Blood Money Betrayal — Michael Paul

In the neon-drenched underbelly of New York City, where shadows hold secrets and loyalty comes with a price tag, an assassin's bullet tears apart a fragile peace. The only son of a feared mafia don is left for dead-a tragic mistake that will ignite a war between the Vitalli and Marmarella crime families, if the truth ever gets out.Behind closed doors, treachery festers. A cunning wife weaves her web of deception. An underboss risks everything for forbidden desire. A physician harbours darkness beneath his healing hands. And somewhere in the labyrinth of betrayal, a brother remains missing, presumed dead.Caught in the crossfire, a young man, Joey Vitalli, orphaned by violence, must navigate a world where fathers become targets and mentors become monsters. His innocence-a casualty in a game where everyone is expendable.In a family where blood ties everything together, one estranged member triggers a transaction so perverse it challenges the underworld's unwritten code. Some debts require more than money to settle.As the body count rises and alliances crumble, razor-sharp dialogue cuts through the tension like a stiletto.This unflinching portrait of mob life drags you into smoke-filled back rooms where fortunes change hands and fates are sealed with a nod. Where star-crossed lovers dare to dream against impossible odds, and where redemption remains eternally out of reach.In this savage symphony of violence and dark humour that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go, there is only one law--the law of the streets.Some stories ask you to choose between right and wrong. This one asks only: How far would you go to protect what's yours?Turn the page. The family is waiting.
