Chapter 29

Eden

I hear Dario’s voice as he calls Esmerelda to let her know about Tyrone so she can get a room ready for him.

I didn’t even argue when Dario said we’d be staying with him.

Why?

I’m still trying to find the answer when he comes back into the room.

Snuggled beneath the covers, I watch as he sits down on the armchair and removes his boots. Standing up, he pulls the two guns from behind his back. I’d forgotten they were tucked into his waistband.

He places them on the bedside table, and leaning over me, he presses a kiss to my temple, while whispering, “Move up, Tesoro.”

I scoot back and lift the covers so he can climb beneath them. When he lies down, he wraps an arm around me and positions my body half over his.

Melting into the feel of his warmth, I let out a sigh. This is why I didn’t argue about staying with him. I feel safe and loved.

He keeps giving me gentle hugs and pressing kisses against my hair. “Want to talk?” he whispers.

“Yeah.” I rub my good cheek against his

    Chapter 30DarioAfter Eden falls asleep, I lay her down on the bed and cover her with the blanket.I quickly go to my office and place my weapons in the cabinet. Grabbing my laptop, I head back to the bedroom so I can watch over Eden while I work.Careful not to wake her, I get comfortable on my side of the bed and open the device.I have just as much interest in finding Miguel as Damiano has.I have a couple of photos of the man, and uploading them all to my facial recognition app, I start the search for him.Opening another program, I go into the dark web, offering a reward of one million dollars for whoever has information on the whereabouts of Miguel.Done with that, I enter chat rooms and search for code words that drug dealers like to use. I spend the next couple of hours, sifting through shit, but I don’t find anything we can use to our advantage.Knowing Damiano will want an update, I dig my cell phone out of my pocket and send him a message.Busy searching for Miguel.

    Chapter 31EdenIt feels like all I’ve done since Dario rescued me is sleep and eat.I’m lying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling while Dario’s working. At first, I tried to take an interest in what he was doing, but that shit’s so far over my head I quickly gave up.Suddenly, it hits me like a lightning bolt that I haven’t called Sylvia, and I shoot upright into a sitting position. “Shit!”The laptop almost flies off Dario’s lap as he shoves it aside, and a second later, his arm’s wrapped around my shoulder.“What? Are you in pain?”“I didn’t call my boss. She’s going to fire my ass.”Shit, I lost my phone when I was grabbed.Dario gets up and leaves the room, which has me calling after him, “Can I use your phone?”Less than a minute later, he comes back, and when I see my phone in his hand, I crawl to the edge of the bed, asking, “Is it charged?”“Yes.”He hands it to me, and I quickly dial the diner’s number. It takes a while before the call is answered.“Ben’s Burgers, how can

    Chapter 32Dario“Dario,” Eden gasps, looking shocked out of her mind. “You call this meeting me in the middle?”I point at the phone and laptop. “You need those. Your phone is from the Middle Ages.”Tyrone lets out a chuckle, which earns him a scowl from Eden, then she gestures at the earrings and necklace set that I couldn’t resist getting for her.“I suppose you’re going to tell me I need those too?” she asks.I figured she'd be okay with them as long as she didn’t know they cost thirty-eight thousand dollars.“No, I got them because they’ll look beautiful on you,” I explain.“They sure are sparkly,” Tyrone adds his two cents. “Must’ve cost quite a bit.”“You’re not helping,” I mutter at him.“Hey, I’m on her side.” He points at Eden, who shakes her head while she waves a hand at the Louis Vuitton handbag.I shrug. “It’s just a handbag.”She waves her arm wildly over the Dolce & Gabanna wallet, theCartier watch, and Dior perfume.“I could’ve redone your entire wardrobe,” I say in

    Chapter 33Eden“So you basically fired me,” I say, lifting my eyebrow at Dario, where he’s standing in the doorway of his office.“No. I got a replacement to work as a janitor at the ballet company because you need time to heal after the shit you went through.”“I’ve been off for a week. The bruises have faded a lot,” I argue. “Besides, I work the night shift where no one actually sees me. I can go back to work.”He walks closer to me, and taking a deep breath, he says, “I’m not referring to the bruises, Tesoro. You need to process everything that happened to you.”“I’m much better.” Taking hold of his hand, I grip it between both of mine. “Shit happened, and I’m moving on. You should, too.”His eyes narrow on my face. “We’re not talking about me.” His expression grows softer. “You killed a man and watched another woman die. You got drugged and beaten. You don’t have to be strong around me. I know it will take time.”God, I love this man.A smile forms around my lips. “Growing up in

