Giovanni POV:

I hadn’t any idea what just happened, one moment we were discussing plans with the Detective and the next she had gone cold, in a way she’d never done with me. She was rigid and firm, her voice trembled with fear. I wanted to grab her and hold her, ask her what had made her so upset, but the look in her eyes strayed my hand.

She went off without another word, it wasn’t my intention to ever see her in that state. We hadn’t told her about Marco simply for his protection, we didn’t know who could be listening in so it was only ever discussed in my home, in my room which was swept for bugs daily. I didn’t dare mention it at the office where anybody could walk inside.

I waited in my office unsure of whether to follow her, part of me screamed that I should run after her and apologize even though I didn’t know what I had done wrong. The other part of me stayed put, hoping she would calm down and speak to me rationally.

I went over and poured myself a drink as Luca walked in

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 87

    Giovanni POV: We were headed to one of the endless locations that Domenico could be hiding at. I was desperate to find him, if he had enough time, he’d kill us all. Luca was by my side this time. I wasn’t sure if I had made a mistake, but I was hoping sending Marco with her would throw him off the scent. She’d be furious with me for sure, sending her back to Italy all on her own. Truth be told, I’d had this planned for weeks. I’d made my father promise that should anything happen to me, he’d defend her to the death. It was a slim chance that we’d get out of this alive, but I’d rather face her fury than her corpse. She could be angry with me all she wanted, so long as she was safe. Luca picked up his phone beside me. Marco would be sure to keep her safe. All I needed was confirmation she was on the plane, and then I could get this job done. Instead of the solemn nod I expected, I took small glances over toward my cousin as I drove. The blood had gone from his face, and he couldn’t

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 86

    Arianna POV: I felt a horrible burn and a ring from two points on my chest as I came to. My entire body ached, and I couldn’t quite understand where I was or what was happening. The last thing I remembered my father had escaped, and I believe I had been taken. I opened up my eyes, squinting as light streamed in. I blinked, my head throbbed, and pounded. I tried to move to see where I was, but I couldn’t. It took me a second to realize that I was bound to a chair. I looked down to see a rope tying my legs, and I moved my hands behind me. Unfortunately, I didn’t think I had the strength to get out of this. “Oh!” I heard someone say behind me… no, not someone. Guilia.“Guilia?” My voice came out. My sister came into view just as she gave me a sinister smirk. WHACK. She drove her hand across my face, my cheek stinging as she slapped me. “That’s for my dress,” she pulled back her hand, and again, WHACK. Another slap stung across my cheek. I felt a little dribble. I think some blood

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 85

    Arianna POV: I felt vindicated, watching them all run around like ants under the magnifying glass. All those times that I was worried this would happen. All those moments were something whispered in my ear that he was going to pull a stunt like this. I wasn’t crazy. I wasn’t some traumatized little girl who was certain that the bogeyman was coming to get her. I had seen what others had not and knew what my father was capable of. They all ran around trying to lock down the highways, put out a search party for the radius of what? How far are they going to block things? Did they honestly think they would catch them? Giovanni was like a general going over possible locations with Mosley. They leaned over a map, as he listed off every single piece of property he was aware of, not to mention allies nearby. My father wouldn’t be that stupid. He’d go somewhere new, somewhere unexpected. He’d been held for tax evasion, a list of his assets was acquired. No piece of his property was safe, a

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 84

    Giovanni POV: She’d been frozen on the bench, but I pulled her up into my arms and spun her around. I felt like the world was off my shoulders, as if I’d been encased in concrete for a decade, and then suddenly I was free. Like I had been thrown into a lake and my body was floating. I wrapped her in a tight hug, cheering. Applause erupted around the courtroom as he was hailed away. Guilty on all accounts. I’m going to have to find a photo of his face as they sentenced him. Life in prison no no chance of parole. We were free. We had won. We ran out of the courthouse like it was burning. If I never had set foot in another one again, it would be too soon. “Where should we go?” I asked her, hoping that she would tell me to book the first flight to Italy. We didn’t have to stay here anymore, we can go home. She would never have to feel this lonely or frightened again, she could be safe and held with a family, my family.“Take me out,” she stated, simply ordering a night out on the to

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 83

    Domenico POV: I couldn’t believe it. I think I was in shock. That people actually go into shock. I’ve never been in shock. They were putting the handcuffs on me and taking me out of the courtroom. I tried to turn and look at my daughter one last time, but the bailiff grabbed me by the back of my neck and forced me forward. GuiltyGuiltyGuiltyThey had found me guilty on all charges, which was ridiculous. I mean, come on, yeah sure, I couldn’t get away from some of them, but I was pretty good at covering my tracks. This was all because they were vindictive, tiny little worms, trying to overthrow the king. I’ll I’ll get out. I’ll find a way. I’ll hire better lawyers. I’ll bribe the next judge. I’ll kill a senator if I have to. But I was getting out one way or another. I was forced backed into a cell to sitting there, thinking about how I could best take care of that fucking greasy weasel. He had taken my daughter and now my freedom. I should’ve killed him a long time ago. It was t

  • Into the darkness   Chapter 82

    Arianna POV: Today was closing arguments, it was a crazy mix of emotions. Half of me was confident that we were going to see this through, the other half was sure he’d find a way to escape. I didn’t know what to think or how this would end. All I could do was hold onto Giovanni and pray that it would be in our favor. I had somehow gotten used to being in the state, holding his hand, my palms sweaty, my heart racing as we listened to the closing arguments. The defense was doing a good job of painting my father as a man taken advantage of by his employees, while his beloved daughter was cruelly turned against him by a business rival, who used the situation to take over his business. The way he painted me out to be naive and foolish, the wicked strings that Giovanni held me by. My broken heart was swayed by his beautiful eyes and chilling smile. They may not be wrong there, but naive I was not, and he was the key to freedom. I felt like he was trying to trap me again, paint me into
