ALINA

I stepped behind the office desk and sat down, turning a sour look on Vector who sat in front of the desk.

“What do you want, Vector?” There was no use in pulling my punches. I didn't want him around me, not with Luca raging mad after the last time he found out.

Vector’s dark brown orbs were a bottomless pit. There was no emotions on his face, his graying hair was swept away from his jaw and the scar across his face still slashed his cheeks harshly.

He grimaced as he looked around the office. “Alberto has something planned. I'm not sure who he plans on attacking, but he will attack. Make peace with him.”

I sat up, my skin pricking like someone had sank needles into me. “Make peace with Alberto? He killed Valerie!” I hissed the words, too distraught to care about sounding calm.

I would need to get Vector away from my mother. Calling him back had been a waste of my time. It was obvious he was on Alberto’s side. Even worse, I'd need to tell Luca that I'd run into Vector here tod

    LUCAThe next morning, I was up before the sun. Campbell called just after I got out of the shower, his voice businesslike. "They want to see you again for an interrogation. You know the drill."I did, only too well. But it was the worst fucking day for this. "They're going to bring up the plea deal again," he added. "Just stick to what we discussed. If you're sure you won't take it of course.”I knew damned well I wasn't taking it. My life was disintegrating enough. There was no damned way that I was going to be pleading guilty to Victoria’s murder. "I'm not taking it," I said, pulling on a clean black shirt. "I told you. I'm not pleading guilty to something I didn't do.""You might not get another offer, but if you're sure.” "Then they can keep it."Still, my mind was nowhere near calm as I kissed Alina and left the house.I could see that she was still worried about her mother's marriage. I would need to find my father and have a conversation with him. There was also that fo

    ALINAI watched Luca's face closely as he told me about the footprints. He was calm, too calm, which only meant he was trying not to scare me, or the kids, but I could see it in the tightness of his jaw, the way his fingers drummed against the edge of the windowpane. Something had shaken him."You don’t think someone actually got this close to the house, do you?" I asked, keeping my voice as calm as his had been. He didn’t answer immediately. He exhaled slowly."I already called Pietro. They're going to do a quiet sweep of the property. I don’t want to alarm the kids."My stomach dropped. "You think someone’s still here?""I don’t know. But whoever it was, they weren’t wearing shoes. That means they were being careful. Very careful.” “How come the men didn't catch this man? If Leo hadn't seen him, we wouldn't even know.” I muttered. “There will be questions later, Alina. Right now, we need to find this man, and we need to find who he came from.” My chest tightened. There was onl

    LUCAI knew I hit him harder than I needed to. The sharp pain up my arm wasn’t just from the impact of fist against jaw, it was from the anger still running wild inside me. Marco staggered back, blinking, then stood with a calm, mocking tilt of his head.“What the hell was that for?” he asked, lips curving slightly like he wasn’t sure whether to be pissed or impressed.I forced my breathing to steady, but my fists were still clenched.“That was for being careless with the gold,” I said. “You dropped it at Talciro's warehouse and forgot to tell anyone? How the fuck did it show up there when we've been searching for it?” He raised both hands like he was surrendering. “I had handed the gold to the truck driver. You could have fucking asked instead of punching me in the damn face, Luca.” I didn’t answer. The truth was, I wasn’t just mad about the gold. I was mad about my father. About the way his voice still got under my skin after all these years. The things he said. The things he

    LUCAThe minute I answered the call and heard my father’s voice, my chest went tight like a trigger being pulled halfway.“I have an offer for you,” Matteo said, calm like we were discussing business and not trying to bury each other alive. “Walk away from Alina. File for divorce. I’ll make your little court case disappear.”I didn’t speak. I just stared at the window like maybe the glass could shatter from silence.“She’s a liability,” he continued. “She’s cost you more than she’s worth. You want to survive this world, son? Cut her loose and take over Costa. Kill her if you have to. But take that crown while it’s still warm.”I swallowed the taste of rust. “Kill her?” My voice barely sounded like mine.“It’s not personal,” he said. “It’s strategic. You’re too soft now. You used to have guts, now look at you—letting some girl pull your strings.”I let out a low, hollow laugh. “Then why not kill Bella, if you’re so hungry for blood? She was the one who sheltered me when you were too bu

    ALINAI didn’t even remember walking out of the bathroom. I didn't remember anything at all. I thought for a moment I'd floated away from the feelings coursing through me. I kept staring at that pregnancy stick, as though I needed to make sure what I was seeing was right in front of my face. Then one minute I was on the floor staring at the tiles, the next, I was in my closet pulling on a sweater and boots, keys tightly clenched in my hand.The pharmacy was five minutes away, but the drive felt like an hour. My heart beat like a drum the entire time, my fingers tight around the steering wheel as if that would keep them from shaking.I didn’t want to hope. I didn’t want to dream. Not yet. Not when the thought of disappointment could rip me open worse than a bullet wound.But God….what if?I grabbed the tests like a thief, ignoring the curious stare from the cashier as I quickly, and drove back home without even turning on the radio.Back in the bathroom, I tore through the box lik

    ALINAAdriano’s suitcase sat open on his bed, clothes folded in neat stacks. For a boy who’d spent half his childhood throwing things everywhere, the sight almost broke me. He was quiet as he worked, his jaw tight, eyes focused on the bag like packing socks was a matter of life or death.“You’re sure you’ve got everything?” I asked, leaning against the doorframe, trying to sound light even though something in his silence made my stomach twist.“Yeah.” He zipped the bag and turned to me. That was when I saw it. His eyes were filled with questions. He sighed, looked away, the back at me again. “What’s wrong?” My voice softened without thinking.He hesitated, then sighed again. “I still haven’t changed my mind, Alina.”I blinked. “About what?”“The Mafia. I’m not doing it. I’m not taking over. And I wanted to let you know that when I graduate…I’m leaving the country.”The words punched into my guts. “Leaving?” I repeated, stunned.He nodded. “Yeah. For good. I don’t…I don’t want to
