GRANDPARENTS:
Giovanni Moretti (77) – The retired Don. Stone-faced, terrifying aura, speaks in cold sentences that sound like death threats even when he's complimenting you. But secretly proud of Serena.
Alessia Moretti (75) – Nonna with a mafia wife past and a heart of gold. Cooks like she's feeding a small army, dotes on Serena like she's the second coming, and throws slippers like knives when the boys act up.
ELDER UNCLE (AND HIS FAMILY)
Adriano Moretti (55)
– Former consigliere, now handles political blackmail and influence. Thinks in chessboard metaphors.
Adelina (52) – Cold beauty, always dressed to kill. If looks could kill, her eyeliner would be an assassination weapon.
Lorenzo (32) – Calm, composed, handles arms deals and private security networks. Could disarm a bomb or a person with the same expression.
Enzo (26) – Runs high-stakes laundering operations. Slick as oil, flirts with danger (and everything else), always wears too much cologne.
Rocco (20) – Short fuse. Loves knives. Says shit like "I'll handle it" then disappears for three hours and comes back bloodstained.
YOUNGER UNCLE (AND HIS FAMILY)
Federico Moretti (44)
– Runs the legitimate businesses—hotels, casinos, and corporate laundering. Smiles like a CEO, lies like a politician.
Lucia (41) – Sweet but observant. Keeps track of everyone like a silent hawk. Runs the family's charity fronts with an iron clipboard.
Antonio (20) – Tech genius. Tiny camera in his lapel, lives in paranoia. Sleeps with three firewalls.
Marco (18) – Serena's age, snarky and brilliant. They bond fast, trading insults and trauma bonding over being the "young ones."
Dario (10) – Precious chaos gremlin. Curious, bubbly, a Leo-reincarnate. Latches onto Serena like she's his personal superhero.
A/N:
Since I couldn't bring Leo back from the dead (trust me, I wanted to), I did the next best thing—I gave Serena a cousin who feels like another Leo.
Not a replacement.
Leo can never be replaced.
Not even on Wattpad. I'm not that heartless.
(Especially since my real-life little brother is around Leo's age, so yeah... feelings were felt.)
Next up: Full-blown family bonding chaos.
I'll update tomorrow—I've got an exam (send prayers and caffeine).
And no, I'm not ending the book yet. Serena's story isn't over. Not by a long shot. I just feel like she deserves a proper and nice ending. So yeah, maybe we'll reach 100 chapters. (Excluding the bonus chapters and epilogue). But I need you all to tell me whether it's fine or not—'cause I just don't want it to get boring...
Stay tuned!!
