'What the fuck do you mean my famiglia is in New York?!' Berardo yelled through his phone

'What the fuck do you mean my famiglia is in New York?!' Berardo yelled through his phone. He was upset he was learning about Giuseppe and Regenia being back in Manhattan, but if that wasn't enough, he had to learn his Nonno, Caterina, and someone their uncles were there too. At least he knew he still had some pull in the city, but it wasn't enough to keep them off his ass. It would be wise to run... leave the city, but Berardo was never known to back down from a fight, and he wasn't about to start it now.

'Do we know why they are here?'

'No, I only heard the news over the scanner. The reasons they are here are still unknown. I did some questioning around the precinct, but no one knew anything. It could be for the Governor's ball. Regenia is Zoey's daughter, and the ball is in four days. I know they don't know you are back. I made sure to do what you told me. Tell everyone you are in Florida taking care of mafia business.'

He was right; the Governor's Ball was in four days, and there was no way Regenia and Giuseppe would risk not showing New York they stood behind her mother. Sadly, Berardo put the Romano's on the map here, and Giuseppe was making sure to keep it up, which sickened him. The whole state had looked the other way about Giuseppe's little escape from prison and the fact that Regenia... an ex-detective, helped him do it. The only thing the stupid city saw was their money, and they were investing it to help improve Manhattan for the poor.

'You're right. There is no way they are here for me. Still, I will use the Governor's Ball to get close to my cousin. This time I'll make sure I end his ass."

"Donna Romano, your plan worked just as you said it would

"Donna Romano, your plan worked just as you said it would. I tipped Berardo off about your visit. The fool doesn't expect anything at all." The new police captain spoke as he walked back into the room with a smile. She knew Berardo would be too fucking self-centered to see the truth. She never understood why the man was so fucking dumb and smart at the same time, and he probably thought they were the dumb ones.

"I knew he would, but now we must devise a plan. Giuseppe, there is no way I'm allowing him to put innocent people's lives in danger. I know we agreed to use my Mom's ball to trap him, but we must think about the others who will be there."
