In the end, we reached an agreement that satisfied both parties.

The CEO and I shook hands, sealing the deal.

This was just the beginning of what I knew would be a fruitful partnership.

"I will have my legal team prepare the contract and forward it to you for your signature," I stated.

"I eagerly anticipate receiving the contract and am excited to work with you, Mr. Cortini," responded the young man.

As we left the conference room, my lawyers congratulated me on a successful negotiation.

But I knew that the real work had just begun.

The acquisition would require a lot of effort and resources to integrate the payment platform into our company's operations seamlessly.

But for now, I felt a sense of satisfaction and pride in the successful negotiation.

I knew that this acquisition was the right move for our company, and I couldn’t wait to see where it would take us in the future.

By the end of the conference, I was exhausted but invigorated.

I had made several promising connections and had plenty of new ideas to bring back to my own company.

"How did the negotiations go?" Vito inquired when we regrouped.

"We were able to reach an agreement. Our project is progressing smoothly," I replied with a small smirk.

I saw no reason to prolong my stay after achieving my intended goals.

The thought of Angela flashed through my mind, and I felt compelled to return home and have the long-overdue conversation with her that I had put off for some time.

As I left the conference center, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

I was a part of this dynamic industry, and I was determined to bring success to the Cortini name.

As I walked through the door of my home, a profound sense of relief washed over me, melting away the stress and tension that had been building up throughout the day.

This was the one place where I could truly be myself, free from the need to wear a mask or keep up a facade.

At home, I could let my guard down and allow myself to be vulnerable and authentic.

There was no need to maintain a false persona or worry about the judgment of others.

I could simply be who I was, imperfections and all.

This was a precious gift, one that I cherished deeply.

In a world that often demanded so much of me, my home was a sanctuary where I could escape and find solace.

It was a place where I could breathe easily and let go of the worries that had been weighing me down.

As I settled into the comfort of my surroundings, I was reminded of the importance of self-care and the need to prioritize my well-being.

In this space, I could recharge and renew my spirit, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with renewed strength and resilience, whether it came from my company or the other mafia families.

Walking around, I managed to locate Angela, who was just leaving my father’s room.
