Salvetti accessed the file in an attempt to extend Carter's life. There were some color images and several blacks and white ones within.

"What is this?"

Andrew's personal note. That was the response, with Travis frowning at Carter's muddled description of the game of Uno. "He just received this and thought you'd like it," she said.

Salvetti shot an icy glance at Travis. Andrew was arbitrary in his information sharing, only doing so when he felt like it. It was as if Salvetti weren't Capo bound and was simply another regular soldier. He decided to put it out of his mind for the time being and instead concentrate on the photographs. The first two depicted a severely underweight adolescent girl, her hair almost in a ponytail. She looked up at the man next to her with a frown.

Salvetti speculated that the guy was Raphael's second in command, even though he was out of frame. When she looked at anyone else, it was as if she were plotting out cunning methods to eliminate him and dispose of h

    Several days later, Lanaya became disoriented in the big house. She didn't want to cause anybody else's feelings to be damaged by having another "drama," no matter how well-intentioned the folks were. Thus, she bypassed the ladies' room in favor of the men's, only to discover it deserted.She exhaled heavily and gave Carter a perplexed look. He had joked with her that although the guys did work every day, the night shift workers normally spent the day sleeping or working out."Graveyard shift?" A query was raised by her. She had no idea how she would handle everyone if Carter was telling the truth, and more men were working around the property than she had seen in the rec room during her visits."We don't stop working simply because the sun has set. We may be attacked at any minute."She acknowledged that with a nod. Could it be that the individuals she met liked her, but others she hadn't met yet probably felt she was too rigid? Is that why, when she woke up, he shouted those nasty t

    The man sat back on his haunches and scowled at her. For some reason, the presence of this man made it difficult for Lanaya to take a deep breath. Until Salvetti lost it, the only persons who had come near her proximity were Salvetti and Salviana, and sometimes Travis and Carter.With the man's raised hand, Lanaya's eyes shut reflexively. She held her breath, praying against hope that he wouldn't take advantage of her confidence. She felt faint and weak since oblivion was so close at hand. She flinched as his fingers gently trailed down her head. Her eyes opened again, and she looked up into his.Today's extended eye contact went a bit too far.She took in a breath, despite the dampness in her mouth. He had no intention of harming her.You undoubtedly are Lanaya. In a low voice, he said. "My name is Barrow."She gave him the side eye and grimaced. Barrow? I seem to recall that Blondie–Claire called Sasha once when she struggled to move something big.Do you happen to be Sasha's -?Yes

    Carter saw her waiting for him in the corridor, looking at the limp bundle in her arms. Lanaya panicked despite being aware of the proper course of action. Is dog food even available there? Is having a dog a possibility if Salvetti? Will the rest of them? Suppose she made a mistake and it passed away.How tragic would it be if it passed away even if she hadn't made a mistake?As Carter approached to stand at her side, she felt his presence but could not tear her gaze from the baby in her arms. Was it a lost cause?Just take a look at it. Carter's enthusiasm made her leap out of her skin. "Puppyhood has arrived at your doorstep. How would you honor him with a moniker?"The pupils of Lanaya's eyes dilated. She, too, had to come up with a moniker, right?She stared at the package helplessly, as if the puppy would eventually extend its slobbery snout and give her instructions."Consider it from this angle." Carter gave it another go, this time swallowing with apprehension. Did she do some

    A group of men and women in aprons were currently chopping and peeling veggies. A big, serious-looking lady was stirring a huge pot on the stove.Her apron was different from everyone else's. Hers was a pink ruffled item with an image of a bloody knife. Her hair was bunched up, and she was barking orders at everyone. The rest of them were busy peeling and chopping to satisfy her needs. There's a bottle of seasonings, some carrots cut up over there, a dash of salt, and some egg whites being whisked in a pan.When I said anything, Lanaya blinked. Who exactly was this intimidating woman?The woman saw them and glared menacingly at Carter. There was a pause in Lanaya's respiration.That's it, "You will not take these cookies, Tarantino!" Her words echoed around the kitchen, and Carter laughed nervously.As in, "I'm not here to take the cookies, madam chef."Is it you, the cook, madam? Was this the pizza-night woman the guys, had looked so afraid of? To Lanaya's understanding, this made pe

    The man acknowledged me with a nod. "A trip into town for dog supplies is for tomorrow. There's a water bowl and a food bowl here. A leash, perhaps." Carton gave a shrug of his shoulders.An intuitive scowl on Lanaya's face as she deliberated deeply. "Is a b-bed an option? Alternatively, t-toys""Those, too, are on the way. Even if I can't tell you where it is."The dog scratched the floor when it attempted to lick the bowl clean. Carter walked in there, loaded it with water, and set it back down. Next, he put the toilet seat down. The dog drank clumsily, gulping noises that echoed through the room and spraying water everywhere.May I ask you a question? When Carter had returned to his original post beside the entrance, he posed the question. Without meeting my gaze, she nodded. "No need to respond if you don't want to. When did you start stuttering again?"A lump formed in her throat. The woman's ears began to ring with the sudden surge of blood. She gripped the blankets tightly."I

