Reinforcements swiftly arrived, led by the Don himself. The scene outside the abandoned hut buzzed with activity as the Don's security personnel secured the area. Sofia's father rushed to her side, enveloping her in a tight, relieved embrace.

"Sofia," he murmured, his voice a mixture of worry and paternal warmth. "Are you alright?"

The private doctor, already on standby, approached to assess Sofia's condition. After a thorough examination, he confirmed that while shaken, Sofia had no serious injuries. The Don, visibly relieved, gave a nod to proceed with transporting her to their fortified home.

The journey was swift, accompanied by an added layer of security, ensuring their safety at every turn. Once they reached the Don's residence, Sofia was ushered into her room, where a private doctor continued to monitor her well-being.

Marco, concerned yet resolute, remained at Sofia's side. As the private doctor completed his check-up and left the room, the Don summoned Marco to his office to discuss the incident and the ongoing investigation.

The Don's office exuded an air of authority and urgency. He gestured for Marco to take a seat, his eyes fixated on the task at hand.

"Marco, we need answers. Swift and precise. Who would dare to attack my daughter?"

Marco's jaw tightened, his resolve steeling against the gravity of the situation.

"Sir, I assure you, I'll get to the bottom of this. No one threatens Sofia and gets away with it."

Frustration etched lines on the Don's brow as he leaned forward, his expression one of unwavering determination.

"I've always trusted you with Sofia's safety, Marco. But this... This is beyond anything we've faced before."

Marco's jaw clenched, a rare display of the intensity of his emotions.

"I understand the gravity of the situation, Sir. I won't rest until we uncover who orchestrated this attack."

The Don leaned forward, his gaze unwavering.

"Do whatever it takes, Marco. I don't want mere answers; I want justice for my daughter."

Marco nodded in agreement. "Consider it done, Sir."

A silent promise echoing in the air between them. As he turned to leave the office, his mind already racing with potential leads and avenues of inquiry, he couldn't shake the sense of urgency that pulsed through his veins.

The safety of Sofia, and by extension, the honor of the Don's family, depended on his ability to unravel the mystery surrounding the attack. And Marco was determined to do whatever it took to ensure that justice was served.
