Seven Years of Omertà — Novel

About

In the heart of a city cloaked in shadows, secrets run deeper than blood, and trust is a fragile currency. For seven years, Elena has navigated the treacherous waters of an underworld governed by silence and loyalty, bound by an oath of omertà that demands unwavering allegiance. But when a familiar face resurfaces, threatening to unravel the carefully woven threads of her life, she must confront the ghosts of her past and the truth she’s buried deep within.

As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, Elena finds herself caught between two worlds: the dangerous allure of a life she thought she left behind and the fragile hope of a future she yearns to embrace. Can she protect the ones she loves while grappling with the weight of her choices? And what happens when the very foundations of her world begin to crumble?

In a tale where every decision could lead to salvation or destruction, Elena must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim her life. Will she remain silent, or will the truth finally break free?

Seven Years of OmertàChapter 1

When I lost my baby in a car wreck, Dominic just happened to be driving by with his personal aide in the passenger seat.

He saw my white dress soaked in blood, shielded Penelope's curious eyes with his hand, and coldly muttered, "Bad luck. Don't look." Then he sped off.

That same night, while I was in the bedroom of the townhouse on Sloane territory, I found a lace bra stuffed in the corner of our closet. A bra that definitely wasn't mine.

I stood there for a long time. The house was quiet the way houses in this world are always quiet. Not peaceful. Monitored. Two soldiers stationed at the front door, another in the car idling at the curb. The low hum of a surveillance feed running somewhere behind the walls. I had lived inside this silence for seven years, and I had mistaken it for safety.

Closing the closet door, I calmly dialed a number. "Salvatore, I've made up my mind. I can leave the city next week and start handling the books for your operation."
