Chapter 26 Behind Veils And Silk

• CHAPTER 26: Behind veils and Silk
• Luigi arrived at Nero’s mansion just past dawn, impeccably dressed, the faintest hint of cologne trailing him like a whisper of intent. The guards were stiff as they opened the iron gates. They didn't like him. They never had. He noticed all this, but he didn't care. They could never deny him entry. He was a member of the council. A man of the ruling house, and the don's cousin.
• He rarely visited the mansion. This was not out of the ordinary because he was not close to his cousin. He never got along with Nero. There was always a friction and tension that was always simmering. But recently, it had begun to manifest.
