LENA POV

The cars sped away from the warehouse while smoke filled the night sky behind us. Flames still consumed parts of the building. Distant sirens rose through the dark. Salvatore's men secured the perimeter and Diego coordinated the remaining teams over the communication system. Dante had disappeared. Charlie held the recovered documents close.

    CHAPTER 116 LENA POVWeeks had passed since the warehouse, but the memory of fire and gunfire still felt close enough to touch. The investigation into Uncle David and the massacre continued. Charlie and Diego worked through the recovered documents with careful persistence. Salvatore had become more careful in his decisions. Our enemies hadn't disappeared, but inside the safehouse there were stretches of ordinary life that would've been impossible only a month earlier.I noticed the small changes in him first. He asked whether I'd eaten. He waited for me instead of ordering me to follow. He listened when I spoke. He no longer decided every detail of my day without asking. For the first time I was beginning to understand what it meant to love someone without disappearing inside them.Yet something about my own body felt different. I was unusually tired. I woke up exhausted. Certain smells unsettled me. Occasional waves of nausea arrived without warning. Strange food cravings appeared

    CHAPTER 115 SALVATORE POVLena's confession hung between us. She'd said the words clearly, without hesitation, and for the first time in years the most feared man in the room didn't know how to answer. My first instinct was to say them back. My mouth almost formed the reply. Then the memories of my father came back without mercy.I remembered being a boy, watching him laugh with my mother, feeling the solid safety of his arms when he carried me, believing our family was untouchable because we stood together. Then the massacre. Blood. Gunfire. Screaming. My father's body on the floor. The people he loved becoming the exact weaknesses his enemies used against him.Love hadn't saved my father. Love had given his enemies something to take from him.I looked at Lena and felt a fear that had nothing to do with Dante, the men outside, or the war still waiting for us. I was terrified of losing her.She noticed the silence. I watched uncertainty settle into her expression as she began to wond

Salvatore's men secured the perimeter and Diego coordinated the remaining teams over the communication system. Dante had disappeared. Charlie held the recovered documents close.I barely registered any of it. I sat in the car beside Salvatore, finally alive and out of Dante's reach, but my hands wouldn't stop shaking.I'd imagined being rescued so many times. I'd imagined running into his arms and feeling safe. I'd never imagined what would happen after the adrenaline drained away. I looked through the window at the burning structure, the same place where I'd nearly watched him die, and my breathing turned uneven.Salvatore noticed at once. "Lena?"I couldn't answer. He reached toward me. I flinched, not because I was afraid of him, but because my body was still reacting to everything that had happene

    CHAPTER 113 SALVATORE POVThe warehouse doors opened without warning. I raised my weapon and prepared for the next wave of Dante's men. Instead Lena stood several meters away, surrounded by armed guards.For one second the entire building disappeared. The guns, the trap, Dante, the locked room none of it registered. There was only her.She looked directly at me. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she subtly shook her head. I froze. She wasn't telling me to stay away. She was warning me that someone was watching every move we made."Lena.""Don't."Dante stepped into view behind her, calm like the entire scene belonged to him. "Beautiful reunion, isn't it?"My eyes never left her. "Let her go.""You still don't understand. This isn't about letting her go." He gestured toward the warehouse around us. "It's about what you're willing to destroy to get her."Charlie's voice reached me in a low whisper. One of the security cameras was pointed straight at her. "She isn't the target. She's bait

    CHAPTER 112 LENA POVI sat in the penthouse long after midnight, unable to sleep. Everything Dante had shown me kept circling through my thoughts my brothers' involvement in the criminal routes, the transportation company, the warehouse records, the connection to my mother's old papers, Salvatore's collapsing empire, and the way Dante seemed frightened by certain pieces of information.The television screen suddenly turned on. Salvatore appeared on the security feed, standing inside the warehouse beside Charlie. He looked tense and alert. Charlie was examining something on a table. The warehouse doors closed without warning. The image flickered, then went black.I heard Salvatore shout Dante's name before the connection cut completely.My heart stopped. I'd spent days trying to convince myself that Salvatore would find me. Now, when he finally came looking, I was watching someone trap him.Dante entered the room with the same calm expression he always wore. I turned on him, furious.

    CHAPTER 111 SALVATORE POVI stood over the large map of Naples inside the war room while everything stayed quiet enough that every small sound carried. Charlie had spent hours connecting old transportation records, warehouse ownership documents, and financial transfers. Finally he had something solid.A warehouse network on the outskirts of Naples linked to the same transportation company that appeared in the documents Dante showed Lena. Charlie explained that the warehouses had been officially abandoned years earlier, but several of them had received recent power and security upgrades. Someone was using them.The district was isolated with multiple exit routes, including underground service roads. The properties were registered under different companies, and those companies connected back to old financial channels. One payment record led to an administrative network tied to Uncle David."I found the network," Charlie said. "Not Dante himself, but the people moving his supplies. Eve
