"Wow, that is so cool. Will you show me how to do that?" Tommaso asks sounding in awe. I think he's forgotten that we are under attack and have nowhere to go which only serves to remind me that he's still a kid. I smack his back. "I don't have the time to ask why you have a loaded gun with the safety off. We were going to go out through the kitchen but now we can't. Do you know another way out of this house?" "Yes. Come on" he leads us back to De Luca's room. I'm sure surprise is evident on my face because he smirks. The same way I've seen his father do. Which reminds me of Nev and how Paulo thought we should kill him. Tommaso doesn't have a mother. If we kill his father, wouldn't that make him an orphan? Fuck, why didn't I think everything through? "No one is supposed to know this" he locks the door "All we have to do is keep going until we're on the other end. It's over here in the closet. Come on" "I'm impressed. I never would have thought of that" "Yeah, we all know just

I can't believe Damiano is still mad at me. Apparently, he doesn't like that I left the club knowing Marianna was going to end up like that. All of a sudden that asshole grew a heart overnight. So it's okay for him to poison her but it's not okay for me to what, leave her to talk with Padre? When I left, I just thought he was trying to scare her. She's his fucking daughter. I didn't actually think he'd go through with it. But honestly, I was also hoping he'd just get rid of her once and for all. It's not a secret that we've never gotten along. Her arrogance and self-entitled attitude are something I hate with every fiber of my being. Just because her name is Marianna and mine is Carina doesn't mean she's better than me. Over the years, the hate I feel towards her has grown tenfold. Trust me when I say I don't give a shit about her. She could drop dead in front of me and I wouldn't even blink. If the same happened to me, her reaction wouldn't be any different. So when Damiano, who is

Fuck Damiano. Fuck you, I hate you and your stupid ugly face" I place my gun on the bed and hit his chest with my fists. I don't trust myself not to say screw it and pull the trigger. Besides I need to know where he hid the money before I kill him. "Stop Cara. Losing it now isn't going to help us in any way" "Losing it? You think I've lost it?" "Carina..." "Oh no, no, no. If I had lost it, you wouldn't be standing here. You would already be dead Damiano." "What should we do now?" "Prepare ourselves to die. That man isn't going to let us go easily" "I can negotiate with him. I'm good with people" "You've done enough. Shut up and let me think" This sucks big time. I would have preferred Padre to be the first to find out because he'd just kill us or punish us in one way or another. Giovanni? That asshole is so much worse than Padre. He's never lifted a finger to hurt anyone physically but there are a hundred ways to hurt someone without touching them. And he's the master

My house looks like a war zone. Dead bodies line up the sidewalk all the way to the front gate. They're all covered in blood and one of the guys that was left standing is checking for those that might still be alive. Some are my guys and the rest I assume are Lombardi's. Fuck that bastard to hell and back. I've lost a lot of men and I swear to get him back for the guys he just killed but right now all I can think about is Marianna and Tommaso. I don't wait for Fabian to stop the car. The moment he slows down, I jump out of the car and rush inside. Those fuckers weren't here to just kill people. It seems like they came here to destroy my property too. The chairs have holes in them, remains of the TV are down on the floor together with my sound system. Everything was trashed, nothing survived. I'm so angry but fear overtakes every other emotion. I've been trying to call Nev for hours now but he's not picking up. I'm scared that Lombardi took him. He could be lying dead somewhere and

"Padrino, zia Mari is so cool. A guy tried to shoot at us but then she threw her knife at him like they do in the movies and shot him. She told me she'll teach me how to do it" he starts babbling the second I step out of the car. A sign that he's okay. The attack didn't scare him. I guess letting him watch all those movies was a good call. At least dead bodies don't scare him. It doesn't escape me that she just called Marianna zia. "Where is Marianna?" "She left" that from Mama who's standing just inside the door. "Left? Where did she go?" "Probably back to her father's house. Do you want to tell me why you're fucking around with Lombardi's daughter?" "Mama, language!" I chastise her even though Tommaso has heard worse. Turning to him I say "Go and do whatever shit you normally do when you're here. I'll find you after I'm done talking to your grandma" "Okay, I'm going to practice throwing knives" "Don't even think about it Tommaso" I yell after him but he's already inside

"Well, would you look at that? It looks like someone caught some feelings while she was busy whoring herself. I didn't think that was possible" "Fuck you, Nev," I tell him turning my phone off and taking the card out. It would be better if Cris didn't try coming after me. He sounded so shocked that I was tempted to go back to him but it's too late. I need to stop thinking about him and consider my next steps. If I'm not careful, two powerful Dons will come after me. For the second time, it hit me just how foolish I was to cross Cris and Padre. It wouldn't take a lot to kill me. Maybe Cris might hesitate but once Padre sends his hound Giovanni, I'll be done for. "Yeah, I'd like that. I was going to find someone to release all my stress on after I'd left the warehouse but since I ended up here, would you mind fucking me? You would have all the control because as you can see, I'm literally tied up" Nev says pulling me out of my thoughts. "And I'll stick a sock in your mouth if you d

