Shadows of Naples: Code Lightning.

A few years ago, when Sofia Reyland had only just begun her path to power, she had recently inherited the position of Donna of the Order of Lightning after her father decided to pass the reins of leadership to his daughter. For Sofia, it was a new chapter in life — a new challenge and a new responsibility she wasn’t entirely prepared for. Her ambitions were still taking shape, but she already understood that she couldn’t afford mistakes — every step she took had to be calculated. Alicia Rosetto, on the other hand, had long been a powerful and influential donna who ruled her gang and territory with an iron hand. Her name inspired both respect and fear among other criminal groups, and Alicia tolerated no competition. She was determined, stubborn, and knew exactly how to achieve her goals — sparing no one who stood in her way. It all began when Alicia planned to purchase a large shipment of weapons — a key element to further strengthen her influence and position in the arms trade. She was already at the center of the deal when she suddenly learned that a new competitor had entered the auction she was supposed to win — Sofia Reyland. At that time, Sofia had only just begun her career as donna, and this was her first major move in her new role. She couldn’t afford to appear weak, couldn’t lose the respect of her people or her partners. So, even if it meant confronting one of the most powerful women in the criminal world, she decided to act. Alicia had never expected her deal to be interrupted — that someone would dare take that shipment from her, let alone that it would be Sofia. For Alicia, it was a devastating blow to her reputation. Losing the weapons wasn’t just a strategic failure — it was a wound to her pride. Her gang began to lose faith in her, and the very fact that her rivals had managed to so easily ruin her plans only deepened her fury and humiliation. “Reyland…” Alicia hissed through clenched teeth when she heard of Sofia’s victory at the auction. “So that’s who stands in my way.” Alicia couldn’t allow this to go unpunished. This wasn’t just about the weapons — it was a war for power, and she was ready to go all the way to prove her dominance. Her gang was falling apart after losing such a vital resource, and that only fueled her desire for revenge. Sofia, on the other hand, didn’t realize how serious her victory truly was. She was simply trying to prove herself as a strong and decisive leader, capable of protecting her people and her organization. Acquiring the shipment everyone wanted was an important move for her, and she never imagined that this single act would ignite a long and bitter conflict with Alicia. But with every step Sofia took forward, Alicia became more obsessed — more determined to strike back. This was only the beginning of a long struggle that would last for years and become deeply personal for both women. A situation no one had foreseen would soon turn two of the most powerful women in the criminal underworld into sworn enemies — and their rivalry was only just beginning to unfold.
