Chapter 73

• The apartment was quiet when Vittorio returned after the tumultuous night. His men were still searching for John Smith, but for now, he could allow himself a moment of calm. He knew he had many matters to attend to, but at that moment, his focus was on his daughter, Donna, and the woman he had loved and betrayed.
• Vittorio made his way to the master bedroom, where he found Ellis and Donna sleeping peacefully. It was a scene he had always imagined, a complete family, but now, the image was clouded by betrayal and secrets kept for years. He closed the door carefully not to wake them and returned to the living room.
• He lay down on the couch, but the tumultuous night didn't allow him peaceful sleep. His thoughts were in turmoil, and the revelations from the previous night weighed on his mind like an unbearable burden.
