Lenny's Pov

Detective Reyes had very good eyes and she knew how to use silence.

She sat on my couch with her notepad and let the quiet after each question sit there long enough to be slightly uncomfortable, the kind of silence designed to make people fill it with things they hadn't planned to say. I had learned something similar in prison. How to wait out silence without letting it pull anything out of you that you wanted to keep.

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Enforcer

    Lenny's Pov He came back through the door eleven minutes after I called him.He looked at me first. One full scan from top to bottom. Then he crossed to where I was standing at the kitchen counter."Repeat everything he said. Word for word."I leaned back against the counter. "His name wasn't important. He made that clear right away. Said you were considering an arrangement with his organization. That the arrangement had conditions that specifically involved me, he wanted to discuss those conditions directly without you in the room.""What else?""That was all. I hung up after forty-five seconds.""Good."Luca came through the door behind him and went directly to the table with his laptop."Number traces to a burner," Luca confirmed, already typing. "But the routing goes through Callahan's server infrastructure. It's his operation.""Callahan called her directly."

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Call

    Lenny's Pov He told me about the Irish connection over breakfast.But more than he had given me before, which I noticed and chose not to push on immediately."The network that sent the men to the lobby," I said. "The Irish mob.""Yes," he said."They reached out to you this morning.""Yes.""With an offer," I said."With the suggestion of an offer," he said. "They haven't specified terms yet."I put my fork down. "Why are they offering anything at all?""Because the ruling lands today," he said. "They have been working adjacent to Dante's position. When Dante loses his standing officially, they lose their cover for the expansion they've been running.""So they need a new arrangement," I said."They need to not be on the losing side of this," he said."And reaching out to you puts them on the winning side," I said."Potentially," h

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Countermeasures

    Vincenzo's PovLuca was at the table when I came out of the bedroom at six.He had his laptop open. Three phones lined up beside it, a coffee that had gone cold an hour ago, judging by the film sitting on top."Talk," I said, sitting across from him."The commission ruling lands today," he said. "Formally. The chair confirmed nine o'clock.""I know," I said."Dante's legal position inside the family collapses the moment that ruling is read," Luca said. "His protection from the family disappears. His access to family resources disappears, his ability to move people against you through official channels disappears.""Officially," I said."Officially," Luca agreed. He looked at me. "The unofficial channels are a different matter.""Walk me through the countermeasures," I said.Luca turned his laptop around. A map on the screen. The building. The surrounding blocks, small marker

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Name Have Consequences

    Lenny's Pov The man across the table held Vincenzo's gaze for about four seconds.Then he looked at his cards. Then back at Vincenzo."I'm just making conversation," he said."The conversation is finished," Vincenzo said. His voice was completely even. "The hand is finished.""I don't think I said anything out of order," the man said."You named someone at this table," Vincenzo said. "In a room where names are not used. That is out of order by the specific rules of this venue."The man looked around the table. Nobody was helping him."I didn't mean any disrespect," he said."Stand up," Vincenzo said.The man looked at him. "I'm in the middle of a game.""Stand up," Vincenzo said again. Same volume. Same tone.The man stood up.Vincenzo stood at the same time. He looked at the dealer. "Hold the table."He looked at me once. "Stay h

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    A Name From The Past

    Lenny's PovHe came back at one in the morning.I was on the couch with Shadow and the gun on the cushion beside me that I had not touched but had not put away either. The hours had stretched long and quiet, every small sound outside making my pulse jump. Shadow had stayed close, his warm weight against my leg the only steady thing while I waited in the dark.He came through the door, and I looked at his face, and the tight thing in my chest loosened."Giovanni signed it.""Tonight.""Tonight. Full declaration. Preemptive formal endorsement of the evidence file. His signature makes the fabricated statement Dante has carry no weight.""It's done.""The session tomorrow is a formality now. Yes."I put the gun back on the nightstand and came back to the couch, and he sat beside me, and Shadow climbed immediately onto his feet."Tomorrow. And then it's over."

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Message In The Box

    Vincenzo's PovI put the box on the kitchen table and told Lenny to step back.She stepped back without arguing, which told me she understood the weight of it. Her eyes stayed on the plain brown package, reading it the way I did carefully, completely.I looked at it for a moment. Plain brown paper. Her name in block letters. There was no return address, no courier company markings. Someone had paid cash for a private drop-off. The kind of delivery that left no trail."Is it dangerous?" Lenny asked from the counter. Her voice was steady, but I heard the edge beneath it."I don't think so," I said. "Dante wants me to open it. Whatever is inside is meant to be seen.""That's not reassuring," she said."It wasn't meant to be," I said.I opened it carefully at the seam. Clean paper coming apart at the fold. I kept my movements measured, aware of her watching every second.Inside was a white

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    What Was Meant To Be

    Lenny's POV"Explain?!" I spat out, throwing my plastic bag at him. "How the heck are you going to explain this?"He dodged—he always had surprisingly fast reflexes—and groaned, pulling up his pants and buckling swiftly."Sofia is a friend,""I'm sure she is," I seethed as he approached me. He had

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    I’ll Find You

    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

    Vincenzo’s POV"I swear I'll get you the money! I wasn't running... I wouldn't dare...!"Behind the pathetic pleading filling my ears, my 8 o’clock class loomed in my mind...I have an essay I've been putting aside. The professor was a pain, but he had a backbone unlike the others in my department,
