let go of his wife and kneeled,

Si hijo
, look in my pocket.”

The boy
dug and dug until he found something. He pulled it out. In his hand an antique
silver stopwatch.
The boy looked disappointed, “What’s this?”

“A family heirloom, it belonged to my father and his father, now it’s yours.”

Selange pretended to pout and asked in fluent
S
panish
, “
What did you bring me from
Italy?”

He
stood and gave her a hungry kiss. Alfonzo released her smiling. Their
paths
were meant to cross. He was happy…extremely happy.

Past a grassy hill a lone figure watched the most powerful man in Italy and America
spend
ing
a tender moment with his family.
Three years passed since Luzo’s death. As predicted, Alfonzo took his rightful place at
the helm of Palazzo Enterprises. It
remained
the most profitable and
influential international
companies
in the world.

Nico turned and walked over to the rocky incline where his
twin
brother sat
beneath t
he
shade of a tree.

“Satisfied?” His brother asked.

“Everything seems
fine,
besides Nicky and Lou
wi
ll
keep’em
safe.”

“Yeah,
but
maybe we should tell him.”

“Tell him what,
Freddie
’s
missing
?” Nico
answered
, “Let’s bring him a souvenir instead.”

The brothers walked side by side over the hill determined to locate
the snake Freddie.

Half a mile away the FBI sat
in
their
rented beach house
on the island of Puerto
Rico.
Their
sophisticated surveillance
equipment trained on the home of Alfonzo Diaz
,
Don of
one
the wealthiest and elusive m
afia
families
in history.

From the author:

 

T
h
is
was
the first book for Alfonzo. Initially, I had not considered doing a series until receiving multiple requests from readers to continue with the saga. As an independent author it is quite gratifying to find the story has entertained some of you.
After many years in the medical field, I attended law school. I decided a year later to forego
my pursuit of a legal career
to
follow my
secret
passion for storytelling
.
I am
finally
whole. There is an immense joy to my heart.
A creative mind can
not conform; it can
only create.
I have traveled the conventional route in life and have written silently for too long.
Thank you for supporting the arts and discovering my voice.
