DONATELLA'S POV

I found the almond cookies and I ate three of them standing at the kitchen counter in my socks.

After that, I poured myself a glass of wine, Lorenzo had Clara hide because he knew I was a sucker for it and I took the wine upstairs.

I knocked on Lorenzo's door because the light was still on underneath it and because he was my brother and I was slightly wine-brave and I had things to say.

"It's me," I responded after he asked who it was at the door. "I'm coming in."

    Sergei's POVThe first call came while I was dealing with a shipment problem. Three containers had arrived at the docks with the wrong paperwork attached, which meant customs had decided to become interested in my business.I was already irritated then my phone started vibrating, adding to my annoyance. I looked at the screen. It was Pavel.I ignored it and continued skimming through the documents but it rang again and again.Jesus Christ!I answered on the fourth attempt. "What?""She's not listening."I closed my eyes, pinching the space in-between my eyes. For the last two days, Maria had somehow become the center of my problems, and I was getting tired of hearing her name."What happened now?""She heard us." He answered."Yes, Pavel.” I rolled my eyes. “You mentioned that yesterday.""No, you don't understand." He replied. “Maria everything we said over the phone and that's a problem.” His voice sounded strained.I hated that tone."What exactly did she hear?""I don't know."I r

    Jovan's POVWe drove home in silence.Lorenzo parked and we went inside and I sat on the couch and he sat beside me and neither of us said anything for a while."It's Sergei," I said out loud with certainty. “Why else would Camille who cursed me out when I reached out to her just appear out of the blues?!”"Yes." Lorenzo nodded, slipping out of his shoes into the comfy slippers we wore indoors. “"He found all three of them. Same day. Same energy." I looked at my hands. "That's not a coincidence.""No." Lorenzo leaned forward. "Dante is pulling everything tonight so that we can find out if she's acting on her own or is being used by Sergei.""And until then?""Until then,” he cupped my face, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb affectionately. “We go to bed and rest easy for the night.”"I'm not going to sleep.""I know." He pulled me into him. "We try anyway."He led me to the room and up until we got into the bedroom, all I could think about was Camille standing right there on t

    Camille's POVAs soon the car drove off, I exhaled deeply, relieving myself of the tension. I'd heard of Jovan's boyfriend but seeing him upfront with that death glare of his made me scared but I'd held it down.My phone rang. I pulled it out of my purse. It was Sergei.“How did it go?” He asked as soon as I answered.“A little bit scary. For a second there, I thought he was going to kill me.”Sergei laughed. “You're one lucky girl, I must say. Lorenzo doesn't take threats to his boyfriend lightly so I'd advise you tread cautiously.”“Come over, I had something for you.”An hour later, the Uber driver dropped me off at his house. Wow….. his house was beautiful. Exactly like I expected.He opened the door himself. No staff visible, which told me something about how he wanted this conversation to go."How did you find them?" He stepped aside for me to enter."I found both of them." I walked past him into the apartment and didn't wait to be invited further in. "Sitting in a car eating pi

    Lorenzo's POVThe past few hours in the office had been a very tedious one. We had no clue where Elena was but our very good sources had indeed confirmed that she was alive and in the city of New York.The moment I walked in and saw him biting his finger while scrolling through his phone, I could tell something was wrong.He hadn't even heard me come in until I wrapped my arm around him from behind which made him jump up in fear."It's me,""Lorenzo." He pressed his hand to his chest. "Don't do that.""You didn't hear the door." I looked at his face. "What's wrong?""Nothing." He turned his attention back to his phone."Jovan.""I said nothing." He put the phone down and turned his attention back to me. As much as he tried to hide the fear behind his fake smile, I could still see it. "How was the office?""Fine." I sat beside him. "What's on your phone?""Nothing.""You were biting your finger." I pointed out. “And you looked very scared when I touched you so don't sit there and tell

    Jovani's POVThe doctor said the time of death was 6:47 PM.I know this because Donatella told me later, after she came back into the ward through the back after the whole scene she'd created at the waiting room.I never died, I survived the gunshot wounds and chose anonymity.I always had my suspicions about Elena from the day she'd become rude and wouldn't do my bidding. The money that moved from my account, the account officer being dodgy, Elena having meetings behind my back.Everything pointed at one thing; she was trying to double cross me.“You're not as big as you think and I can easily replace you.” That was what Elena had told me that night.And the fact that Sergei, a man whom I found out was somehow linked to Elena just showed up out of the blue, I knew it could only mean one thing so I made moves, placing one step ahead.The drug was in the lining of my jacket. A contact agent, absorbed through the skin over the course of the evening, slowing everything down to a rate ind

    Donatella's POVThat night, the tree kept hitting the window forcing me out of bed. The day had been a tedious one with Margaret and I running round the shop trying to get fabrics for the numerous customers who kept trooping in.My husband was by my side, his arm over me and I gently slipped out of bed, downstairs to get a glass of water.“Ughhh,” I exhaled deeply as I gulped down the chilled water. The kitchen window was open and as I moved closer to shut it, I stumbled backwards in shock.One minute I could have sworn that someone was right there staring at me, the next minute I couldn't make out the face.Beads of perspiration broke out on my forehead and he was already in the doorway when I turned.“I….I… saw someone.” I stammered. “Right there.”He moved past me, poked his head out the window for ten seconds before closing the window and he returned, holding me in his arms.“Must have been Dovey’s scarecrow.” He said.Dovey was our creepy neighbor. But I could swear that I saw so

    LEILANI'S POVI was a terrible person and I'd known it for months since the moment Jovani Hart slid an envelope across the table and said: "A million dollars. A million dollars when I have what I need. All you have to do is be her friend."I'd taken the money of course not that I didn't have it but

    LORENZO'S POVThe call from Jovani ended and I stood there holding Jovan's phone like it was a live grenade.Jovan was pressed against the counter, his face white and he was looking like he wanted to disappear into the floor."He knows where we are," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "He k
