Chapter 12 - THE HEIR WHO CHOSE HIS OWN LIFE
Elliot made a decision that surprised everyone.
He would not enter the Russo family's criminal operations.
He wanted no role in intimidation.
No role in illegal deals.
No role in the violent business that had shaped his childhood.
Instead, he would focus on the theater and other lawful community projects.
Dominic listened.
Then nodded.
“It's your life.”
Elliot stared.
For a moment, he looked almost suspicious.
“You're not angry?”
Dominic shook his head.
“No.”
Elliot exhaled.
“Good.”
Norah smiled from the doorway.
Later, Elliot told her:
“I thought he'd fight me.”
She nodded.
“He might have, once.”
Elliot looked thoughtful.
“People can change.”
“Sometimes.”
He smiled.
“I'd like to believe that.”

Norah took his hand.
“Me too.”
