LUCA

I sat in my office, fingers around the heavy glass of my tumbler. The whiskey burned down my throat, but it didn’t do much to calm me.

The latest shipment of guns was late. I hated delays.

These weren’t just any guns. The businesses who ordered from me paid top price because they knew I only dealt with the best.

No second-rate stock, no excuses, and definitely no waiting. If I didn’t deliver on time, they’d start looking elsewhere.

And that wasn’t going to happen.

Marco sat across from me, relaxed in a way that made my patience even thinner.

"Anything yet?"

He shook his head. "Still nothing."

I held the glass tighter, then deliberately loosened my fingers. I didn’t want to break the glass. It had been a birthday gift from Sofia. "I want updates every five minutes. If that shipment isn’t here soon, I’ll be the one handling it myself."

Marco didn’t argue. He just nodded, watching as I downed the rest of my drink and set the empty glass on the desk with a dull thud.

I leaned back in

    ALINAFor a second, all I could hear was the pounding in my ears.Analide was smirking like the cat that got the cream. Luca stood like a wall between us, his face calm but his eyes, God, his eyes, burned like coals.And then it hit me. It was that smirk. It was th way she looked so satisfied. She knew she could piss me off. She had studied me for months while she pretended to be my friend. Analide wanted me to soubt Luca. It really didn't matter to her if he had done anything to deserve that doubt or not. But Luca, my monster, he wouldn't cheat on me. Especially not in his office where anyone could walk in at any moment. Even if he wanted to, he wasn't that stupid. So I took a deep breathe, stepping into his arms. Analide’s smirk widened.What? Did she expect I would slap him? Because instead, I grabbed Luca’s jaw with both hands and crushed my lips to his. His body went rigid for half a second, but he groaned and snatched my body against his. Luca kissed like a starving ma

    ALINAI knew I had to meet Mila. She couldn't do that. When I arrived at her apartment, I could see her sneak a look at me from the window above. And when she opened the door, it was only halfway. Stading T me, she didn't say hello, or ask me to step inside. “What do you want, Alina?” She asked flatly.“I told you on the phone,” I said. “I want to talk.”“You said enough already. Please leave.” She started to shut the door, but I planted my palm against it and pushed.“I’m not leaving.” I walked inside before she could argue. The living room was small, neat, and full of photographs of Mikhail. Him in a uniform. Him holding a baby. Him smiling at his wife on their wedding day. You would never know the violence he was involved in outside the house. Guilt bit into me, but I ignored it. “You told me you know about Victoria. How?”Mila crossed her arms. “Mikhail told me.”I shook my head, feeling cold, because the lie was so obvious it almost sounded like a joke. “No, he didn’t.”Her

    ALINA“My question is simple, Alina,” my mother said. Her voice was sharp, and it made me hold the phone tighter. “Now that you’ve killed your uncles, what do you expect the family to do?”I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the carpet like it had the answer. “What do you mean, what do I expect you to do? The family doesn’t need to do anything.”“Don’t be ridiculous. You’ve thrown a torch into the middle of the room. People will choose sides.”Heat flushed my neck. “Adriano put a kill order on me, Mother. He wanted me dead in my own house. What would you have done? Sat there and prayed he changed his mind?”“You didn’t have to do what you did,” she shot back, her tone cold. “At the very least, you didn’t have to let Luca pull the trigger.”I almost laughed. It came out so dry I wanted to pull my own hair out. “You think Luca shot him?”“You’re telling me he didn’t?” I could hear the hope in her voice, and I wondered since when my mother had changed so much. I couldn't recognize

    LUCAThe next morning started as calm as any morning the last few days. Alina was still asleep when I slid out of bed, her hair a dark spill over the pillows. She stretched, blinking her eyes open. “Where are you going?” Her eyes were hooded, and she was smiling softly. I leaned over and kissed her cheeks. I didn't deserve her, or even the sight of her. “I'm going for a walk with Bruno. I need to walk some of this energy off.” She nodded, sighed and closed her eyes, falling back to sleep a few seconds later. I smiled, shaking my head as I pulled on a shirt. Bruno was waiting by the door, his tail shaking. He barked when I stepped through the door, his leash already caught between his teeth. I knelt and rubbed my fungers through his fur. Today would be a long day. “Come on boy,” I muttered, grabbing the leash and stepping outside. The air was cold, just how I liked it at this hour of the day. Bruno walked ahead, his small tail wagging as he investigated every sound and leaf dan

    LUCAShe walked out like she hadn’t just torn the soul from a man. Head high, spine straight, not a shake in her fingers. I saw it though, there was a shadow coiling in her shoulders, the anger pressing down as she pushed through the door outside with Pietro. I needed to make sure Alberto was dead before I left. His blood had stained the floor, but it wasn't enough anymore. Pulling the gun Alina had used, I emptied more bullets into his stomach, until he was still on the floor. Vector was still leaning against the wall, his legs crossed as he stared at Alberto. “I never could believe he would have changed so much.” He muttered. I turned to him slowly, and before he could blink, I slammed him against the wall so hard his head bounced right off. He grunted, but he didn't fight back. And for a moment, I wished he would so I could punch the hell out of him. “I told you to stay away from her.” My voice was a whisper. Vector’s lips were white and tight.m. “I couldn’t. She was at risk

    ALINAArriving with Pietro and Marco to pick up Luca, we sat in the car while Campbell asked for and got bail. I'd been sitting in the car for damned near three hours, and I didn't mind waiting for another three if it meant I got to see Luca walking out of those doors. As though I'd called him out with my thoughts, I saw him then. His hair hung down his face, yet, he ran his hand through it, his arm blocking his face from the reporters who were taking pictures of him leaving. “Who told them he was leaving now?” I asked. “No one has to. The reporters never left him alone, Alina. He's The Monster. They just as surprised as you are that he's in there.” Luca slid into the back of the car behind me. I turned and threw my arms around him, hugging myself into his sides. “Luca, don't do that to me ever again.” “You don't have to worry about that, Sunshine. That will never happen again.” “Good,” I closed my eyes, relaxing my head against the pump of his heart under his skin. “But, I ha
