I stared mindlessly at the giant metal gates. They were huge but you could see the road ahead from between its slits.

I was sitting on the steps outside the front door where Lorenzo mostly patrolled. He stood behind me right now, I could hear him sigh every two seconds.

"He is not coming, Mrs. Costello"

My head snapped in his direction, my lips parted, and I got up and faced him. "Do you know where he is?"

Lorenzo opened and closed his mouth before he shook his head. "Stop waiting for him, Mrs. Costello. He has no plan of getting back to you"

I swallowed thickly. "Where is he?"

"I'm not allowed to say..."

"Where is he, Lorenzo"

"My loyalties lie with Don Niko, Madam"

"And I'm his wife, you should be loyal to me too!"

"I'm loyal to you, I will protect you with my life but I don't take orders from you. I only take orders from your husband"

I nodded, Lorenzo was one of his closest men, it's understandable that he will not do anything without Nikolai's order
