The story has been completed with a final ending.

Part 2 👉: At a private Carbone garden luncheon, three-year-old Lily crouched beside an open cooler holding a cold soda can when Gerald began snapping a leather belt against the stone only inches from the child.

Lily had done nothing more than reach for a drink because she was thirsty.

Yet Gerald treated the can as though she had taken something valuable, while Evelyn openly humiliated the terrified little girl instead of stopping him.

Valentina crossed the lawn the moment she saw what was happening.

Seconds later, Gerald was buried beneath the wreckage of the picnic cabinet, Evelyn had crashed through the decorative lattice, and every capo at the luncheon had gone silent.

But Gerald's reaction to one ordinary soda can was far too extreme.

Why was he so desperate to make Lily put that specific drink back?

Why did Evelyn seem completely certain that she could degrade the Mafia Boss's daughter in front of an entire garden full of witnesses?

And why did Gerald keep his eyes on the can even after Valentina had already put him on the ground?

What looked like cruelty over a stolen drink was hiding something else.

And before the luncheon ended, Valentina would discover that the can Lily accidentally picked up had disturbed a plan that had been waiting beneath her own estate for years.
