The Devil's Bride CHAPTER 176
The air inside the museum carried the faint scent of polished wood, aged parchment, and expensive varnish that had settled into the walls over centuries. Every breath seemed to carry fragments of history. The silence was broken only by the distant echoes of measured footsteps, the soft murmur of hushed conversations somewhere beyond the grand galleries, and the occasional creak of ancient timber settling beneath the immense weight of the building.Every corner radiated wealth.Every sculpture spoke of prestige.Every priceless painting reflected generations of power, culture, and refinement.To any ordinary visitor, the Moscow Museum was nothing more than a sanctuary of history, but to those who lived in the shadows...It was something entirely different.Beneath its elegant silence lingered an invisible tension, as though the walls themselves already knew that tonight's visitors had not come to admire history.Francesco's heartbeat became strangely calm instead of faster as his years
The Devil's Bride CHAPTER 175
"We are here, sir."The calm voice of the driver of the lead SUV echoed through the encrypted communication channel, cutting through the silence that had settled over the convoy during the drive.The words were short and yet they carried enough weight to transform the atmosphere inside every vehicle in an instant.Without waiting for another command, every single soldier reacted almost instinctively.The sharp metallic clicks of rifles echoed softly inside the vehicles.Magazines were removed and checked with practiced precision.Slides were pulled back and rounds were chambered while suppressors were tightened.Handguns were inspected one final time before disappearing beneath jackets and waistbands, in all of these not a single unnecessary word was spoken because everyone knew exactly what had to be done.Outside, the convoy remained parked several yards away from the museum, rather than stopping directly in front of the building, the vehicles had taken position inside a narrow, aba

Meanwhile, as the men entered their assigned vehicles, Francesco paused beside the lead SUV and turned toward Diego. His sharp eyes briefly rested on Sergie, who remained under heavy guard with his wrists firmly restrained behind his back."Diego... get him to enter with me."The command was simple, yet it carried enough authority to erase every possibility of objection.After all, there was still far too much Francesco needed to learn, and there was no better place to question Sergie than inside the same vehicle, where every movement, every facial expression, and every hesitation could be observed without interruption."Yes, sir."Without delay, Diego motioned to two soldiers standing beside Sergie."You heard the Don. Bring him."The soldiers immediately obeyed. One held Sergie firmly by the shoulder while the other unlocked the rear door of the lead SUV. Sergie climbed inside carefully, his movements slow and deliberate, making sure not to provoke the heavily armed men surrounding
The Devil's Bride CHAPTER 173
Francesco stood at the center of the deck, allowing the silence that followed his earlier threat to Sergie to settle over every man present. The sea stretched endlessly around them, dark and calm beneath the moonlight, while the gentle rocking of the ship contrasted sharply with the violence that awaited them on land. Every man present understood that the next few hours would determine far more than the success of a single operation. It could shape the future of everything they had worked for.Slowly, Francesco turned his gaze toward every soldier standing before him."So... first things first, men."His calm voice carried across the deck with surprising clarity. Nobody interrupted him. Even the sound of the waves seemed to fade beneath the authority contained in those simple words."Today... we go against our enemy. An enemy who made us lose good people. An enemy who decided to attack us even before we truly knew who they were."His expression remained composed, yet beneath that calm

“Sir, we should be leaving already.”Diego's voice broke the silence that had settled across the deck.He stood upright with both hands clasped behind his back, his eyes fixed on Francesco. Although he maintained his usual disciplined posture, the impatience in his voice was impossible to hide.“The night is getting darker, and the meeting should begin within the next few hours, sir.”For several long seconds, Francesco did not answer but instead, a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.He turned his head and looked directly at Diego, it was not an ordinary glance as his eyes were like the eyes of an owl observing its prey from the darkness, patiently studying every movement before deciding whether to strike.The smile remained, but it carried no warmth but calculations, and finally when everyone thought the smile and staring will never stop, Francesco spoke.“Patience, Diego.”His voice was gentle.“Patience.”He slowly rose from the chair and walked toward the edge of the deck, a

Francesco's words carried immediate authority.The moment he ordered the men to change into less conspicuous clothing, no one questioned him. Every soldier acknowledged the instruction with a nod before dispersing across the deck, disappearing one after another into the lower compartments of the ship.Heavy boots echoed against the steel floor as doors opened and closed in quick succession.Within moments, the once-crowded deck became noticeably quieter.Only a handful of trusted men remained behind.Francesco rested both hands on the cold railing, his eyes fixed on the harbor ahead. The lights of the distant port shimmered against the dark water, creating an almost peaceful illusion that contrasted sharply with the mission awaiting them.Then another thought crossed his mind."And Diego."His calm voice cut through the silence. Diego, who had only managed to take a few steps away, immediately stopped and turned around."Yes, sir?"Francesco slowly shifted his attention toward him."W

“Sir yes sir” Dmitry said as he helped his man who got shot on the leg into the vehicle.The injured operative grimaced as he was carefully lifted inside while the blood loss had weakened him significantly.Yet he remained conscious and determined.The battle had been costly, every wounded soldier

The Sil clan survived because of the Ndranghetas, that in itself is fact that can't be argued about and without them…The Casa Sil would have been destroyed long ago.“You see, children do not understand the love and respect they are shown till they have lost it totally and that right now is what w

“The suffocating aura he carried around himself wherever he goes feels like darkness itself followed him everywhere…now that I think about it, the way people instantly lowered their heads whenever he walked into a room make me want to puke right here and now, like what nonsense is all that for” Azz

“What, how can you say such father you didn't even ask for my consent?” Azzura the only child of Mr. Tommaso and Mrs Gaia of the Sil clan, a small and almost seen to be weak clan screamed out at her father after hearing the news of her already planned marriage with her betrothed Francisco of the Nd
