## Camorra Chronicles

### Twisted Pride\*

\*/Some of the facts and scenes are presented in BBTP./

Samuel threatens Danilo Mancini to treat his sister right on their first wedding night. It's implied he doesn't like his soon-to-be brother-in-law a lot. He brawls with Serafina as she blames him for embarrassing her in front of her fiancé. The twins are shown to be very close to each other.

On the day of Serafina's wedding with Danilo when Samuel escorts her to the church, their car is attacked by Remo Falcone and Fabiano. Samuel is shot in the arm and Serafina escapes into the woods. He is deeply devastated as his sister is kidnapped. He wants to attack Las Vegas and save his twin but Dante is totally against it knowing it's a suicide mission. When the Outfit's men see on the camera live how Serafina is cut on the wrist and is given the notorious Camorra choice: being tortured or giving her body by herself, Samuel cannot calm himself. The last straw for him is his private video chat with his sister when Remo implies that it's possible he already has had his way with her and kisses her in front of the camera. Samuel decides to breach the Falcone mansion with a few of his trustworthy comrades. They try to jump over the fence using a ladder. Their plan ends with a bloody bath: his soldiers are severely tortured and killed and Samuel is taken into captivity. However, Remo decides against murdering him as Serafina begs him much to Nino Falcone's dismay. Samuel is made to listen to his sister's screaming as he thinks she is tortured. Little did he know that this is another game played by the Camorra's Capo and Fina is safe and sound. Sam is returned to the Outfit beaten to a pulp. Dante is furious with him for not following his orders but he spares him for the sake of Ines Mione but also he himself cannot take the life of his own nephew remembering how he saw Sam making his first steps. Samuel's own guilt is enough punishment for him. Samuel is deeply shaken when The Miones receives the bloody sheet with Remo's note. He blames himself thinking his sister is raped because of his failed trial to save her.

Later when Serafina returns home she tells her brother the truth that she hasn't been tortured and unsuccessfully tries to explain that she is not raped. As Fina rejects Danilo the latter is given Sofia as a replacement bride. However, he decides to use the situation making Samuel marry his little sister Emma who is in a wheelchair.

On Pietro's fiftieth birthday the family finds out about Serafina's pregnancy. Samuel cannot stand the thought that his twin carries Remo's baby and asks her to abort it which she declines. Later when he learns that she is expecting twins he starts gradually adapting to the situation and even paints the nursery, When Nevio and Greta are born, however, Samuel can't look at the boy without seeing Remo much less lifting him in his arms. He used to only help Greta. His reluctance toward Nevio starts splitting in his relationship with Serafina.

When Adamo Falcone is captured by the Outfit Samuel is among his torturers along with Dante, Pietro, and Danilo. The day after Remo exchanges himself for his little brother. Samuel again tortures him together with the others. Later that night Serafina appears and shoots her twin in the leg with a sedative. When he wakes up he sees his sister holding a gun against their family. Samuel is heartbroken seeing Fina leaving everything behind for Remo and his children. He and the others blame Dante for letting her go which causes a temporary split between The Cavallaros and The Miones.

In the time between Serafina's escapade and her wedding, Samuel doesn't reply to her messages. At some point, he receives a phone call from Remo who invites him to the wedding promising he would be safe in Las Vegas. Samuel discusses with Dante first and decides to visit the event. He forgives Serafina as he sees that she is happy and Remo would take care of her. In BBTP is revealed that Samuel took several photos at the wedding.

### Twisted Bonds

When Samuel visits Remo and Serafina's wedding he has a nagging conversation with Nino. Samuel expresses his surprise how Fina let her children be near monsters like the Falcone brother. He seems polite towards Kiara Falcone.

## Fragile Longing

Samuel got drunk in the night when Serafina escapes. In the morning he talks with his little sister Sofia and he implies Fina betrayed them. Samuel neglects Sofia in the following years as he misses his twin. Sam and Danilo are in favor of another attack on the Camorra but Dante and Pietro are against it. Samuel and Emma's engagement is announced at Sofia's sixteenth birthday party. The future brothers-in-law glare daggers at each other but it is not known for what. Samuel is a guest at Danilo's birthday party where he is dressed like a cowboy. He reluctantly gives Serafina's phone number to Sofia. It is implied they are not so close anymore as Sam rarely contacts Fina. Samuel declares he will not betray the Outfit again for Serafina. At Danilo and Sofia's wedding, he is seen chatting with someone and sending heart emojis. Danilo confronts him and blames Samuel for having affairs and not caring for Emma.

In the epilogue of the book he is mentioned to go on a hunting weekend trip together with Pietro, Danilo, and Marco.
