LORENZO’S POV

"Where are we meeting?" I demanded the second the call connected, my voice sharp and laced with fury.

My hands curled into tight fists at my sides, knuckles whitening as my blood burned hot in my veins. The thought of Elena and Megan in the hands of those bastards made my stomach churn.

How dare they? How fucking dare they take my woman and my daughter? Were they out of their damn minds? Just when I have finally found her after six agonizing years of thinking she is dead?

I could feel my breath coming hard and fast as I fought against the urge to shatter the phone in my grip. I wanted nothing more than to reach through the line and rip them apart, piece by fucking piece. But I couldn’t afford to lose it. Not now.

I needed to play this smart. I had to be careful, or I’d never see them alive again. I know that our world can be dark and people going back on their words was something easily done.

I don't trust people that easily either and that's why even as I showed the i

    LORENZO'S POVThe drive back to the temporary house I got for myself was full of tension. I could feel Rico itching to ask questions but he held back. I think even he understood that I was too pissed off to hold a conversation. That fucking bastard! How dare he play me like a fool? Is this a fucking game to him? I hate it when someone plays me. I am known to be the player, not the other way round. I hope he took my last message to him seriously because the moment I lay my hands on him, I will shoot him in the face. What makes me even mad is knowing that Megan and our daughter are still in his hands and that motherfucker can do absolutely anything to them. That thought alone is enough to make my heart tremble with fear and desperation. After what feels like eternity, the car pulls off outside the iron gates. Hugo somehow managed to rent a house for a month and get security following the previous attack. “ Get some rest. Tomorrow, we turn the city upside down to find your mistress

    ANGELO’S POVI couldn't believe that someone would dare kidnap my sister. This meant either of two things: either they didn’t fear Lorenzo or they wanted something from him, and my sister was just a pawn.Why did I think that whoever took her was because of Lorenzo? Because, after all, he was rich, had many assets, and was powerful—meaning he had a lot of enemies. Being a low-key member of the cosa nostra is like icing on the cake. But how did they come to know about his relationship with my sister considering they separated six years ago?Could this person be from back then when they were still married? Six years ago, it happened again. They had taken her because of him. Lets just say,his little bitch orchestrated everything. I would not be surprised if this whole kidnapping fiasco is someone retaliating against him. Come to think of it,it was him they called to give the address of where he would find them.What I couldn’t take was the fact that they thought they could take both m

My throat burns from shouting, and my heart aches with fear. What have they done to my baby?“Elena? Give me back my baby!” I shout again, slamming my hands against the door.

    MEGAN’S POVI felt a knot of fear tighten in my stomach when the man smiled after hearing the gunshots. At such a moment, I expected him to be shaken, maybe even worried, but instead, he grinned, as if everything was going according to his plan."What's happening? Where are you taking me?" I shouted, struggling to resist, but he only chuckled and gave me a look that sent chills down my spine.It was a look of superiority, like a parent watching a child, a toddler, who thought they could get away with something they had no business doing. It was condescending, and in that moment, I felt small—like a fish trapped in a tank. His tank. I could see the way he looked at me, knowing I was struggling, knowing I was going to die. And there was nothing I could do to change it. All my feeble attempts at resistance would amount to nothing.I was afraid. Terrified. Not for myself, but for Elena. I didn't want to die, not without knowing she would be okay."Please, Mr. Gambino," I begged, my voice

She avoided looking at me, and that hurt even more.But who was this man, and why had he taken my wife and child?“Who are you?” I asked, trying to concentrate.If I wanted to save them, I needed to think straight and not be distracted.“Oh, you don’t know me? Not surprising, though, because I made sure to keep a low profile until I was strong enough to take you on. Six years, Lorenzo!
