I've been told all my life that love is a weakness in our world. That couldn't be further from the truth, but that's only half of what I need to finish the job. Power—it's the only thing some people understand besides money. I'm not worried; power is one thing I'm not lacking in this fight.

Now that all the pieces are set, it's finally time to shake things up in this criminal world and bring an end to the era of the Five Families.

Blood has been spilled, my heart has been broken, and there are traitors in our midst. What a great way to start as the new leader of the Caprioni Family.
