Sergio Agosta was a killer who hid behind a charming smile - but a killer nonetheless. He'd learnt the hard way that actions always had consequences. Which was why he was going after the one thing that would be his one and only shot at revenge - the...

Dinner had been pleasant so far - well, as pleasant as it could be with the Agostas. Thankfully, they'd had the common sense to invite Nonna over as well as a buffer between us. But even Nonna could tell that something was up based on the small glances she kept sending me across the table.
"So, son, how has business been going on here while we were away?"
I swallowed my food before I opened my mouth to reply to my Father's question.
"It's been going well."
"Good, good."
Complete silence descended on the table as only the clanking sounds of cutlery on plates could be heard.
"So," Father said as he sipped on his wine. "Is this permanent or is she another notch on your bedpost?" He sneered as he pointed his fork between Gianna and I.
Of fucking course. Why had I hoped that this dinner would be different from the rest?
"Bruno!" Nonna sternly said, shooting him a look that would have any other man withering under her stare.
I clenched my teeth, my fists gripping onto the tablecloth in anger. Gianna's body had frozen beside me as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard come out from my father's mouth.
"What, Mamma? I just asked a question."
"That is not an appropriate question you ask to someone you've invited over to your house. Sometimes I wonder where your father and I went wrong with you." She hissed before she turned to look at Gianna, an apologetic look on her face.
It was now my father's turn to clench his jaw as my mother sat mute beside him, her hand on his, as if she was trying to calm him down.
"Bellissima, I apologise for my son's insolent behavior."
Gianna opened her mouth to reply but Father cut in before she could get a word out.
"Absolutely not, Mamma. I was just asking to see if my son was serious with her or not."
"If I recall correctly, Father," I added as much venom as I could into the last word as I pierced my eyes into his. "I told you that she was my girlfriend. And I intend to make her my wife soon. I absolutely will not tolerate you disrespecting my woman this way."
"You've become fucking blind, no? What kind of magical pussy does she possess to have you talking like that?"
I was up and out of my chair in a second, pressing my gun to his temple.
"Say that again and I'll silence you for life. You'll regret being born into this world and I won't be to blame for the loss of Nonna's last remaining son."
Father scoffed before he tilted his head up to look at me.
"You're choosing some woman over your own father? Your own flesh and blood? Besides, Sebas had it coming anyways. It's not my fault he chose the wrong wo -
