Chapter 6 - The Siege of the Estate
The sight before Alessandro made his blood run cold. Dominic’s remaining loyalists, combined with mercenaries hired from their rival crime syndicate—the Moretti family—were launching a full-scale assault on the Romano compound.
"Don Dominic is dead or captured! Burn the estate to the ground and take the bloodline!" the attackers shouted, firing heavy weaponry into the main gates.
Dominic, though heavily injured, had been freed from his cell by a rogue faction during Alessandro’s absence and had opened the gates to the Morettis in a desperate bid to burn down everything Alessandro built.
"Isabella, stay in the armored car with Marco!" Alessandro commanded, his eyes turning to absolute flint.
"Alessandro, please be careful! Our daughter is inside!" Isabella begged, gripping his arm.
"I will bring our daughter back to you. I promise."
Alessandro stepped out of the vehicle. He shed his heavy tactical vest, pulling two combat pistols from his holster. He walked straight into the hail of gunfire like the grim reaper himself.
Every step Alessandro took left a trail of enemy bodies. Driven by pure primal rage, he and his elite guards systematically tore through the invading forces. He fought his way up the grand marble staircase, clearing hall by hall until he reached the reinforced safe room behind his study.

Just as he reached the heavy steel door, Dominic stumbled out from the shadows, blood dripping from his face, holding a live frag grenade with the pin pulled.
"If I don't get to rule the Romano empire, Alessandro, then none of us will!" Dominic screamed in madness.