    Salvetti saw the sight on her face and rushed over to be at her side. He slowly wrapped his arms over her shoulders and pulled her close to him, hugging her gently but firmly enough to calm her nerves. He positioned himself so that she might exit the room if desired.Being held now made her want to get away less urgently.The dog sensed her shift in disposition and hopped onto the bed. This was presumably his attempt to reassure her that she could rely on him just as much.It was met with the question, "What was that?" The sound of Salvetto's words resounded in his heart, bringing her some relief. Now that she had a clearer view, Lanaya could relax a bit."Demons, uh, sorry. They... they -" Frustrated tears welled behind her eyes as she fought to find the right words to describe how she felt."Don't rush things. She felt calmer after he had spoken to her. It's not like you have to do something because of external pressure.Minutes passed, and Lanaya still couldn't understand what made

    After briefly discussing something with Salviana in Lanaya, Salvetti entered the little dining room. Salviana had run out of criticism and yelled at him to leave the room before slamming the door. He was about to shoot right then, but he refrained.Already late, they had missed dinner.A seat to his right was unoccupied as he took his place at the head of the table. The disinterested-looking Doc sat to his left. Salviana would take the empty seat next to Doc.Barrow, Travis, Claire, Sasha, Parker, and Darren were all seated at the table. There is a total of eight people at the table, but only six are seated. Salvetti frequently sat alone since the seat directly opposite him was reserved for the Don or Capo.During her brief awareness period, Lanaya became close to everyone sitting there. At dinner, he cared only that she be in her most relaxed state.What's the holdup?" As he walked, Doc moaned.Shortly, they'll be at the door. When Salvetti responded, Doc sent him an angry look. Salv

    Sasha ate more than anybody at the table. Many of the females in her group were taken aback by her pregnancy. Sasha, like many of the other ladies, had a troubled history.A long time ago, they had discovered her during a raid on an enemy whorehouse. When she was a teenager, she became drugged and severely injured. Sadly, after examining her thoroughly, Doc informed her that her injuries would prevent her from having children.Then, after 10 years, she awoke feeling queasy and irritable; for the first time in history, Doc had been incorrect.Salvetti's attention was drawn by a sudden movement, and he turned to see. A slice of garlic bread, coated with Claire's handmade butter, was presented to Lanaya by Travis. Lanaya tore off a tiny piece and gave Travis a surprised look after taking an even smaller mouthful. After giving her a mocking grin, Travis turned back to Claire.Then Salvetti witnessed a scene he probably shouldn't have seen. Another chunk of bread was broken off by Lanaya,

    In a little coffee shop on the outskirts of Palermo, Mattheo was conversing with his daughter as they sat opposite each other. Lanaya was adamant about sampling every dish Italy's food had to offer, and she was more than glad to take everyone else along with her on her mission. Elisabetta was gently given a slice of tiramisu while sitting on Doc's lap as the two sat side by side. Dimitri was standing opposite Mattheo, busily tapping his phone.Salvetti took a spoonful of Panna Cotta and presented it to his wife, who immediately let out a delighted groan after taking a bite.Even though Mattheo would never acknowledge it to Salvetti, he was really pleased for the couple. It was clear that the two youngsters were head over heels in love with one another. Lanaya was beaming with joy as he led her down the "aisle," which was actually simply a path through the Vineyard, as he led her down the route. Her love-filled smile gleamed brighter than the sun, and her green eyes sparkled in the sun

    Don Zino watched the warehouse with a look of disdain as he smoked on his cigar and examined the space. Salvetti wanted all the victims, blood, and rats to be cleared out from the scene as soon as possible. However, he was required to hold off for the time being.He looked at Lanaya with great concentration. Since he stepped foot in the room, he had not taken his eyes off her. She was completely unaware of the identity of the person sitting next to her. Why exactly was he helping her out in the first place?There was a time when Don Zino read some of Dante's works. I instructed the young man to "sit down, youngster" when I saw him.Dante grimaced but yet started looking for a place to sit. Because of the blood and debris, his white suit was already soiled, so it would have been pointless for him to sit in the mud.Don Zino released a heavy sigh, then lifted his arm to draw his weapon. While doing so, he shot Dante in the knee and said, "Sit down, child!"Dante wailed in pain as he crum

    Elisabetta combed her fingers over Salvetto's damp hair. He let out a low roar. After spending twenty minutes trying to "tame" his hair, his mother finally gave up. The longer she battled with it, the more noticeable his mother's frown grew.She smacked his arm hard. Stop being so mean to your mother, Salvetti.The expression on his face indicated that he was struggling to control his anger. He didn't dare put his beloved mom to the test. No one could predict the level of violence she may display if she saw him looking at her.After clicking her tongue, she gave his hair a solid slap with the gel.The words "my baby" cooed as she ran a comb over his thick layer of gel and hair.It's like a child saying, "Mom, quit!" He recoiled, shaking his head. What, no other kid around here for me to annoy?She let out a startled gasp. "Annoy?" She raised her arms and shouted something at him in Italian. The man sighed. He had one too many female companions.Salvetti walked to his dressing room aft

