— The End of This Name, For Now —
To those of you who made it here,
to the final page,
to the final scar stitched shut—
thank you.
You didn't just read UNDER THE ROMANO NAME,
you survived it with me.
Every betrayal, every whispered vow,
every bullet that didn't miss.
You saw them bloody and unrepentant.
You watched them rise from ash,
mouths full of vengeance, eyes full of love.
And still—you stayed.
This story was never soft. It was never simple.
But if you felt something—
if a line made your heart ache,
if a scene made you pause and breathe deeper,
then we did what we came to do.
Thank you for walking through this world I built.
For loving the monsters in silk suits,
for seeing the softness beneath their cruelty,
for understanding that even power bleeds.
This isn't goodbye.
This is just the part where the curtain drops
and the room goes quiet.
But the Romano name?
It still echoes.
Somewhere.
Always.
