His To Punish

Prologue

The Montanari and Vercilli Syndicates had been allies for as long as the mafia world could remember.

Their families had stood beside each other through bloodshed and countless mafia wars. Their alliance was considered unbreakable. The other syndicate knew better than to challenge that.

Everything changed after the Don of Montanari died.

His heir, Rocco Montanari, ascended as the new Don. A power-hungry tycoon with an insatiable appetite for power and control.

The mafia world had nicknamed him the Mad Don. He proved worthy of it.

Rocco's reckless ambition and ruthless decisions plunged the Montanari Group into financial ruin, stripping the family of the fear and respect it had once commanded.

He was losing his grip and he hated it.

His desperation turned him into a dangerously violent man.

Determined to reclaim his family's former glory, Rocco started a war.

He turned his fury toward the one family he believed could no longer stand against him— The Vercilli Syndicate.

One by one, the Vercillis fell. Abandoned by their allies, the empire crumbled beneath the weight of Rocco's assault.

The Vercillis lost everything—their power, their dignity, and the pride their name had carried for generations.

Rocco made certain of it. Determined to protect his legacy, he murdered the Vercilli bloodline in cold blood, leaving its sole heir, Lucien Vercilli alive to suffer the humiliation of being a slave.

Lucien Vercilli, the rightful heir to the Vercilli legacy, watched his family's empire burn to nothingness.

He watched the people who had once bowed to the Vercilli name turn their backs on it and he swore an oath to take back everything he had lost.

Quietly, Lucien learned to endure the world of slavery. For six years, he survived the painful tortures of Rocco's men while gathering the loyal remnants of his syndicate and rebuilding what Rocco had tried to destroy.

He trained mercilessly until pain became meaningless.

Six years later, Lucien orchestrated the largest coup the mafia world had ever witnessed, dismantling Rocco's empire from within and reclaiming the inheritance that had been stolen from him 12 years ago.

The Mad Don's reign ended at Lucien Vercilli's hands.

But killing Rocco wasn't enough to quench Lucien's thirst for vengeance.

Death was too easy, too quick, too peaceful for a man such as Rocco.

Even though Rocco was dead, Lucien wanted Rocco to understand what it felt like to lose the things he loved most. He wanted Rocco to at least rollover in his grave for every time something he treasured was toyed with.

So he went after the only thing Rocco had left to lose— His beloved daughters.

The Montanari sisters knelt before Lucien, their hands chained behind their backs, tears stinging their eyes as their breaths came unevenly.

He seized each sister by the neck, his fingers moving downward until they rested against the center of her breast.

“You are my possession. My s*x slave. Mine to toy with,” he stated curtly pinching hard on their n*****s. His touch was deliberately cruel, meant not merely to frighten them but to remind them of the power he now held over their lives.

The sisters whimpered through their fear, their breaths trembling as Lucien watched them with cold satisfaction.

“I will be certain to return the favor for everything your father has done to me and my family.”

His voice was laced with pure hatred and chilling calm. “Rest assured, I always keep my word.”

Lucien's gaze lingered on them for a moment before his expression hardened.

But revenge has a price. And when hatred collides with obsession, no one gets out unscathed.

Read on to discover what happens when the Mad Don’s daughters fall into the hands of the man who destroyed their family.
