The long awaited revenge

By HammadPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

In the fictional Prohibition era of the 1920s, on the lawless island of Lawless, a young man named Angelo Lagusa was lived a peaceful life with his family. However, their tranquility was shattered when the Vanetti mafia family, led by Don Vincent Vanetti, ruthlessly killed Angelo's parents and younger brother in a mafia dispute.

Consumed by grief and driven by a thirst for revenge, Angelo changed his name to Avilio Bruno and disappeared for seven years. In 1931, he received a letter that revealed the names of the people responsible for his family's murder—the members of the Vanetti family. Fuelled by his burning desire for vengeance, Avilio returned to Lawless.

Using an alias, Avilio infiltrated the Vanetti family by approaching Nero Vanetti, the son of Don Vincent and the family's heir apparent. Avilio strategically gained Nero's trust by saving him from a rival gang's assassination attempt, leading Nero to offer Avilio his protection.

As Avilio delved deeper into the Vanetti family, he formed an unlikely friendship with Nero and his loyal friend, Vanno Clemente. Together, they faced various challenges, including internal power struggles within the mafia, rival gangs, and the corrupt law enforcement.

Avilio also encountered other significant figures in Lawless, such as Fango, a deranged and unpredictable gangster, and Serpente, a rival gang leader seeking to expand his territory. Avilio maneuvered through these dangerous alliances, carefully playing his cards to ensure his vengeance remained intact.

With each passing day, Avilio's resolve grew stronger, but he also discovered the complexities of the mafia world. He found himself torn between his thirst for revenge and the genuine connections he formed with the Vanetti family members, including Nero's sister, Fio, and his childhood friend, Corteo.

Corteo, who had helped Avilio in his quest for revenge, became increasingly burdened by guilt for his involvement in the Vanetti family's criminal activities. As Avilio's closest confidant, Corteo wrestled with his loyalty to his friend and his desire to escape the vicious cycle of violence.

As tensions escalated, alliances shifted, and blood was spilled, Avilio meticulously executed his plan for vengeance, manipulating the Vanetti family's internal conflicts to his advantage. One by one, he eliminated the members responsible for his family's murder, including those at the highest levels of power.

However, Avilio's path of revenge had unintended consequences. The violence and betrayal he orchestrated sparked a war between the Vanetti family and the Orco family, a rival mafia group. As Lawless descended into chaos, Avilio realized that his quest for vengeance had far-reaching repercussions, affecting innocent lives and even endangering those he had grown to care about.

In a final confrontation, Avilio faced Nero, the last remaining member of the Vanetti family on his list. They engaged in a deadly showdown that revealed the truth behind Avilio's motives and the extent of his manipulation. As the truth unfolded, Avilio's thirst for revenge clashed with the genuine bond he had formed with Nero.

In the end, Avilio's pursuit of vengeance cost him dearly. The cycle of violence had consumed him, leaving behind a trail of destruction and shattered relationships. As Lawless began to rebuild, Avilio's actions were not forgotten, serving as a cautionary tale of the dangers of revenge and the devastating consequences it can bring.

As the curtain fell on Lawless, the city and its inhabitants were forever scarred by the events that unfolded during those fateful 91 days, leaving behind a legacy of tragedy and a reminder of the dark forces that can consume even the strongest of hearts. And here the end of the beautiful story.
