Corinna hair and outfit

The house is eerily quiet today; it marks the day my mother was killed right here, in our living room, by our enemies. I was just 9 years old, but the memory is etched in my mind as if it happened yesterday. It was the first time I saw my father cry, a testament to how much he loved her.

As I walk through the hallowed halls, the weight of the anniversary lingers in the air. "Father," I murmur, finding him in his study, surrounded by maps and plans. "How do we honor her memory today?"

His gaze meets mine, a mixture of sorrow and determination. "Corinna, my dove, today we plan. Today we remember and ensure that the debt is repaid."

I nod in understanding, but questions linger. "Father, why do we celebrate revenge? Isn't there a better way to remember her, without more bloodshed?"

He sighs, the burden of our legacy evident in his eyes. "Corinna, love, it's the world we live in. We must show strength, remind our enemies of the consequences. It's the only way they'll learn."

"But will it bring her back?" I ask, a hint of defiance in my voice.

His silence speaks volumes, and I know the answer. No amount of revenge can fill the void left by her absence. Yet, in the corridors of power and deceit, vengeance is the currency we trade.

As I leave his study, the weight of our family's history bears down on me. The lines between right and wrong blur, and I wonder if there will ever be a day when the Da Luca name is not synonymous with bloodshed and vendetta. Corinna first person

The other mafia family is here as always; they greet me with a mix of respect and anticipation. To them, I'm not just Corinna; I'm a symbol of the Da Luca legacy-a princess in this clandestine realm where power is measured in alliances and revenge.

Tonight, after thirteen years of meticulous planning and waiting, is the night we've all been gearing towards. Revenge, pulsating in our veins like a dark, shared heartbeat, is about to take center stage.

As the men huddle to discuss the granular details of the operation, I find myself navigating through the sea of hushed voices and cigar smoke. They outline the plan-the calculated moves, the expected retaliation, the potential outcomes. It's a dance of shadows, and tonight, the spotlight belongs to us.
