LUCA

“Come on. Let's go see what this bunker looks like.”

Vector shook his head. “I'm not sure that's a good idea.”

“I need to know what this place looks like.” I informed him, already standing. “If you don't show it to me, I'll find someone else who can.”

Vector and I left the office with the kind of silence that wasn’t comfortable, but it wasn’t hostile either.

The kind that felt like both of us were weighing whether the other one was going to suddenly pull a gun.

Outside, the late afternoon light was dimming, stretching the shadows across the street like they were trying to trip us.

I kept pace with him, both of us heading for his car because if we took mine, I’d just end up driving us straight through whatever gate Alvez was hiding behind and get myself killed before the night was over.

Vector’s bruises looked worse outside.

One eye was swollen halfway shut, and there was a split on his lip that still looked fresh.

Whoever had gotten to him didn’t just want to make a point,

  • Signed To The Mafia King   Chapter 187

    LUCAMy hands on the wheel was the only thing holding me together.Not the caffeine, not the plan running in my head like clockwork, just that steady vibration that kept me from blowing the whole city up before I even reached the office.It was times like this that I realized just how lonesome it could get. With Alina stuck in the safe house, there was no one to talk to. And I couldn't call her too often. Who knew? Maybe someone was keeping track of my calls and movements, I couldn't lead them right back to her. I drove with one hand on the wheel, the other on the phone, scrolling past names that meant trouble and landing on one I hadn’t seen in a couple of days. Analide.I hadn’t called her since that day I let her go. Now, when she answered, I went right in. “Call Alvez, tell him you want to meet." “Except I don't want to meet. Why would I do that?” “You do. You just don't know it yet. Has he reached out to you? Or have you reached out to him.?” “No, I've been trying to hea

    LUCAThe call came in before I’d even had coffee the next morning. Rafael’s voice was tight. He only spoke like that when something had gone wrong in a way that would cost us.“Boss, we’ve got a problem in the streets.”I was still half in the dark of my study, one shoulder leaning against the wall, phone pressed to my ear. “What kind of problem?”“There was an overdose. It happened last night. Word’s getting out and around.”That yanked the last of the sleep out of my narrowed eyes. Cleared it in a way so brutal even coffee couldn't do it. Overdoses weren’t just bad for optics, they were bad for business. A man who was dead couldn’t earn, and a man who was chasing his next fix was unpredictable, sloppy. In my world, sloppy people get killed.“What was it?” I asked, my voice low.There was a pause. Too long. I could hear the shuffle of movement on his end, the faint honk of traffic somewhere behind him.“Rafael?” I proded. “Cocaine,” he said finally.I closed my eyes and swore un

    LUCATalciro’s voice was a gravel scrape over the line.“You think you can just walk away from me, boy?”I kept my tone flat. “I don’t think. I decide. And I’ve decided I’m done.”Silence. Then a chuckle that wasn’t remotely amused.“You belong to me. You’ve always belonged to me since you worked for me the first time. Did you think I was going to trust my gold to a man I couldn't control?”“No,” I said, staring out across the loading bay where men moved crates into place. “I’ve belonged to me since the day I stopped answering to anyone. I'm mine and it's not up for negotiation.” “Careful, Luca,” he said, voice dropping into that dangerous calm that made lesser men flinch. “You keep talking like that and I might have to remind you what happens to people who cross me.”I almost laughed. “You think I’m scared of you?”“No,” he said. “I think you should be.” The long pause was poisonous. “And if you won’t be… maybe the police will be very interested in what I know. You’ve got bodies in

    LUCAThe call with Olga dragged longer than it should have.He swore, again, that Marco hadn’t so much as stepped an inch out of line.He hadn't had any late night meetings, no calls from blocked nunbers, and no accidentally ending up anywhere he shouldn’t have been. The man was squeaky clean, at least he was now that I was watching. And that was the problem.Squeaky clean meant one of two things: he was either innocent… or good enough to cover his tracks.“I’m telling you, Luca, he’s not moving shady,” Olga said for the third time, voice tight, like he was defending a cousin.“Then go back to that warehouse,” I said, pacing the length of my office. “The same one where I saw him with Ethan. Ask Ethan about the bomb. And don’t just ask, press him. I want a straight answer, not that I don’t know crap he gives you when he’s lying.”I heard Olga’s footsteps creak across the floor. “And if he asks why?”“Tell him I’m curious. Or tell him I’m paranoid. Hell, tell him I’m bored. I don’t ca

    LUCAFor the next half hour, that’s exactly what I let happen. Maya directed the bear’s tea preferences, Leo dictating every step of the track assembly like a general. I nodded, followed orders, even pretended to argue once or twice just to hear them fight back.They told me about their day.Leo’s had a lunchtime soccer game, Maya’s art project involving more glitter than should allowed for use in one project. I laughed when I was supposed to, asked questions when they wanted me to, and kept the rest to myself.Because if I told them about my day, I’d have to tell them about the car, the bullets, and the fact that a man like Alvez had promised to take away everything in this room.So I just sat there. Let their words fill the air instead of mine.Eventually, Maya climbed into my lap, small and warm, still talking about the bear’s tea etiquette. Leo kept tinkering with the track, muttering about speed, and gravity. There was nothing to compare to the peace of being in a peaceful

    LUCA“And if you die, what do you think will happen to your family?”Vector’s question wasn’t a real question. It was the kind that was supposed to make you stop doing whatever you’re doingz and think. Unfortunately for him, those words only made me want to lean into it harder.“My family will be fine,” I said, shoving another magazine into the Glock. “They’ve got me.”Vector shot me a look that was halfway between disbelief and pity. “That’s not how death works, Luca.”“No,” I said, aiming through the window and firing at the shadows in the trees. “That’s how I work.”Another shot clanged against the hood, and I jerked my head down, watching as Vector's hood mirror shattered. Vector floored it, the car moving forward hard enough to rattle my teeth. I could barely see the trees for how fast he was going, and that meant I could barely pick out the flashes of light from whoever was trying to put holes in us. I counted four shooters, maybe five. They weren’t chasing, which meant the
