How could someone bypass my formidable security measures and deliver such a gruesome message right to the doorstep of my home?
It was a brazen display of defiance, a clear sign that enemies were lurking in the shadows.
A sense of betrayal settled in my heart.
Someone within our organization had betrayed us.
There was no doubt.
The very notion sent waves of anger coursing through my veins. How dare they jeopardize the safety of my family?
I knew then that this incident went beyond a mere act of intimidation.
It was a calculated move, a strategic play aimed at sowing discord and weakening my position.
The question of who was responsible weighed heavily upon me, and I vowed to uncover the truth.
This severed hand, this threat, would not break our resolve.
If anything, it only fueled the fire burning within me.
I had spent a lifetime building this empire, earning the loyalty of those around me.
I would not let it crumble under this deceit and betrayal.
It was time to set my plan in motion, to follow in the footsteps of mypadreand deal with such a challenge head-on.
Madre's words echoed in my mind, her advice ringing true. I needed to lay a trap, to ensnare the traitor who had infiltrated our ranks and expose them to the light.
But caution was paramount.
I couldn't trust anyone completely, not even those closest to me.
The threat had become internal, and I had to tread carefully, even among those I considered family.
Their identities would be unveiled and the consequences of their betrayal would be severe.
As I looked into Angela's eyes, still filled with fear and uncertainty, a fierce determination washed over me.
I would protect her no matter the cost.
Their actions had jeopardized everything I held dear, and I would not rest until they had been dealt with.

As Vito and I retreated to the sanctuary of my study, leaving Jessie and Angela to comfort each other, my mind buzzed with a torrent of thoughts and emotions.
The severed hand incident had jolted me from my sense of security, and now doubts gnawed at the edges of my consciousness.
How could someone infiltrate our fortress, breaching my security measures?
Resting my hands on the polished surface of my desk, I stared at the array of monitors displaying various feeds from our surveillance system.
Each screen was a reminder of our failure, a reminder that we had allowed an enemy to infiltrate our stronghold. Anger flared within me.
"How did this happen, Vito?" I questioned with my voice tight with controlled fury.
"Our security measures are unparalleled. We've spent years fine-tuning every detail, ensuring that no threat could penetrate our defenses. Yet, here we are, faced with a gruesome reminder that our enemies can breach our walls."
