The Mafia Princess’s Revenge Chapter 06
I kept my voice calm, forcing down the violence.Â
“James, after all these years working together…Â
can you just tell me who it is?”Â
James refused immediately.Â
“Don, I can’t. This person is too dangerous. No oneÂ
in Brooklyn dares cross them.”Â
Click.Â
The line went dead. The dial tone was cold, like aÂ
countdown to disaster.Â
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, replayingÂ
everything over in my mind.Â
I’d built this empire in Brooklyn for nearly tenÂ
years.Â
I owned docks, I owned territory. Even cops lookedÂ
the other way.Â
Who could turn everyone against me overnight?Â
The financial advisor stepped closer. “Don, whatÂ
do we do?”Â
“We don’t have enough assets.”Â
“The luxury laundering would cover it–but all theÂ
brands cut ties.”Â
“We…we have no money.”Â
I grew utterly impatient and waved him away.Â
“I’ll handle it.”Â
After he left, Jessica clung to my arm. “Don, myÂ
sports car… it arrives tomorrow afternoon.”Â
I wrapped an arm around her waist. I was the Don of the Costa family. Even at rock bottom, IÂ
wouldn’t show weakness in front of a woman.Â
“Relax. I’ve survived worse. You’re still getting thatÂ
car. Family account.”Â
Jessica lit up, pressing herself against me.Â
Just then, I was full of anger. “Sit down.”Â
She hopped onto the desk, provocative and eager.Â
I tore off my tie, venting all my fear and irritation.Â
out on her…Â
One week later, outside the county courthouse.Â
The Corleone family had pushed hard, fast. For Brianna.Â
I had no choice but to fight the divorce publicly.Â
Jessica, my advisors, and I climbed out of the car.Â
Reporters swarmed us instantly.Â
Flashlights exploded–brighter than gunfire duringÂ
territory wars.Â
“Mr. Costa, is it true you left your wife for yourÂ
secretary?”Â
“The Corleone family is publicly supporting yourÂ
wife. Does that mean you’re off the power table inÂ
Brooklyn?”Â
“Is this your mistress? Did you bring her to courtÂ
to humiliate your wife?”Â
“Mr. Costa, what do you say to the accusations ofÂ
infidelity?”Â
I saw the network logos. I understoodÂ
immediately.Â
These were Corleone–controlled media.Â
Jessica had never faced this. She hid behind me,Â
terrified.Â
I stared the reporters down, voice dark. “WhoÂ
called you here?”Â
They pushed microphones closer.Â
“Leave my secretary out of this. Ask me yourÂ
questions.”Â
Reporters swarmed like cats smelling fish,Â
shoving mics straight toward me.Â
“Mr. Costa, are you admitting the affair?”Â
“Your wife built this life with you. Why repay herÂ
like this?”Â
“Aren’t you afraid your men will think you can’t control yourself…or your business?”Â
That last cut deep. It hit the one fear I couldn’tÂ
hide.Â
I ignored them, grabbed Jessica’s wrist, and marched toward the courthouse.Â
Flashlights chased me like hungry wolves.Â
I didn’t dare look back.Â
Then someone shouted loud and clear.Â
“Miss Brianna is here!”
