Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Emanuele and his crew arrived at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the eastern city suburbs at five in the afternoon. They had already had their men search the vicinity; there were several abandoned warehouses, but this one seemed the most likely. The outer iron fence had been destroyed, giving it an especially desolate appearance. From the outside, it didn’t seem like a place where anyone would live.

“This is the most suspicious place we’ve found, but we haven’t gone in, and we don’t dare to get too close for fear of being discovered, boss, what do you think we should do?” the man assigned to search here approached and said.

Emanuele observed the warehouse. It indeed seemed deserted, but it was hard to say. Knowing William’s cunning nature, he often chose unconventional paths. No one knew if William might be inside.

Emanuele bet that William was inside the warehouse. He began to instruct James to act. They split into several teams and stormed in from the entrance. Because the warehouse had no windows, they couldn’t observe the inside from outside. There might be many traps set by William inside. However, regardless, Emanuele knew he had to rush in; they had to catch William. No matter how many people they had, they couldn’t match his capabilities.

“Let’s assume William is inside. Follow the route we’ve planned. James, Evelyn is likely in there too. Be careful,” Emanuele said, carefully observing the area near the warehouse. He smiled and pointed to a place. “There’s a surveillance camera there. Why would there be surveillance in an abandoned factory? He should be inside.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The abandoned warehouse wasn’t large. James nodded. The thought of Evelyn being held captive by William made him want to take down that bastard. Damn it, Evelyn was so innocent, had nothing to do with the Mafia, and hadn’t provoked anyone. Why did that bastard William always have to torment Evelyn? It was his fault for not protecting her. James felt a deep sense of guilt and knew he had to find a way to save her. He just hoped William was inside the warehouse. If he was, James was determined not to let him escape this time.

After they had planned, they cautiously moved to the entrance. They saw a nearby camera and immediately destroyed it with gunfire. Emanuele smiled and ordered, “Attack.”

They threw a bomb at the entrance, blowing it open, and then Emanuele, with James and their team, rushed in immediately. Just as Emanuele had suspected, there were indeed people inside and quite a few at that. As soon as they entered, the opposing side opened fire.

Emanuele immediately took cover behind the goods. From the corner, they surveyed the situation inside the warehouse. There were many compartments, much more organized than the previous warehouse William had been in. This seemed to be William’s headquarters. However, because of this, the difficulty of their attack had increased significantly. They didn’t know how many people were inside each closed-off section. They couldn’t shoot randomly for fear of hitting Evelyn.

They engaged in intense combat inside the warehouse. The sounds of bullets and explosions filled the air. Emanuele and James led their team, braving the gunfire. Some of their people fell, but more of the opposing side’s did. Emanuele wielded a machine gun, shooting at anyone who dared to show themselves. These were his enemies, whom he detested to the core, and he swore to eliminate them all. William, he had to find William. The slaughter had begun; he would find William.

Emanuele turned to James and said, “We have to hurry. We can’t let William figure things out and react. Make sure they watch the back door. We can’t let William escape.” If he let William escape this time, he felt he didn’t deserve to sit in the position he held in the Chicago Mafia. In the past, he couldn’t figure William out, but now he was clear on William’s tactics. Come what may, Emanuele was ready for the fight.

The warehouse wasn’t large, but the design inside was complex. It took them a long time to clear it out. The bodies of the Sicilians piled up like a small mountain.

“Boss, I found Evelyn, but her condition doesn’t look good,” James shouted from one of the compartments. Evelyn lay unconscious on a bed, naked, and bleeding. She appeared to have been tortured severely by William.

James’s heart shattered at the sight of Evelyn in such distress, and when he saw the wound on her neck, he thought she might be dead. Thankfully, when he checked, he found she was still breathing. James quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Evelyn to hide her injuries. He feared that if too many people saw her, Evelyn would lose her mind.

Emanuele approached and saw Evelyn, barely clinging to life after being tortured. He realized that William was truly despicable. Evelyn was so fond of him, yet he could subject her to such torment. Damn it, Isabella couldn’t find out, or she would be even more devastated.

At that moment, Emanuele’s phone rang. “Boss, we’ve caught William, he’s in the back!”

“Bring him in,” Emanuele gritted his teeth. Excellent, William was finally before him. He vowed to make William regret ever coming into this world.

Upon hearing the commotion, William had intended to escape through an underground passage. He always ensured he had a secure exit strategy, wherever he went. But this time, just as he emerged from the underground passage, Emanuele caught him. In that moment, William knew he was finished. His strength lay not in direct confrontation but in using dark, despicable methods. Now, he was caught and subdued, unable to resist.

Later, William was brought back into the warehouse, now in chaos, permeated with the smell of blood and gunpowder, making his stomach churn. He also sensed the smell of death. His men were dead, leaving only him. He hadn’t expected Emanuele to be so shrewd. He intentionally led Emanuele to another area, never expecting him to find this place.

William gazed at Emanuele, saying nothing. James, however, rushed forward and punched him in the face. Instantly, William felt a sharp, intense pain erupt on his face, and the taste of blood surged. It seemed some of his teeth had been shattered.

“I’ll kill you, you damn bastard!” James roared, his anger making his chest heave. His voice echoed in the silent warehouse.