    Chapter 34DarioI managed to track down Miguel’s uncle and passed the information on to Damiano, who sent his men to capture him.While we’re waiting for them to return, I’m still searching for Miguel, who’s somewhere in South America.“You wanted to see me?” Tyrone asks.I glance over my shoulder and nod. “Come take a seat.”I wait for him to sit down, his eyes flicking over my system before settling on me.“I have a job offer for you,” I get right to the point. His eyebrow lifts. “Yeah?”“How would you feel about driving Eden around and being her bodyguard?”He doesn’t even think about the question. “I’d like to do that. Beats working construction.”“I’ll send you for defensive driving courses and weapons training.” This time, his eyebrows fly up. “Okay.”“Ever fired a gun?” I ask as I get up to grab a Glock from the cabinet where I keep all my weapons.“Yeah. I shot bottles and shit as a teenager.”Letting out a chuckle, I shake my head and sit down again. Taking the magazine out,

    Chapter 35EdenWalking into Yukhaejang, the restaurant where Dario brought me on our first date, I feel nervous for a different reason.I glance at the tables and customers, thinking this place is the complete opposite of the diner.Walking to a stand where a woman is reading something, I wait for her to look at me before I say, “I’m here to see Skylar.”A frown forms on her forehead. “The chef?”“Yes.” Worried I’m going to be kicked out, I add, “She’s expecting me.” “Oh.”As the woman glances over her shoulder, I see Skylar coming from the kitchen.Thank God.A smile spreads over her face when she notices me. “You’re here. Come to the back.”I dart around the stand, and when I reach Skylar, she gives me a quick hug.“Thanks for agreeing to see me,” I say while we walk to an office.When she shuts the door behind us, she smiles at me again. “Let’s get the business out of the way so we can relax.”“Yeah…okay.”She gestures at a chair, and even though I feel too nervous, I sit down. “D

    Chapter 36DarioI’ve just picked up the drugs from Frankie, and driving up a street in Brownsville, I recognize an SUV parked outside of a diner.I slow down, and when I park behind the vehicle, I see Eden and Tyrone sitting in a booth. It looks like they’re eating pie.I push the R8’s door open to get out, but an alarm on my phone has me digging the device out.Seeing an alert regarding Miguel, I quickly go into the app. He’s been spotted in Miami.Christ. We have to move fast.I shut the door again, and starting the engine, I pull away from the curb while dialing Damiano’s number.“You better have good news for me. My men killed the fucking uncle,” he mutters.“Miguel’s in Miami,” I say, feeling good that I finally get to give him solid information.“Wheels up in thirty minutes,” he grumbles. “Let the others know we’re meeting at the airfield.”“On it.”The call ends and when I stop at a traffic light, I quickly send a group text out.Miguel spotted in Miami.

    Chapter 37DarioI feel a stinging sensation across my side as a bullet narrowly misses me before I fall and slide straight into Renzo.“Christ,” he grunts. “You okay?”“Yeah.” I check the magazine in my gun, then I slam it back into place. “We should’ve brought machine guns,” I mutter as I move into a crouching position.“You’re bleeding,” Renzo says, pulling the fabric of my shirt away from my side.“So are you. Two grazed me. How’s your arm?” “The bullet didn’t go deep. I’ll live.”“You better.”“Where the fuck are you?” Damiano shouts over the gunfire. “DJ’s booth,” Renzo yells.The gunfire stops suddenly, and we hear our boss bark, “Get your asses out here.”We dart up, and as we leave our cover, it’s to see Damiano and Carlo moving up the stairs with Angelo and Big Ricky behind them.“You watch our backs while I keep an eye on the second floor,” I tell Renzo before we run to catch up to the others.Everything is eerily quiet as we take the stairs up, and when we reach the VIP ar