"It looks like I underestimated you, Marianna. You sure know how to dream big" "They say dreams are valid Nev. Do you know of a way I can contact him?" "Why should I tell you that? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to give you a weapon that could destroy us?" "For starters, I did save your son so you kind of owe me. Do you want to repay that favor right about now?" "I can take a bullet for you and we'll call it even but I'm not telling you shit about Schiavone" "Okay, I'll find out how to contact him on my own. I don't need your help" "Why are you doing this Marianna? Cris thinks it was your father who hit our warehouses so he hit one of Lombardi's. That's the reason your father sent men to our house. Why are you pitting them against each other?" "You say that as if they were close friends, to begin with. We all know how much De Luca hates Padre and vice-versa. I'm only speeding up things that would have happened sooner or later" "Did you have to use Cpris though?"

"I didn't think you'd actually come," Marianna says looking at Marco. My eyebrows shoot up in surprise. She was here to meet him? I was tracking down Marco because I needed to talk to him when Marianna walked in. I don't think she noticed it, but every head in here turned to look at her. In that dress, she looks fucking sexy. My groin stirred just by looking at her and for the hundredth time, I felt like an idiot. How can I still want her? She fucking lied to me dammit. Everything made sense after I calmed down. Well, not everything since I don't know why Lombardi would come after me when he started this bullshit. But it's clear father and daughter were working together to steal from me. "Wait, I know you. We've met before haven't we?" She asks shocking me for the second time tonight. "I'm honored you remember me, Bella. You look better than the last time I saw you" "You're actually Marco Schiavone? How?" "My parents gave me that name" "But you told me your name was Mark"

She tenses and tries to pull away but I hold her in place. There's a beat of silence before she sighs and says, "I'm sorry for everything. I just wanted to escape from Padre so much that I was willing to do anything. I realized later that I could have asked for your help but I didn't want to depend on another man" "I wish you would have come to me, Marianna. I could have killed that asshole for you if you'd just asked" "You wanted to kill him anyway. Saying you would have done it for me is just your way of making me owe you. That was what I was trying to avoid. I'm not going to let myself fall into another man's control ever again" "No, I would have put aside my revenge and killed him for you without expecting anything in return" "Why?" she asks frowning "Nothing is free in this world. I know that more than anyone else. Why would you do that for me?" "Because you're mine to protect and I love you" She goes incredibly still for a few seconds before huffing, "Yeah right" "It's

Actually, I didn't come here for this or to pay respect to that fucker Lombardi. I just wanted to see if Marianna was okay. When I left her the other day, she didn't look well so I thought maybe I should check up on her just to see how she's holding up. And it's a good thing I arrived on time to see that bastard Annibale ogling her. Well, half the men in here can't keep their eyes off her but this one didn't even bother pretending he didn't want her. The motherfucker was halfway hard and I could only imagine what he was thinking. I've seen him a few times in some clubs around town. If he happened to get his hands on Marianna, I can't imagine what he'd do to her. He's got a sick, twisted mind and even though his connections might help get her a few clients, she doesn't need him. She has Giovanni. That fucker can run things without anyone's help. His reputation as Lombardi's right-hand precedes him. Even assholes like Annibale have to be wary of him. And despite everything, Marianna ha

This doesn't look like a funeral at all. I haven't seen a single person shed a tear or even look sad. Then again, this was to be expected. Everyone is dressed in black as is custom but instead of crying they're holding glasses of champagne and wine, toasting each other. If I didn't know better, I'd think this was a party, which works for me. I can take people's condolences but they shouldn't expect me to act like a grief-stricken daughter. Deep down I'm happy Padre is dead. I hope he rots in hell. "My condolences, Miss Lombardi. Your father was a great man and he will remain in our hearts forever" a man says. We both know he's full of shit but since he is one of the men in the file Giovanni gave me, I just nod and offer him my thanks. "Thank you, Signor Conti" "Ah so you do know me" "Yes, Padre told me everything about his business partners. I hope to continue working with you in the future" "The rumor is true then? You will be taking over?" "No, I won't be taking over" I l

