Memoirs of the Real Gianna Ricci The Family Business
A novella by Leo Ormonde
Gianna Ricci shapes outcomes. With silence, precision, and perfectly arranged systems, she turns legacy into empire.
Power flows through the structure she designed: deliberate, seamless, unacknowledged. These pages offer no apology and no disguise. They carry her voice — measured, lethal, unforgettable.

The Story
‘Part memoir. Part manual. Part farewell.’
Memoirs of the Real Gianna Ricci offers a rare and meticulously curated insight into a mind that reshaped an entire world without ever raising its voice.
The story unfolds exactly as she planned.

“A necessary real for anyone working in high-level negotiation, asset shielding, or emotional removal”

Meet the Editor
Leo Ormonde never asked to become the curator of criminal memoirs.
The first file arrived without a return address. The second came with a warning. By the third, he had started saving them in labelled folders – cross-referenced, timestamped, redacted, restored. At some point, the system became a series. The series became a responsibility.
His role is never to explain. Only to arrange. To preserve what arrives and make sense of what shouldn’t. He signs everything the same way: Just the Editor.
‘The story unfolds exactly as she planned. Compiled under encrypted instruction. Delivered in fragments, some with timestamps already removed. No edits requested. No permission granted. Just a single message: “Print what makes sense.’
– Leo Ormond
‘The best blackmail insurance we’ve ever read. Annotated. Highlighted. Filed.’
