Chapter 13 - The price Of Revenge

"Boss, Mary is here to see you," Snake, Vito's right-hand man, announced respectfully.

He stood behind the wide glass window of his luxurious suite, his sharp eyes fixed on the dazzling city lights below.

"Let her in," he replied calmly,Snake bowed and stepped out.

A slow, knowing grin spread across Vito's lips."So… she is finally ready to find herself."

Moments later, the door opened again and Mary walked in quietly behind Snake,without a word, he left them alone.

Mary's gaze swept across the suite,Everything about it screamed power_ expensive furniture, dark masculine tones, and an atmosphere that felt both dangerous and commanding.

"What do you want, Mary?"

Vito's deep voice echoed through the room.

She lifted her chin slightly"I came to learn how to free myself from this weak body… and achieve my revenge," she said in a distant, emotionless tone.

Vito walked away from the window and moved toward the couch.

He sat down slowly, crossing one leg over the other.

"I came because you asked me to."

He nodded, his calculating eyes scanning her from head to toe,Her body was fragile.

Her spirit… broken but burning.

"Letting go of this weak body means making it strong," he said.

"How, Godfather?"

"Through training,through pain,through discipline."

"Training… like martial arts?" she asked.

"And many other things."

Mary inhaled slowly."As long as it will make me stronger… I am ready for anything."

"Snake," Vito called.

The door opened instantly and Snake rushed in.

With just a slight nod from his boss, he understood and left again.

Mary remained standing where she was, stiff and uncertain.

A few seconds later, two stunning yet intimidating women walked into the room.

Their presence alone radiated danger.

"This is Cora and Larisa," Vito said."They will help you achieve your goals."

Mary turned to face them."Nice to meet you," she said quietly.

They only nodded, their expressions serious and unreadable.

"You may leave," Vito dismissed them.

The women walked out immediately.

Silence filled the room again.

"Before your training begins," Vito said, "there is a test you must pass to qualify to be among us."

Mary's brows drew together slightly."What test?"

Vito leaned back comfortably."I will have to sleep with you… to see how useful you can be. Consider it the price for my help."

His eyes stayed fixed on her face, searching for fear, shame… hesitation.

But Mary did not react.

"Should we start now?" she asked calmly.

A grin tugged at his lips.

"Now?"

"Yes. I owe you my life… and my body. Do whatever you want with it."

Without waiting for his response, she began to strip.

She removed her shirt and reached for her trousers.

"Stop."

His command was sharp,She froze instantly.

"You really want to give yourself to me?" he asked, studying her.

A faint smile appeared on her lips — the first real expression he had seen from her since he saved her.

"It has been a long time since I felt anything," she said softly."If it must be with you… then so be it."

Vito's gaze darkened."Put your clothes back on."

Without protest, she obeyed.

"You passed the test," he said.

Confusion flickered briefly in her eyes.

"But we didn't—"

"I wanted to see how far you were willing

to go to achieve your revenge," he interrupted.

She nodded slowly, her face returning to its usual emptiness.

"You will also change your name," he continued."Mary sounds weak."

She accepted it without question."Will you choose one for me?"

"Yes. But you will earn it after your training."

He paused before adding,"You will also change your face."

Her hand moved instinctively to her cheek.

"My face?"

"It is too soft… too innocent. Strength does not live in such a mask."

Silence stretched between them.

"You may go. Your training begins

tomorrow."Mary bowed slightly and left.

From that day onward, her transformation began,She rebuilt her body,She hardened her heart,She changed her appearance… her voice… her manner… even her soul.

The girl named Mary slowly disappeared.

In her place rose a new woman Luna— dangerous, feared and deadly.

A name chosen by Vito himself And soon… she became the most skilled and terrifying member of his empire.