    Twenty-two years later…)EpilogueDamianoWalking out onto the veranda, I glance at the lake before my eyes drift over my guests.Everyone’s at the mansion for a cookout to celebrate Mamma’s eightieth birthday.She didn’t want anything formal, so I only invited the other heads and their families over to spend the day with us.I head toward where the men are sitting and take a seat.Dario points to where the kids are standing in groups, and he lets out a chuckle. “Rosie is following Enzo around. He can’t shake her.”I watch as Dario’s sixteen-year-old daughter sticks to my second-oldest son like glue. When Enzo stops and wraps his arm around her shoulder, the poor girl almost melts into his side.Fuck.I better have a talk with Enzo, who’s just turned twenty. I don’t want him getting any ideas until Rosie’s eighteen.Thankfully, he gives her a brotherly hug before letting go of her.My gaze follows Enzo as he walks to where his brother, Christiano, is talking to Angelo’s sons.When my

    Chapter 45DamianoAmelio arranged a Mercedes van and a Porsche Cayenne for the vacation in Cape Town. As we’re driven to the hotel, my eyes are on Gabriella, who’s grinning as she stares at the landscape.“It’s so green, and the mountain is stunning,” she tells Mamma.She was surprised when I allowed us all to travel in the same vehicle, and I had to explain the risk of an attack isn’t as high on vacation as it is in New York.“The roads aren’t as busy as in Manhattan,” Gabriella mentions. “It’s nice.”I give her hand a squeeze and lean into her. “Are you happy, amore mia?”She smiles at me, excitement making the green flecks in her eyes brighter. “Yes. Thank you for arranging all of this for us.”“Emilio did all the work,” I mutter.“You’re welcome, boss,” the fucker says from the driver's seat. “Don’t make me throw you out of the car,” I grumble.When we pull up to The One & Only that’s situated near the waterfront, I slide the door open and climb out.My muscles are stiff from all

    Chapter 44GabriellaEven though I didn’t have much of an appetite, I made Coda alla vaccinarafor Mamma, knowing she loves oxtail.I hope Stefano suffers a lot.It’s all I’ve been thinking about since we arrived home after attending the funeral.I can’t believe Aunt Greta’s gone.I glance at Mamma, where she’s sitting in an armchair with her eyes closed.“How are you doing, Mamma?” I murmur.Slowly, she opens her eyes and lets out a heavy sigh. “I keep listening for Greta. It’s so quiet without her.I know.“Should I switch on the TV?” I ask.She shakes her head. “I’m actually tired, cara. I think I’ll go to bed.” “Let me walk with you to your room.”I get up from the chair and help Mamma to her feet.As we walk to her bedroom, I wrap my arm around her shoulders and give her a sideways hug, then say, “Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make you feel better.”We stop near her door, and she gently pats my cheek. “You’re already helping, mia figlia.”Hearing her call me

    Chapter 43DamianoArriving at the warehouse, I get out of the SUV and head to the side entrance.“Carlo, go torture Stefano,” I say. “Just don’t kill him yet.”He nods, and I stop by the room where Mrs. di Bella is being held. “Are you going in?” Emilio asks.“Yes. Go keep an eye on Carlo.”When I’m alone, I think about everything Gabriella told me.As ice flows through my veins, I open the door and step inside. I glance at Bobby, who’s been guarding her, and nod to the door.After he leaves, my gaze settles on Mrs. di Bella, who’s tied to a chair. “Comfortable?” I ask.Her breaths explode over her lips, her skin pale with sorrow. Fear darkens her eyes as she stares at me.“Gabriella told me what you did to her,” I murmur, my tone dark with anger. “What you allowed to be done to her.”“It’s all lies,” she cries.I dart forward, and grabbing hold of her neck, I force her and the chair backward until she slams into the concrete floor.I pull out my gun from behind my back and press the

