Chapter 17 A Treasonous Gathering

• CHAPTER 17: A treasonous gathering
• Obsessive ambition was something that had always led the DeSantis men. For some, like Nero, and his father, it drove them to great heights of success. But for others like Luigi and his father, Tomasso, who was the twin brother of Nero’s father, it was something that merely exposed and highlighted their innate weakness and lack of superiority in the face of their competition.
• Just like his father before him, Luigi wanted the position of Don. And just like his father before him who hated his twin brother–Luigi hated his cousin, Nero.
