Exhaustion dragged at my limbs as I slipped through the back door of the hospital and into the expansive parking lot.

    He spat at the ground and scowled. “Crazy bitch.”One more moment’s hesitation … Then, he turned and ran.I remained in place, muscles still coiled, breathing controlled.

    LaylaI guided the still-trembling woman out of the parking garage and into a dimly lit hallway. Even with the past year of my life taking me to some of the most remote rooms and hallways in a variety of buildings, I knew this was sketchy at best and downright terrifying at worst.“I can’t imagine w

    He knew exactly who I was.“Aldo Marcello.” His teeth glinted white in the noon sunlight. “I was hoping you’d come.”My gun didn’t waver, but somehow, somehow, he knew I wouldn’t shoot him. Not here, not in this frothing, riotous crowd, not at the event I’d thrown together as a display of goodwill a

    AldoI sat alone in my study, the weight of my thoughts pressing down on me like an anchor. A map of the city sprawled across my otherwise barren desktop, lit only by the fading rays of the dying sun. I was too focused, too tired, to get up and switch on a light.I couldn’t pull my attention from th

    “Hey, Layla.” I turned to offer her a soft smile. The dark lines of exhaustion beneath her eyes startled me, and I held back a wince. “You’ve been working more lately, haven’t you?”Since this pseudo-war with the Rossettis had started a week ago, I admittedly hadn’t had the time or attention for muc

    The estate bustled with movement: Marcello men arming themselves, strategizing, talking shit, waving proverbial fists at the enemy, posturing, preparing for war … All the things men did.

I sat at the head of the long dining table, where he’d normally sit; for some reason it felt wrong to leave it vacant. Beside me, Eli pushed food around his plate with his fork, and on his other side, Vanessa lean
