Calix De Luca is dead, and Circe has to confirm it.
Fulfilling her promise to her dead adoptive mother, Circe continued her duties as a church usherette, but this time she had another solid purpose-to confirm that the person lying inside the coffin was Calix De Luca, the most notorious mafioso in Italy and an unstable man who genuinely enjoyed torture and mayhem. Calix, however, was more than just a dead criminal, he was the same man who had fulfilled her darkest desires the night before he was supposed to be buried.
Circe had to flee because Calix was not only a man to be feared but he was also coming for her, to take her by force or will.
Calix will have her on whatever hurdles come their way. Even if it meant breaking his Omertà.
