Chapter 71

•KINLEY•

I felt like a coward. I didn't want to face Billie after what had happened to her.

So I sent flowers and a card once I was released from the hospital.

Gianni seemed to be keeping his distance from me, and it made me feel a bit hurt. But I also knew he was busy trying to find Giovanni's killer and Talon.

Gianni would disappear downstairs for hours at night, I could only imagine what he was doing to Talon.

"Kin?"

I tightened my hold on my warm cup of tea as Luca walked in.

"How are you feeling?"

I shrugged, "Okay, I guess. But I keep having nightmares of him coming at me."

"He can't get to you. I've been down there, he's not getting out."

I looked over at Luca, "Why is Gianni keeping him alive for so long? Look what happened with Dom."

Luca sighed and leaned over, dropping a hand to my knee, "I know it's scary. But Gianni wants him to suffer. We both do."

I looked down at my tea cup when the tears formed in my eyes, "I've always believed that it's not our place to take a life.
