Chapter 10 - The New Beginning
The transition of power took six grueling months of negotiations, payouts, and threats.
But Alessandro Moretti, the most feared man in New York, kept his word.
He handed over the keys to his violent empire and walked out the door with only his personal fortune.
They moved to a massive, quiet estate in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy.

He knelt down, smiling warmly at his adopted daughter.
"Papa," she signed perfectly, her bright eyes shining with joy.
"Can we go ride the horses?"
Alessandro's heart swelled with a kind of love he never thought he would experience.
"Of course we can, principessa," he signed back.
