Regenia was a rookie detective following in her sick father's footsteps that everyone wanted to see fall, and the first given chance, they threw the hardest case in her lap. None cared if she succeeded or failed because their thoughts on the case we...

Berardo arrived in Italy ready to take over, but something bothered him. His family was too quiet. It wasn't unusual for him to sneak in and out of their country, but this time, he was making his presence known, and they weren't taking the bait. It concerned him, but it wouldn't stop what he had planned. Ardo's first steps were to take out his cousin, as he always planned, but he had to ensure Regenia was safe. Initially, he planned to kill the woman and the man she had decided to spend her life with, but he saw her as his greatest tool. The woman was smart, beautiful, and handy to his plans. How could he let the moment pass?
He couldn't, which was why he planned on taking her. What he had in mind was what he could do to her body and what he wanted to do in front of the man who loved her. It would be his best torture, and Berardo couldn't wait to see Giuseppe grovel at his feet. His plan was so perfect it couldn't go wrong. At least, he hoped it couldn't, but Berardo knew everything was never as it seemed to be with his family. His uncle always thought he had a trick or two up his sleeve, but this time, he would come out on top.
"You're late!"
"No. I don't think I'm Fratello, but your trip here was useless." His sister spoke, making him look over. Francesca was the last person he was hoping to see. The woman loathed him, and the feeling was mutual. Therefore, he didn't understand why Anthony would allow her to come to pick him up, or it could mean something had happened to his brother.
"What have you done to Anthony—"
"Why would I hurt my Fratello? I'm not you. Someone who is out to harm his famiglia because you want something that never belongs to you. How does it feel to know you'll never have it? How does it...."
"Will you shut the fuck up and get to the fucking point bitch!" He yelled, making the woman laugh as he sighed. She was trying to get under his skin, but Berardo wasn't going to allow it, but he knew Fran was there for a reason. Meaning Giuseppe knew he was in Italy, which meant his plan had gotten much harder. They were going to be waiting for him to show.
"Take me to Anthony."
"I can't. You see, he's in New York. Sorry nowhere near here."
"You're fucking lying. I sent him back to handle some business. I just got off the phone with him; he informed me that everything was ready before I landed." He started making his sister chuckle. Something about it made him uneasy, causing him to sweat as he loosened his tie.
It couldn't be Giuseppe gotten over on him. "Fran, I don't have time for your riddles. Why is Ant still in New York or back there after I instructed him to come home and wait for me to arrive? He's loyal to me, unlike your ungrateful ass." He spoke as she scowled at him.
"UNGRATEFUL! I THINK YOU'RE THE ONE UNGRATEFUL... I'm not sinking to your level. Plus, our Don instructed him otherwise. He was to stay in New York waiting for his arrival." Quickly Berardo turned to his sister. There was no way their Zio went to New York. He refused to go on vacations unless they were somewhere in Italy. Therefore, it wasn't possible for Giovanni to leave their country. "You're lying. Zio Giovanni would never leave Italy. We both know that."
