My Stepbrother's Dirty Little Secret novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773

Vincenzo looked at Adriano, “Prepare the jet.”

Adriano was already reaching for his phone before the sentence had fully left Vincenzo’s mouth.

“Tonight?” he asked.

“I want an emergency Council session called within the next twenty-four hours,” Vincenzo ordered. The heads of the Five Families only. No wives, no children, just the Dons.”

Adriano’s thumb was already moving across the screen, “I’ll contact their offices myself.”

“Don’t ask.”

“I won’t.”

“Tell them they have twenty-four hours.”

“And if they refuse?”

Vincenzo’s eyes hardened, “They won’t.”

I reached inside my jacket and pulled out a small matte-black device no larger than a cigarette lighter.

I placed it on the desk before Vincenzo. He looked down at it before lifting his eyes to mine.

“I’m not getting on that jet.”

Vincenzo didn’t touch the device, “What are you planning?”

“I’m leaving in an hour. She’s under the same roof as the man who did this to her. Every minute she’s there is another minute she’s alone with him,” I pushed the device across the desk until it stopped in front of him, “Take it.”

He finally picked it up, “What is it?”

“The receiver.”

He turned it over in his hand, “For what?”

“For Gianna,” I leaned back slightly, “The necklace I gave her wasn’t just mom’s jewelry. I also implanted one beneath my own skin.”

Maddie’s eyes widened, “You… what?”

“If something goes wrong,” I met Vincenzo’s eyes, “You’ll know where both of us are.”

Vincenzo stared at the tracker for several long seconds before closing his hand around it.

Then Vincenzo nodded once, “So you’re going in alone.”

“Right now, the only thing that matters is getting her out without drawing attention,” I said. “The Syndicate can

keep breathing for a few more hours.” I looked up. “After that… I bury every last one of them.”

Adriano let out a slow breath through his nose, “I’ll have men ready on standby.”

“No.”

Adriano frowned, “No?”

“No one follows me.”

“Raphael-”

“I said no. If this turns into an army marching onto Torricelli territory, the Council will call it an invasion before Vincenzo even gets them into the meeting,” I looked toward him, “Giovanni is probably already waiting for a reason to accuse us.”

Vincenzo nodded, “He’s right.”

“I go alone,” I looked between both of my brothers.

Claire quietly walked around the desk until she stood in front of me. She rested one hand against my arm, her home. We’ll take care of everything here.”

“Bring

Maddie stepped closer beside Adriano. She looked worried, but there wasn’t fear in her eyes, “You all should do what needs to be done.”

Claire’s eyes shifted toward Vincenzo before returning to me, “Your only job is making sure Gianna doesn’t have to face another day like that ever again.”

Vincenzo slipped the tracking device into the inside pocket of his jacket. When he looked back at me, every trace of that defeat had disappeared.

The Don of the Capone Family stood before me once again.

“I’ll bring the Council to its knees,” he said, meeting my eyes. A familiar darkness settled back into his expression, “You go bring our little sister home.”

I stared at him for a second before letting out a dry, humorless laugh, “Fuck you.”

The smirk on his face widened just enough to tell me he’d gotten exactly the reaction he’d wanted.

There wasn’t a single fucking brotherly thought in my head when it came to Gianna.

There never had been.

Never will be.

And now, if the world stood between me and Gianna… 1

The world was going to fucking move.

Hey, guys!

Just a heads-up: this chapter didn’t go through my final editing pass, so there might be a few errors here and there. I was already running really late, so I decided to post it instead of mak~
