Lenny’s POV

The red door looked ordinary until Vincenzo kicked it open… Warm jazz and cigar smoke spilled out into the street. Two men in expensive suits spun toward us, hands already reaching under their jackets. Vincenzo’s first shot dropped the closer one before the door even finished swinging, the second man got his gun halfway free. I fired and the bullet caught him in the thigh and he went down hard, screaming.

Francesca slipped past us like a shadow, knife

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Name On The Ledger

    Lenny’s POVCaroline Willow… The name sat in the smoky air of the clinic parking lot like a second detonation. I stared at Francesca’s laptop screen while the frozen upload header glowed back at me. Shell company. Articles of incorporation. Timeline that lined up with the year I went to prison. And the owner of record: Caroline Willow.My aunt, the woman who had sent me books with no judgment. The woman who had written letters that never once asked what I had done. The woman we had dragged out of her white house and moved under heavy guard because someone wanted to use her as a soft target.Or because she had been the one writing the targets all along.Vincenzo’s good hand stayed locked around mine. He didn’t speak. He simply waited, the same way he waited before a kill— giving me the seconds I needed to decide whether the ground under my feet was still solid.Francesca’s voice was careful. “The death record is clean on paper. Car acciden

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Accountants Ledger

    Vincenzo’s POVI kept my pistol locked on the woman’s forehead. Lenny stood on my left, weapon raised, breathing controlled but sharp. Dr. Patel remained zip-tied to the chair, eyes wide and furious above the tape on his mouth. The progress bar on the silver laptop crawled forward under the desk blotter. The pressure trigger under the chair was still live.The woman who called herself the accountant smiled like she had already won.“You’re out of good options, Moretti,” she said. “Shoot me and the chair charge takes the vet and most of this wall. Move the vet and the charge goes anyway. Try to reach the laptop and I still have enough time to finish what I started. The upload is the last ledger. Every soft target you thought you protected, every civilian name the pure blood and the Irish ever collected, plus three more that were never on any board, including the real name and location of the woman who originally paid for the fuse.”Lenny’s voice wa

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    One Hour For The Vet

    Lenny’s POV The words sat in the dark of the SUV like another loaded gun. I stared at the message on Francesca’s tablet while the convoy raced away from the burning remains of Giovanni’s residence. Dr. Patel. The quiet vet who had opened his clinic in the middle of the night, asked no questions, and kept Shadow breathing when everything else was falling apart. Someone had walked into his life tonight because he had once been kind to a dog that belonged to us. Vincenzo’s voice was low and controlled, the way it got when the violence inside him had gone ice-cold. “Francesca pull everything on the clinic and Patel’s home address. Luca, peel two vehicles and get to the clinic now. Silent approach. We don’t know if the message is a trap or a countdown.” “Already moving,” Luca answered over the radio. I turned in the seat to face Vincenzo. “This doesn’t feel like the collector,” I said. “The collector is cuffed in the other vehic

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Ash And Blood

    Vincenzo’s POV Bressi’s body lay on the driveway with the black device still dark beside his open hand. The freeze had held. The third switch was dead… The list had not gone out. Giovanni stood three feet away with the stolen gun still in his grip, face unreadable under the soot and blood. The residence continued to burn behind him, the east wing collapsing in a shower of sparks. New gunfire cracked at the shattered gates as the latest wave tried to push through Luca’s thinning line. Lenny’s pistol remained half-raised, her eyes moving between Giovanni and the tree line. “Vincenzo.” “I see him.” I kept my own gun at my side for the moment. The shoulder wound throbbed in time with my pulse. Blood loss and exhaustion were stacking, but the calculation in my head stayed cold and clear. “Luca,” I said into the radio. “Status.” “They’re pressing hard on the main gate. Two vehicles dow

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Horizon Burn

    Lenny’s POV The explosion bloomed orange against the night sky in the direction of Giovanni’s residence. I saw it through the rear window of our SUV while Francesca drove and Rico sat cuffed and bleeding on the floor at my feet. My stomach dropped hard. “Francesca—tell me that wasn’t the house.” Her hands stayed steady on the wheel, but her voice was tight. “It was close enough. Perimeter cameras are still dark. The four men we left there aren’t responding on any channel. Luca is already redirecting two teams, but we’re twenty minutes out even at this speed.” Rico laughed under his breath, the sound wet and ugly. “Your uncle’s burning, Lenny. How’s that for full circle? The same family that used you is eating itself alive.” I pressed the muzzle of my pistol against his knee. “One more word about family and I test how much of you the dead-man switch actually needs.” He shut up. The capsule inside him stayed th

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Two Minutes

    Vincenzo’s POV Two minutes… The words sat in my ear like a countdown to a detonation. I kept the pistol trained on the collector’s center mass. Lenny stood on my left, her own gun covering the doorway to the room where Rico was still chained and laughing like a man who had already decided he wouldn’t live to see morning. The satellite phone in the collector’s hand glowed with the unsent message that could still light the entire East Coast on fire. Francesca’s voice came through the earpiece, tight. “Ninety seconds until the convoy reaches the clearing. Luca is moving to intercept on the north road, but they’re coming in heavy. Three vehicles, at least twelve men.” I didn’t take my eyes off the collector. “You call them off. Now.” The man smiled, calm and cold. “Or what, Moretti? You shoot me, the list goes. You shoot Rico, the list still goes. You try to run, my insurance wave cuts you down before you reach the trees. You h

    Lenny’s POVGradually, the darkness that had swallowed me finally began to spit me out, taking off its tendrils as I heard sounds muddled in my ear. Soon, the fluorescent lights above me flooded my vision. After taking a minute to adjust, I swept my head from one side to another."You're alive," a
