Elijah and I had to share a ride once more since I didn't bring mine. Harvey didn't have trouble finding out where Anthony Jhon was. As I had expected and hopped, he was in his mansion, a sitting duck, waiting for his end to come without even knowing it.I could tell that Dante wanted to get to the Fimbar mansion as fast as he could with the recless way he was driving. But we managed to get there without causing a traffic accident or driving off the road even thought it looked like that was the road he was heading.The second we parked in front of the house, Dante hopped out of his car without cutting the engine off and walked towards the front door, leaving the door of his car wide open. We followed after him, watching as he questioned a single man at the door to point him in the direction of where A.J. was. That led us to Anthony's home office.Dante was leading the group to the office, ignoring the sigh of the men and women in black standing around. The second he pushed the door i
Jacopo Nicolo..."I'll look into it, love." I commented, the frown deepening on my face when I heard my wife let out a heavy sigh."How are you going to do that?" She asked.It was obvious that she was worried about Helena Fimbar, and she was right to. Clearly, there was something going on in the Fimbar house, and the information was waiting for me right on top of Dante's desk."I'm at Dante's place, and he has me looking into the recent activities of the members of the web who were invited to the villa that night. I'm sure he had Anthony Jhon in there somewhere." I replied."Seriously?" She sounded surprised that we could get our hands on anything that quick."Yeah, apparently, miles worked over time in getting the info, but Dante wants us personally to lool into them in case we miss something. He gave Miles time off after that." I replied with a sigh of my own."Okay. As long as you're safe in an office, I'm more than happy." She commented. "I have to go. but I will call if I find a
Ezabella Viper...After Ella, Cilvia, and I prepared for lunch, we waited for the ladies to arrive in the living room while keeping her kids company. Once the ladies of the web started showing up, Ella told Dalinda to take her kids to their room.We waited for all of the ladies to arrive before we moved to the dining room for lunch. The last ladies to arrive at the mansion were Piper and Helena Fimbar, and that was when the gathering turned into an observation game where everyone had their eyes on the two Fimbar ladies and their interaction with each other.I noticed a few things the second the ladies arrived in the sitting room. The first thing was that Helena was leading Piper into the room. That has never happened with a mother and a daughter-in-law unless those two ladies are Ella and Cilvia. The mother-in-las never let the wife's of their sons walk in front of them, which was why everyone started looking at the duo with curiosity. It also happened with their sitting arra
Jacopo Nicolo..."We should be working on attacking right now, not..." I sighed, looking at the pile of folders on Dante's desk.Elijah and I had arrived at Dante's house expecting to make plans on the attack. I needed to kill that witch, and I needed it to be as soon as possible. But Dante clearly had mother plans."We will work on that, just not now." Dante replied."He's jealous that I have a clean city, and he doesn't." Victor commented, smirking from his sitting spot by the shelf."Shut it." Dante shot back before returning his attention back to the two of us. "Unless we know who the heck switched on the location of the Villa, we can not safely attack and come out of it alive. They could be reporting all of our moves to that witch for all we know." I had a great urge to roll my eyes at him, but I bit my tongue."Don't you have other people who can do this?" Elijah asked, staring at the pile of folders"And risk the members of the web knowing that I am looking into their rec
Jacopo and I sat at the dining table with the Smiths, along with Connor and Cane."It is too dangerous, Ella." Elijah commented, looking at her with a pleading gaze."Come on..." Ella playfully groan. "You can have more people around during the gathering. I just want to have the ladies over for lunch and tea, maybe even paint a little."Elijah sighed."Don't act like we haven't done this before." Ella continued. "Heck, we'll have Connor sticking to us like a gum, right Connor?" Ella stated at Connor, who immideately nodded his head.Another sigh.Jacopo and I shared a look. Ella has been asking Elijah to let her have a gathering in the house since the moment we sat down. Heck, she might have even been asking before we got to the dining room."What do you think, Nicolo?" Elijah asked, and I knew it was just to divert the attention on him to my husband so he would no longer be the target of Ella's pursuit."Like you care what I think." Jacopo mumbled, glaring at Elijah over a cup of co
Ezabella Viper...I had a lot on my mind to the point that I lost track of time. Ella's twin daughters were a great distraction, keeping Ella, Cilvia, and I company for the rest of the day.I got to see first-hand Ella in her mother mode, taking care of the kids with such care that it made me miss the baby I am yet to give birth to.I tried to spend as much time as I could with the kids. Ella even taught me how to properly change diapers. I tried my best to forget all of the drama, tuck it deep at the back of my head, and focused on the girls, so much so that Cilvia came to me just to whisper that I was going to make a great mother.Damn it if I didn't tear up at that moment. The day actually went by quickly, and before I knew it, we were putting the twins in their beds and gathering up in the sitting room after we had our early dinner, having a conversation over tea.We must have been in the sitting room for ten minutes before we heard the door open."They're finally back." Cil
Jacopo Nicolo...I parked my car near the front door of Dante's house and cut off the engine.A soft sigh escaped my lips as I leaned my head back against the head rest and closed my eyes.Damn it.I didn't want to be here.I wanted to be in the arms of the woman I love. Why was I here again away from her?Right. To interogate the shooters who almost took her away from me.I wanted to at least take a few seconds for myself, but I was interrupted by a quick tap on the window, jointing me out of my peaceful state.I glanced over and saw Victor leaning down to face me, the window fogging due to his breath at how close he was."You coming?" He asked, his voice barely making it into the inside of my car.Another sigh escaped my lips before I nodded my head, unlocked the door, and pushed the car open to hop out. I looked at Victor up and down, still wearing the same clothes he had on the previous night."Did you spend the night here?" I asked as I slammed the door of my cat shut.
"Helena, hi..." Ella finally spoke into the phone, and it was obvious from her voice that she did not expect Helena to answer the phone."Hi." Helena chuckled at how awkward Ella sounded."How have you been?" Ella asked."I've been better. But honestly, I'm fine. More than fine, actually. I feel like I'm finally finding my footing again, you know, getting back on my feet. I feel like I can finally breathe again." Helena replied.Her enthusiastic voice and manner rubbed me the wrong way, and it was obvious that the other ladies were feeling the same way as well."The last time I saw you was at the Fimbar Mansion, and you really didn't want to look at us anymore, let alone speak to us. What changed?" Ella slowly asked, trying her best not to upset Helena."Well... I was a bit mean back then, weren't I?" Helena chuckled. "I was just a hit under pressure...""Under pressure from what?' Cilvia spoke up, and we looked at her. The three of us had agreed that if by some miracle the phone is
Ezabella Viper...I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, and it was not because I had the bed sleep ever of because I had the long sleep my body craved. No. It was because of what Jacopo did the previous night, and how he stepped into the shower knowing it was something his body didn't want him to do.This man was constantly putting his body in the line for me, and I don't know what more proof I could possibly need to know just how much he loves me.First it was running into a burning building for me, and then it was choosing to save me first, and then it was stepping in front of a bullet for me the previous night, and then on the same night, it was stepping under the warm water knowing he would have a bad reaction to it because of his horrible experience.It felt like I truly don't deserve the amount of love he has for me, like I haven't given him enough as much as he has given me.Waking up next to him after we had a scary night and then an amazing moment in the shower f
