Rescued By The Boss CHAPTER FORTY ONE
Salvetti squeezed his nasal bridge. In this house, he was never allowed a moment of peace. In front of Salvetto's desk, the Capo sat with his hands folded on his leg and his ankle hooked over his knee, looking irritated. As Salvetti sighed angrily, he cocked an eyebrow.If you had only answered your phone, son, none of this would have happened.As he spoke, Salvetto's tone turned growly. "Can't you see I had a lot on my plate?"You're kidding me. He let out a snort. Saying anything ridiculous is "ludicrous" is absurd.While Salvetti stayed in the middle, Travis and Carter separated. Silent stone figures bound by oath.Cowards."Are you going to explain why our two finest clients were killed?""No.""Where's the cargo of guns?"Yes, we did, and here it is:Sooner or later, "a week from now." His voice radiated with disappointment. "The name Jesus Salvetti. You haven't been acting like yourself for weeks. Your behavior suggests that you are distracted. Honestly, do you want to be Capo?"

Lanaya probably would have spit out the meal she was chewing if not for Salvetti. She blinked rapidly to hide the tears that sickness had brought on. She winced as Mattheo stroked her arm with his while sipping her drink.Her skin was very delicate. She felt she needed to free herself from her body and grip her skull. When Salvetti touched her knee, things had gone from bad to worse. She focused her whole perceptual apparatus on that one cluster of nerve ends. Incredibly, she was able to finish her meal without embarrassingly vomiting.Mattheo adjusted in his seat, moving away just enough so he wouldn't accidentally touch her but close enough to be a presence. Despite her trembling arms, she took another mouthful while her mind was on Salvetto's touch. The feeling of sickness remained, albeit it was not as intense as before.Not the first night, either. Doc said sneakily. You ought to have seen him while she was in that coma, Dimitri. She claimed he was in and out of her room. We relo

You seem as though "the cat got the cream."Salvetti suppressed a grin as he read this. He should not have had the mental image of another man's daughter making an orgasmic expression fill his thoughts while he spoke to the father.When Salvetti sat down, Mattheo gave him the cold shoulder. Mattheo, however, was not one to employ facial characteristics. Thus his rendition of a death gaze consisted of nothing more than a little narrowing of the corner of his eyes. Salvetti was too distracted by the situation to wonder how he had done it."Hey, Mattheo, may I help?"Eyes blinking, he blinked. It is not my place to try to keep you away from my kid. But don't come to me with her perfume clinging to you like a vice; it's an insult.No one has the right to come between a man and his wife in any family. Thus Mattheo was absolutely right. They didn't tell her parents.My question is, "Does she know about your agreement with her?""My prior arrangements are irrelevant to my present arrangement

Salvetti grumbled angrily as he stared at his bed after a grueling seven hours and three murders.Lanaya was asleep on the wide mattress, sandwiched between Sasha and Salviana. They were all rendered unconscious by the blow. The television was switched off (it was presumably programmed to turn off after a particular time), and the women were buried alive behind a stack of pillows and blankets.After a moment’s hesitation, Salvetti pulled out his phone, snapped a snapshot, and immediately texted it to Barrow. What was going in Sasha’s head that led her to move in with Lanaya, of all people? Didn’t she feel so fatigued that there was nothing left for her to do but -I saw that he was blinking when I asked him how he was doing. The mongrel made itself at home because of Sasha’s protruding stomach and Lanaya’s diminutive height, which offered the ideal aperture for it to do so.After hearing a disturbance at the door, he looked up at Barrow, who was almost smiling due to what he saw.“Woma

Lanaya saw Mister Shanti and his wife enter the ambulance and speed away. To comfort a devastated Priya, Mahdiya and Yusuf had retreated to their bedroom. The poor kid was so upset that she was ill from crying, screaming, and kicking. Still, Lanaya could make out her stifled tears.Jacqueline went to the kitchen to prepare tea for the elderly man she called Sheikh. She had been accompanied by another of the men standing outside the whole way. Lanaya speculated that they suspected one of their own had poisoned Mister Shanti. Salvetti appeared to scowl at the Sheikh as though he suspected the latter of poisoning him but couldn't quite believe it was the latter.As soon as Salvetti saw that the ambulance had disappeared, he walked back to the house and stared at Lanaya."Go inside where it's safe."She gave him a glare of irritation. It's possible that the combination of exhaustion, anxiety, and fear she felt ultimately led her to act on her suicidal ideation. I said, "And do what?" blan

Day after day passed, gradually warming and raining more. The normally long-sleeved Lanaya opted for shorter quarter-length versions. The sleeve length that exposed her scars was unsettling, but at least she wasn't overheating.She wore long trousers to hide the scabs on her legs, but she reasoned that no one would comment if she went around with her scars and scabs on full show.Salviana and the other ladies would spend the mornings instructing her on how to behave politely and confidently while interacting with members of other Mafia families. She frequently ate lunch in Salvetto's office with Mattheo. While she didn't have much dialogue with them, she became closer to her father and the man helping her overcome her fears.The men in the rec room would spend the afternoons instructing her on how to act "properly" among other men, especially if she arrived on Salvetto's shoulder.Whenever Salvetti had to be elsewhere for his job, she would stay up late and sleep in. Since the attempt

Just after lunch, Salvetti dragged Lanaya into his office by the upper arm. She fought him the whole way; he didn't let her go until he'd locked the door. She crossed her arms over her stomach and scowled at him, a momentary look of terror crossing her face.The man looked at her blankly. Her erratic emotions were novel. While she had improved her ability to interact with others, he knew she was still terrified of them. Is this her method of coping with the terror she feels? Or was it simply the release of feelings she had repressed?Given Gallagher's character, it wasn't hard to deduce that they made her feel that her feelings and troubles didn't matter. He reasoned that if she didn't know how to go through her feelings and get to the bottom of the issue, then her reaction made sense. The closer Salvetti got, the more she retreated, attempting to evade him.He knew Lanaya was nervous, but that wouldn't stop him this time. To grow stronger, there was no other option. When she fell, her

While the Siciliano came and went, Salvetti, avoided going to Lanaya's quarters. All of this action was make her more anxious. She had run into her closet and huddled there, knees to chest, but the longer she waited for Salvetti to return, the less air she could breathe.Not that hiding there was a great idea, but she had nowhere else to go. When she tried to hide under the bed once before, Nathan Gallagher yanked her out by the hair and nearly threw her down the stairs.Her fear increased when she heard footsteps approaching for the simple reason that those weren't Salvetto's footprints. After violently opening the door, Lanaya released a startled cry of terror."Would you chill?" A superior voice came from above her. Saying, "If I really wanted to kill you, I'd just shoot the door and hope I hit you," is a common way to threaten someone into submission.Salviana towered over her, one hand on her hip, the other on the doorframe. She almost looked judgmental in her expression. As if s
