The audacity of their demands sent a surge of anger through my veins, but I knew that I couldn't afford to let my emotions cloud my judgment.
Yet, even in the face of such outrageous demands, I knew that I had to tread carefully.
The lives of Angela, Jessie, and Dominic hung in the balance, and my priority was their safe return.
"The demands they've made are outrageous.Ridicolo." I muttered under my breath, my voice tinged with a mix of anger and disbelief.
"Dante, we can't possibly entertain these demands," Kramaric said, his voice laced with incredulity as he read the note.
"They want you to step down as the leader of the mafia families. It's a direct attack on your authority. It’s ridiculous. Just who is this person?"
I leaned back in my chair, my mind racing with possibilities.
The audacity of the demands left me seething with rage, but I knew that a hasty response would only put my family in further danger.
I had to think strategically.
I replied, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions brewing within me.
"We won't bow down to their threats.Mai!”
Kramaric nodded. "What's the plan?
I tapped my fingers on the desk, deep in thought.
"We've been gathering valuable information through our secret technology. It's time to put that to use," I answered.
Kramaric's eyes widened in realization. "You mean we'll strike back with the information we've obtained? Use it to our advantage?"
I nodded. "Exactly. We'll target their hidden assets, dismantle their operations, and leave them scrambling. We'll show them that no one challenges the Cortini family without consequences. The transactions will reveal just who the person is and we can track their whereabouts."
Kramaric's expression shifted from concern to a glimmer of hope.
"And what about Angela and Dominic, Dante? How do we ensure their safety?"
My jaw clenched as I contemplated the question.
"We can't let them know that we're onto their game. We must play this carefully, keep them guessing," I replied.
Kramaric's gaze met mine, a silent acknowledgment passing between us.
We both understood the gravity of the task ahead.
Lives were at stake, and failure was not an option.
Gathering my resolve, I straightened my back and focused on the task at hand.
The letter clutched tightly in my hand, its words etched into my memory, became a relentless reminder of the urgency and stakes involved.
There was no time to dwell on regrets or self-doubt.
With a determined look in my eyes, I turned to Kramaric.
"We need to act swiftly. Gather our most trusted allies and mobilize our resources. We will find them, no matter the cost," I declared, my voice filled with a newfound determination.
Kramaric nodded, a steely resolve replacing the shock that had initially washed over him.
"I'll make the necessary arrangements. We'll leave no stone unturned, Dante. We'll bring them back safely," he assured me, his loyalty shining through his words.