I blink my eyes open. It takes a few seconds for me to recognize my surroundings which is funny because I'm home. At least that's what this house is supposed to be. My home. The place I grew up in and which should have a lot of memories. But the ones I have are those I'd rather forget. Growing up here hadn't been easy. Many are the times I wished for a family that would at least care for me. A mother that would tell me everything would be okay. I always imagined her taking my side every time Padre got mad and took his anger out on me. I try not to hold a grudge against my birth mother. I've never met her but there had to be a reason she couldn't be with me.Maybe now that Padre is dead...No. I'm not going down that road. Not when I have so much to do. I managed to get Giovanni to leave me alone yesterday but I know he's going to barge in here any minute now. I still can't believe he's dead. It all seems so surreal, like I'm dreaming and someone is going to wake me up soon. I

I take a bullet for her and this is the thanks I get. Why the hell do I still like her? I've met and been with a lot of women. I guess I'm drawn to her because I've never met anyone like her. She knows she's beautiful so flaunts it. She's unapologetic about what she did even though she should be asking for my forgiveness. Lombardi and De Luca organizations have been on opposite sides for a long time. I could easily take advantage of our rivalry and wipe her out. Even with Giovanni by her side, she's no match for me. All I have to do is convince their clients and business partners to join me. Seeing as Lombardi is dead, who would want to put their money in the hands of a woman? It wouldn't take much to convince them. But there's a part of me that hopes she succeeds so she doesn't have to be under anyone's control anymore. Lombardi never cared about any of his daughters. I'm glad Marianna has finally gotten her freedom. "How long until Nev gets here?" I ask following her into the hou

The appearance of Giovanni makes perfect sense. Every piece fits into the puzzle perfectly now. On my way here I kept wondering how she could have done it on her own. She only had Paulo and those two girls. Alone, they wouldn't have accomplished anything. Stealing merchandise from me required them to have a lot of money to begin with. They'd need trucks, a place to store the stolen goods and men. The kind that are trained and won't make mistakes. She would have also needed to pay them a good sum to work for her. I know she's Lombardi's daughter, but there's no way she would have had the money to do all that. Unless she'd been in cahoots with Carina. Now if they had my five million dollars, this could have been done easily. It wouldn't have been a problem. Except I've seen just how much Marianna hated her sister. She didn't want to live in the same house with her. Let alone striking deals with each other, I think they'd rather die than work together. But having Giovanni Balistreri on

So Padre is dead. Which means whoever gets to the house first, will have the upper hand. Most of the documents about shipments and deals are in a safe at the mansion. Everyone who knows that Padre is dead will try to get there before anyone so they can take over. The men that worked for Padre can easily be turned once they find out he's dead. They need jobs and would work for anyone who offers to pay them. Besides, anyone who refuses is bound to die. You can't be loyal to a dead man. Unless we're talking about Giovanni. He was Padre's right-hand so maybe he'll resist? Who will he pick? Right now he's the only one who can sway Padre's men. "How long until we get there?" I ask smoothing my hair back. I have absolutely no idea what I'm walking into. I don't know what I'll do if I actually get there first. Padre didn't exactly teach me anything about running an organization as big as this one. We all know how he looked down on women especially me. I would really like to give him the mi

I think I'm still in shock. Padre shot Carina. I shot him. He killed Carina. She's dead. I don't know why that is so unbelievable when this is what I was hoping for. Ever since she showed up at the house, she's been nothing but a pain in my ass. She even tried to kill me once, and I promised myself I would kill her instead. Why then can't I believe that she's dead? Before we left, I saw the light go out of her eyes. She was looking right at me when she took her last breath. It's the kind of look that will forever remain in my mind.We grew up hating each other. It was so natural to hate her because I thought she got the better end of the deal. While I was busy running around doing Padre's bidding, she was in New York, living the life I wanted. Doing what I wanted to do but couldn't. She had everything I wanted, which is funny because she thought the same thing. Carina wasn't one to keep her mouth shut. Whenever she wanted something, she came right out and said it. I know just how much

"He just shot her. He killed her" she says referring to Carina. Damiano is kneeling beside her putting pressure on her wound but she's losing a lot of blood. I don't think she's going to make it. Even so, I still ask Fabian to ask around for a doctor. "Stay out of this, De Luca. None of this is your concern" Lombardi barks. He's bleeding too because Marianna shot him in the arm but I couldn't give a flying fuck. He could drop dead for all I care. I'm afraid for Marianna. If Marino and Russo decide to retaliate, she won't walk out of this room alive. Lucky for her, those assholes have moved to a corner, separating themselves from Lombardi. "I've always known what a bastard you are and this just serves to prove how right I was. How could you shoot your fucking daughter?" "Please, let's not pretend that she's related to me in any way" he scoffs and I want to finish what Marianna started. It would be so easy to kill him right now. He's not some kind of immortal being, if he bleeds th
