CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE - THE MEETING

Kayden's POV

The secure facility was two hours outside the city, buried in industrial wasteland where screams wouldn't carry. Russio owned it through three shell corporations. Officially, it didn't exist.

Perfect place to make people disappear.

Adeline sat beside me in the SUV, silent since we'd left the mansion. Belle had cried when we left, begging Adeline not to go. But we both needed this. Needed answers.

Marco drove, eyes constantly checking mirrors. "Security's tight. Russio has twenty men on site. Grey's in the basement level, maximum security cell."

"Has he said anything?" I asked.

"Not to the interrogators. Just keeps asking when you're coming." Marco glanced at me in the rearview. "Boss, you sure about this? Guy's a manipulator. Whatever he says—"

"I know what he is."

We pulled up to a nondescript warehouse. Guard towers disguised as water tanks. Electrified fence hidden behind chain-link. From the outside, it looked abandoned.

Inside was

  • BURNING WITH THE MAFIA PRINCE    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN - THE GHOST’S MESSAGE

    Adeline's POVI watched the video three more times. Each time, Sienna's face looked more real, more alive….more angry."We need to analyze this," Marco said, reaching for my phone.I pulled it away. "No.""Adeline, there could be metadata, location data—""I said no." My voice came out harsher than intended. "She sent it to me. This is personal."Kayden touched my arm gently. "Let them check. If there's any chance of tracking where she sent it from—""She's too smart for that. She taught me half of what I know about digital security. There won't be anything to find."But I handed Marco the phone anyway.He took it to the tech specialist in the van. I watched them work, knowing they'd find nothing.Sienna was a ghost. Had been for five years. She wouldn't make amateur mistakes now."Talk to me," Kayden said quietly. "What are you thinking?""That she's right. I did leave her." I looked at him. "The mission…there were twelve hostages. Every minute I spent searching for Sienna was a minu

  • BURNING WITH THE MAFIA PRINCE    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX - PART OF THE PLAN

    Adeline's POVThe facility was in chaos. Smoke everywhere, alarms screaming, guards running in all directions trying to secure the breach points.I found Kayden in the sublevel corridor, being checked by a medic. Blood on his temple where someone had hit him."I'm fine," he was saying. "Check the others—""Kayden!" I ran to him, grabbing his face. "Are you hurt?""Concussion maybe. Nothing serious." He caught my hands. "They took him. Grey's team extracted him exactly like he planned.""I know. I saw them leave." My voice shook. "And I saw her."Kayden's eyes met mine. "Sienna."The name hung between us like a ghost."She's alive," I whispered. "All this time, she's been alive.""Grey said she's been working for my father. For five years." Kayden stood despite the medic's protests. "Is that possible? Could she have survived?"I thought back to that night. The mission that went wrong. The explosion. The building collapsing. I'd searched the rubble for hours before the authorities force

  • BURNING WITH THE MAFIA PRINCE    CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR - RUSSIO ARRIVES

    Adeline's POVThe foundry was chaos when we arrived. Emergency vehicles everywhere, Fire trucks, ambulances, bomb disposal units, police cruisers with lights flashing.But no explosion.The technical team had done it. That disarmed the bombs with eight minutes to spare.I ran toward the building, pushing past paramedics and officers. Marco was right behind me, shouting clearances and credentials."Where's Kayden?" I demanded of the first Gravano soldier I saw."Sub-basement. They're bringing everyone up now."I didn't wait, didn't follow protocols or safety procedures. I just ran toward the elevator shaft we'd used earlier.A hand caught my arm. Russio."Slowly," he said. "The building is still structurally unsound. The last thing we need is another collapse.""I need to see him—""And you will, in a moment. First—" He pulled me aside, away from the crowd. "—we need to discuss what happens next.""What happens next is I make sure Kayden and Belle are okay.""After that." Russio's voic

  • BURNING WITH THE MAFIA PRINCE    CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE - IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE

    Adeline's POV Marco coordinated the tactical deployment from the mobile command center, his voice crisp and efficient over the encrypted channels. "Sniper Team Alpha, position at the bell tower. Team Beta, take the adjacent building, west side. Team Gamma, rooftop across the street. I want full three-sixty coverage of that church." "Copy that." "In position in ten minutes." "Confirmed." I watched the grain silo, waiting to see if Grey would emerge. Waiting to see if he'd actually take the bait. My phone buzzed. Text message from unknown number. Tell Russio I'm watching. Any sign of his men, any hint of a setup, and I detonate immediately. This is his last chance to do the right thing. I showed Marco the message. "He's paranoid," Marco said. "Good. Paranoid people make mistakes." "Or paranoid people see traps coming." "Either way, we're committed now." He gestured to the map on his tablet. "St. Michael's is here. Old stone church, been abandoned since the archdiocese cons

  • BURNING WITH THE MAFIA PRINCE    CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: THE ULTIMATUM CALL

    Adeline's POVI climbed back through the rope system to the surface, leaving Kayden below with Belle and the bomb techs. Every instinct screamed at me to stay, but we both knew what had to happen.Someone had to convince Russio to come.And Kayden couldn't leave the others trapped below.Marco met me as I emerged from the elevator shaft, helping me over the edge. "Well?""We need Russio. Now.""He's not going to—""I know what he's going to say. But it's not up to him anymore." I wiped dust and sweat from my face, looking at the foundry. "Grey made his demands clear. Russio comes, or everyone dies.""And if Russio refuses?""Then we find another way."But we both knew there was no other way.My phone rang before I could say anything else. I answered. "What?"Grey's voice, calm and controlled: "I assume you've discussed the situation with your people by now, assessed your options and realized you don't have any.""What do you want, Grey?""I told you what I want. But let me be more sp