    When the bed moved, Lanaya woke up. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and raised her head to see Salvetto's relaxed stretch. She owned him. It was the mere idea of it that made her tremble.Salvetti swung around to face her and stared. As his eyes wandered over her body, the front of his briefs puffed out tremendously. Despite being covered up with one of his shirts, he made Lanaya feel exposed.A prayer to Lanaya, the gods. As he mumbled, her blood began to boil. "In other words, I need you. What a lot."She looked down as he leaned in and touched her nose."But not just yet. You aren't prepared to deal with my hunger."Her response was a scowl. Not what you stated at all last night.Under lashes of obsidian, his golden eyes glowed like pools of scorching pirate gold.However, she was correct. They had not shared a bed the night before. His preferred position was with his head buried between her knees as she cried and thrashed around in an emotional tangle. She remembered how she'd

    This process lasted for a total of seven hours. Most men were drunk, and the ladies were delightfully buzzed when the blue-haired maid hurried in, having played nurse. After Salvetti was evicted from his office a few times, Ash and Darian fled.Salvetti cast his gaze over the space. As the dining hall could adequately accommodate everyone, that's where they'd agreed to spend the night. The birth of Sasha's child, the cook, reasoned, deserved a celebration. Everyone was eating except for Barrow, who had brought his pistols and cleaning supplies with him when he relocated. Salvetti toasted him with Scotch because becoming a parent was a major life event.Majority-rules-Capital-P Serious.However, Barrow had already finished the Scotch and asked for something stronger.Thus, Salvetti had taken the Russian approach and gave him two bottles of Vodka. The first bottle was almost all ingested by him. Lanaya was talking to Blaire and Chloe, oblivious to his presence.He had just realized he n

    A little while later, a knock at the office door tore them apart. After they were done, Salvetti unbuttoned Lanaya's shirt and re-tucked in his pants. Then he had idly made out with her while she sat on his lap. His fly was undone, so she could see his cock between his legs.Why is it still so challenging? Is that typical? However, neither Lanaya nor Salvetti seemed interested in answering questions.Salvetti looked at the door as Lanaya leaped from his lap to pull on her underwear. She had totally missed the fact that they were actually inside a nightclub.Inquiring, "Where is -"Still stunningly half-naked, Salvetti rose and grabbed her turtleneck from the doorway."Here."He hurriedly assisted her in getting it on, and then she put it on, and he helped her with her hair. Lanaya spun around and, embarrassed, tucked him inside his pants. When she began buttoning his shirt, he raised an eyebrow at her."Please don't let anyone see you," she said. With the expectation that he wouldn't

    The tension in the room boiled Salvetti's blood.He had hoped that Lanaya would be sound asleep or occupied watching a movie with his obnoxious sister when he went to the club to do some private work. Only two hours later did the club's bouncer need to call Parker, who whispered to Andrew, who told everyone in the club that Lanaya had arrived.He had naively assumed that his curiosity was the only motivation.Twenty minutes later, he watched the footage and saw a wet fantasy materialize amid the dance floor. If he hadn't become tough overnight, I'd be surprised. The only reason he didn't just cover her up and start shooting everybody in the club was because of the grin on her face.She was having a good time, and he was sitting there watching her with an evident hard-on. Not until she returned to the loft with Mattheo did he muster the energy to readjust himself and emerge from hiding under the table.In addition, she had the nerve to present an innocent and remorseful face when he fi

    While the Siciliano came and went, Salvetti, avoided going to Lanaya's quarters. All of this action was make her more anxious. She had run into her closet and huddled there, knees to chest, but the longer she waited for Salvetti to return, the less air she could breathe.Not that hiding there was a great idea, but she had nowhere else to go. When she tried to hide under the bed once before, Nathan Gallagher yanked her out by the hair and nearly threw her down the stairs.Her fear increased when she heard footsteps approaching for the simple reason that those weren't Salvetto's footprints. After violently opening the door, Lanaya released a startled cry of terror."Would you chill?" A superior voice came from above her. Saying, "If I really wanted to kill you, I'd just shoot the door and hope I hit you," is a common way to threaten someone into submission.Salviana towered over her, one hand on her hip, the other on the doorframe. She almost looked judgmental in her expression. As if s

    Just after lunch, Salvetti dragged Lanaya into his office by the upper arm. She fought him the whole way; he didn't let her go until he'd locked the door. She crossed her arms over her stomach and scowled at him, a momentary look of terror crossing her face.The man looked at her blankly. Her erratic emotions were novel. While she had improved her ability to interact with others, he knew she was still terrified of them. Is this her method of coping with the terror she feels? Or was it simply the release of feelings she had repressed?Given Gallagher's character, it wasn't hard to deduce that they made her feel that her feelings and troubles didn't matter. He reasoned that if she didn't know how to go through her feelings and get to the bottom of the issue, then her reaction made sense. The closer Salvetti got, the more she retreated, attempting to evade him.He knew Lanaya was nervous, but that wouldn't stop him this time. To grow stronger, there was no other option.