    Chapter 42DamianoAfter leaving Gabriella in Mamma and Vito’s care, Emilio drives Carlo and me to the warehouse.Yesterday was a quiet day for us. Once we all got some sleep, Emilio ordered food for everyone. There wasn’t much talking being done, because we were all processing the shitstorm we just went through.But as I’m on my way to the warehouse, my thoughts are focused on what lies ahead.Vengeance burns in my chest, an incessant inferno that can only be extinguished with blood.A fuck ton of blood.Today, everyone who’s hurt me and mine will die. Everyone but Stefano. He will suffer a million times more than Gabriella did before he meets his gruesome end.After the SUV pulls up to the warehouse, I shove the door open and climb out.Dressed in a suit, I adjust my jacket before I walk to the side entrance while pulling my phone out to call Tommy.“Yes, boss?” he answers on the second ring. “Bring them.”“Be there in ten minutes.”When I enter the building, I head to the room wher

    Chapter 41DamianoI got little to no sleep with my cock buried deep inside Gabriella. Not fucking her is impossibly hard, but she needs the rest, so I power through.I deserve a fucking gold medal for the sweet torture I’m forced to endure.Then she fucking stirs against my chest, and her pebbled nipples brush over my skin.Christ.When her inner muscles clamp around my cock, I let out a harsh breath, sweat beading at the back of my neck.Before I can ask if she’s awake, Gabriella slowly starts to swivel her hips.I let out a groan, my fingers digging into her ass cheeks. “You’re killing me.”“Hmm…”She rubs her clit against me, the movements quickly pushing me toward an orgasm.“Amore mia,” I grunt. “You’re going to make me come.”“That’s the plan,” she moans before starting to press kisses to my pecs. “You feel so good.” Her teeth tug at my nipple. “You taste even better.”I don’t stand a chance against my wife, and I thrust up once before shooting my release into her wet warmth.M

    Chapter 40GabriellaI was allowed a very quick shower before a nurse tended to my wounds.I sit on the side of the hospital bed, and clench my jaw while I watch as Damiano talks with a doctor.I just want to be alone with my husband.Somehow, I manage to keep my expression neutral as I struggle to keep all my emotions from spiraling out of control.Finally, the nurse leaves, and I slip off the bed. Even though my feet are raw and ache from running barefoot through the damn woods, I walk to the window and pull the blinds shut.“I’ll take her home first thing tomorrow morning,” I hear Damiano tell the doctor while I gingerly move back to the bed.I brace my right hand on the white sheets and suck in a desperate breath of air.I hear the door shut, and I glance at Damiano to make sure we’re alone.I suck in another breath of air, then all the trauma I’ve been forced to endure shudders through my body.Damiano moves closer to me, and when his fingers wrap around the back of my neck, I ca

    Chapter 39DamianoDirt shoots into the air as we come to a screeching stop in the lot at the front of the property. The house is medium-sized and looks like it hasn’t been painted in the last decade.There are a dozen armed men scattered around the property, and they open fire on the SUVS while they try to find cover against the sides of the house.I shove the door open and order, “Launch the fucking grenades!”Tommy sends a grenade flying into the side of the house where a group of men are taking cover, and bodies fly into the air.Using the door as a shield, I open fire on the fuckers that are shooting from inside the house, and I have to reload the magazine before I’m able to move away from the SUV. With the submachine gun held in position, I run toward the house while shooting every fucking man I lay eyes on.My vision tunnels on the front door, and I riddle it with bullets before my body slams into the wood. It gives way easily, and I keep going, taking out target after target u

    Chapter 38DamianoWith Mamma and the other women and children safe, we all focus on getting everything ready for the attack.Impatient as fuck, I glance at Dario, who hasn’t stopped working since I gave the order. “Do you know where Stefano is?”“His phone signal is bouncing off three towers. I have the area but not a precise location.”“Where?” I bark.“Somewhere near Manorville. Just over an hour away by car.”My phone buzzes, and I rip the device out of my pocket. Unlocking the screen there are more messages from Stefano.I haven’t tried to call him, because then I’d be playing straight into his hands.They’ve had Gabriella for twenty-four hours now, and I try to brace for the worst as I open the text.You’re quiet, cousin. I hope you don’t think you have any other option than to step down.I suck in a deep breath before pressing play on the attached video. It shows Gabriella still hanging from the ceiling by a rope.She must be in so much fucking pain.“Let’s get started,” the sa
