Message – A Warning or an Invitation?
Later that night, Elias returned to his apartment, his mind still reeling.
As he sat on his couch, trying to process everything, there was a sudden knock on the door.
His instincts kicked in. He reached for his gun before approaching. Slowly, he opened the door.
And then, his blood turned to ice.
On the ground, wrapped in a black cloth, was a severed head.
Helena Marek.
Dominic Graves' right-hand woman. One of the most feared figures in the syndicate. Now just a lifeless head at his doorstep.
His stomach churned as his eyes moved to the piece of paper attached to the cloth.
Scrawled in dark red ink, it read:
"WATCH OUT, ELIAS."
The world seemed to tilt as Elias stared at the message.
Whoever did this wasn't just sending a threat.
They were making an offer.
And the worst part?
Elias didn't know if he should be afraid… or intrigued.
