[The Russian Don's POV]
"So what is our next move?", Adrian, my second-in-command questioned.
Sipping my tea, I get comfortable in my chair leaning back with a sigh. I watch as he paces back and forth waiting for my instructions.
"You seem oddly impatient", I said.
"I'm only wondering what we'll do now. We've already made our threats when we sent our men to ambush those brothers. Jack has been terrorizing the sister", Adrian stated.
"So everything's going according to our plan", I shrugged.
"Yes sir, it is. But we've pushed the Costellos too many times now. Alessandro will not let it go as we already know. The attacks on his siblings are only going to make him want to strike at us. But shouldn't we do something before he can do that?", Adrian asked.
I put the tea aside and leaned forward resting my elbows on the desk.
"We are. It's time to execute the plan", I said.
"The plan?", Adrian asked to confirm, a mild surprise on his face.
"Yes. According to our latest intel the targets are in position. The right moment has arrived. Everything is going smoothly as we hoped. Even God's on our side this time. So I say we make full use of this chance and strike", I explained.
Adrian nods. "You're right."
"Send our people and tell them to get the job done. Let them know returning empty handed is not an option. I will personally kill them if they ruin this opportunity", I issued the warming.
"Don't worry boss", Adrian assures me. "It's time for the Costellos to feel some pain."
An amused chuckle escaped me.
"Oh they won't just feel pain. It'll be a different level of torture I'll rain upon them. One they can't escape. One that will eventually bring them to their knees and force them to beg for my mercy", I rejoiced at the idea.
Adrian smiled, shaking his head.
"What?", I ask.
"Funny how any weakness can be a pain in the ass in this line of work. They obviously know that but even then they can't help it", Adrian answered. "Because the Costello family really treasures that weakness. How pathetic."
"Valentina", I breathed out.
A name that has brought both joy and grief in their lives.
A girl who supposedly has the power to bring even the strongest men in her family to their knees. Voluntarily even. I wonder if she is even aware of that.
Doesn't matter. She'll know soon enough.
"That girl really chose the wrong time to reunite with her family", Adrian remarked.
I hummed. "Valentina, the blessed child, to a family who wished and prayed for her for almost two generations. Mind you, she might be the only daughter which makes her an obvious target. But the Costello's got another, much bigger, weakness. One that I am sure is Valentina's weakness too."
A smirk takes over Adrian's face as he understands what I insinuated.

"It's your turn."
I snapped out of my thoughts, coming back to reality. "Huh?"
