Stopping outside the house, I relax when I see the car, knowing it means she is still here. After finding Alan and Richard had died quickly, I realised I should have listened to Dario.I thought we would catch up to her with them, but they died far quicker than the others had. Stepping from the car, I begin to walk towards the house."First two bodies are cleared up." I glance at Hugh and nod. If she wants to kill everyone who hurt her, I will let her, but it should be in a place where there are no connections to her.My guys have had their work cut out, ensuring no one speaks about what they had seen or about her. Our inside guy with the police is working on ensuring reports disappear. I walk through the house, glancing into the room and stopping at a closed door. I open it and stop when I see her."Lucia." I watch as she jumps up, spinning to face me, her hands holding out the gun. Raising my hands slightly, I step into the room. She's a mess, and I need to get her away from here ri

Waking, It's still early. Today, I need to get answers. I need to know everything. Getting dressed, I walk out and stop, Luca runs towards me."Luca, no!" Iz laughs and grabs him. "Sorry, we're waiting for Matteo to get back. How are you feeling?" She smiles at me, waiting."Fine, just confused and lost." She nods and hugs me. Walking over, I sit down with her."You will be fine. You just need time to readjust to this new life." She smiles and sighs. "It's hard. I grew up knowing the brothers and their sisters. I knew about the family, the Cosa Nostra, but even now, I struggle every now and then."I don't respond; I just watch as Luca plays, and she talks about Matteo and his current position in the parliament. Elmay walks over and holds out food while smiling at me."I haven't seen you in ages." I hadn't, which is weird."You were busy, Marco said you need to eat." She smiles and walks away."Luca, here." Confused by her tone, I look at Iz and watch as she pulls Luca to her side. Her

After hiding away, I heard shouting, doors slamming, and Matteo arguing with Iz, insisting they leave now. So, I can only assume whatever they all spoke about has caused issues.Climbing from the bed, my feet sink into the comfort of the rug. I stay standing for a moment, waiting for everything to quiet down before inching closer to the door. Pulling it open, Hugh is sitting there, as always."He's still in his office." His words are quiet. I don't question how he knows I am going to Marco. Instead, I walk past him and hear him follow.Opening the door, I step in. Marco stays leaning back in a chair, his tie is pulled down, and he stares at the ceiling. Stepping in more, I close the door. His head lowers until he finds me standing waiting."Lucia..." He sighs, and I walk closer."You can't keep refusing to answer questions, Marco, not when it's my life or I walk." I take another step towards him."I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to control you." His words are quiet."Why would you

I wake up early but without Marco by my side. I'm still unsure what is happening or why I agreed to stay. It was a foolish choice to make so quickly. Yet, with Marco, quick is the only option I have. His presence makes me rush.After showering and dressing, I walk out. I want to find Marco. I look towards Hugh, but he doesn't speak."Really? Usually, you're quick to tell me where he is." I laugh slightly."Right now, he needs space, Miss Salvadore." Hugh's words are simple."I can just search every room until I find him." I begin walking to the office, with Hugh following at a distance. Opening the door, it is empty. I continue to walk around the house, looking into rooms.I didn't think of the Gym. I also don't want to walk into a room that is his mum's or dad's. My thoughts stop as I bump into someone, stepping back I look at Dario."And where are you taking Hugh for a walk to?" He grins at me, and I laugh."It wouldn't be a walk if he just told me where Marco was." Turning, I glare

Waking alone, I look around the room. I'm still in Marco's room, which is unexpected. I thought he would have carried me back to mine.Sighing, I climb from the bed, knowing I need to eat. Glancing around the floor, I don't see my dress. Walking to a door, I pull it open and stop. Bathroom, that won't help. Opening another door, I gasp.It's almost as big as the bedroom. On one side of the room are Marco's clothes and footwear. I stare at the opposite side of the room, becoming confused when I see my clothes there.Stepping in, I look at the mirror that covers the entire wall. There is a large seating area in the centre as well. Grabbing some of my underwear and a dress, I get ready and leave.Walking down, I hear noise. I stop when I see Matteo with Iz."He's in his office." He smiles at me, and I quickly walk past and go into the office."Afternoon, little sis." Dario hugs me and laughs before leaving. He's so freaking crazy."Go to the kitchen and get something to eat, please, litt
