Giovanni

William pulls into the driveway and sighs. We chased her as far as the traffic cameras could track, but we eventually reached a dead end when she took a back road with no cameras. She’s smart. I give her that and she is also striking to look at. I can see why William is enamored with her beauty, even though she is a thief.

“What did she say to you?”

“Huh?” I furrow my brows.

“Brandi said she found you two together. Did she try to sleep with you?” He asks through clenched teeth. I can tell the thought of that pisses him off.

“She walked in and pretended to be lost, then she fainted so I would catch her. I told her to drop the act and Fenice walked in. I don’t know if she would have tried.” My voice trails off as I see him getting noticeably angrier.

“Don’t worry. You’ll find her.”

“How many men will she have fucked and used by then?” His eyes flash angrily.

“What does it matter?”

“They are touching something that’s mine—” His voice trails off when he realizes what he’s saying.
