“Elias Morello was in the Mafia,” I said, more to make myself believe it. Val nodded. “Not only that, but he was in the same circle as Adonis and Domenico.” “That makes no sense. Adonis has practically been turning Elias’s life into hell. How could they be friends?” “They were friends.” Val took
ADONIS A firm hold wrapped around me as soon as I entered Trentino’s mansion in the Californian suburbs. There was no mistaking that the petite figure hugging me was Savana Vitale, David’s elder one. Well, the eldest child, with Carlos gone. I rubbed her back and hit the top of her head with my chi
