LUCA

I stood outside the bathroom, fists still clenched at my sides.

Analide stood beside me like a well-meaning shadow. “You really should come with me,” she said, slipping her hand around my arm. “My father’s expecting you. It’s just a quick meeting. A toast and a handshake.”

A muscle twitched in my jaw. Was she asking me to meet her father right now? Couldn't she read the room?

Alina was in that bathroom, probably crying with wine all over her dress. The one she glowed in, when she first tried it on, and showed it to me when I came to pick her up.

And Analide thought I cared about some meeting with her father?

I pulled my arm free. “Not now.”

She frowned. “But he’s waiting.”

“I said not now!” I snapped, stepping away. But she followed, hurrying too fast behind me.

I stopped right in front of the bathroom door, just as it opened.

And of course Victoria stepped out because what better way to worsen my mood than having to deal with her?

She was smiling as she came out, but immedia

    LUCA “Look who crawled out of his hole,” I said, standing from the bunk, rolling my shoulders like I had all the time in the world. “How long you been rotting away in here? A year? Two?” His face didn’t move. He just stood there, thick neck bulging like he was choking on rage. I chuckled, tilting my head. “Let me guess, you’re here from Alberto? He sent you to take your shot before he does?” Paolo spat into the corner, his eyes black pits of hate. “Alberto’s a bastard.” That made me grin wider. “Good to know we agree on something. But I don’t care why you’re here.” I stepped closer until I was toe to toe with him, until I could smell the stench of his breath. The last time I'd seen him was at my wedding ceremony disrespecting my wife. “Last time I saw you, it was at my wedding. Remember what I told you that day? Stay the hell away from my wife. Now I need you to stay the hell away from me.” I could see that he rememberered, and worse I could see the rage light in his eyes.

    LUCAI didn’t leave because I was running.I left because I needed control. If the cops were coming for me, then I’d walk into it on my terms. Not dragged out like some street rat, not hidden in a bathroom because my wife panicked.No. If they wanted a show, I’d give them one they’d never forget.The car ate up the road in silence, my hands steady on the wheel. If Marissa was coming here and Vector had found it, then I was certain a lot more people knew. There would be headlines, so I would give them headlines, because once they locked me up, and let me out, they couldn't drag me back to court for the same thing. That was the law. And if they thought a few hours in a cell would break me? They didn’t know who the hell I was.By the time I pulled into the driveway, the house was quiet. I slammed the door and went inside, pushing off my thoughts with every step. Blood was still caked under my fingers so I showered fast, the water pounding against my skin. When I came out, I dressed in

    ALINAThe door fell completely off the hinges. I stepped back as it slammed into the ground, the sound of the crash causing my ears to ring. A second later, Luca steppedthrough the ruins of the door. His eyes met mine, and I flinched. His shirt was tied around his hand, his hair dripping, and his eyes were dark steel, tight at the corner with anger that had its own gravity. His fingers were bloody, and his chest was sweaty, but he looked as sexy as a god. His arms flexed as he slowly untied the shirt and allowed it to fall on the floor. He stood just inside the bathroom, the shadow brushing his jaws harshly as he looked at me. “You locked me in the bathroom.” His voice was calm in that way that terrified me more than shouting ever could.I didn't know what his next move would be, what he would say or do, and it scared me to hell. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. He glanced back at the wrecked door, then returned his eyes to mine, one brow lifting. “Did you really think a

    ALINAI felt the ground tilting under me when the words left my mouth. Hide. That was all I wanted from him, just this once, to take the safest option instead of the proudest one.Luca’s eyes were dark and smoky, his jaw locked in that way that always told me I was about to lose the argument. “No, I'm not hiding.” The words were already carved in stone. I pushed forward, stepping into his body, standing so close that I could feel his breathe on my lips. “You have to, please, Luca, if they take you…” “They won’t keep me,” he snapped, the heat in his voice doubling against my fear. “They don’t have a body, no footage, nweapon, not a shred of evidence. Marissa’s wasting her time trying to pin this on me.”He tugged my fingers off his chest, and thought the action was gentler than his voice, it didn't stop the shake racing through me. “And when she's done making a fool of herself, I'll sue her. And the entire police department, and anyone who so much as breathes the wrong way.” “You

    LUCAWe'd been going around in circles for the last hour. Bella was sobbing in the corner, Valentina sitting on the couch trying to soothe her. Pietro had called every contact he had, nothing. I'd done the same, and now, all we had was waiting. None of us had the patience for that.“Why didn't you kill him when you had the chance?” Pietro snapped at me. He stalked from end of the room to the other, muttering the question over and over again. Because I'd wanted to torture the bastard to within an inch or his life. But Pietro was right, I should have put a bullet in his skull and saved us this trouble. “I'll find them. Stop that fucking pacing, it's dizzying.” I snapped back, glaring at the back of his head. The house was swimming around my head as I dialed Marco again. He didn't answer again.“Shit, Vector could kill her,” Pietro said. He stopped, his chest heaving with one stagnant inhale after the last. “Vector was working with Alberto.” I pointed at the couch, glowering at him.

    LUCA“Talciro has grown old, he doesn't know what the fuck he's saying.” Marco muttered, placing a bag of ice over his eyes. “I believe him, Marco. I don't think he got the shipment.”Talciro’s office was murky with the smell of cigarettes. He had stepped out to take a call. I leaned back in the chair, chancing a look at the lock to the secret room where the gold was stacked.He knew damned well I could get into the secret room, and he'd left us here in the room alone. He hadn't received the gold. Swinging my head back to Marco, I found him already watching me. “Did you speak directly to Talciro when you delivered the shipment?” “It was a phone call, but damn it, no one has that croaky voice he does. It was him.” Marco insisted. “I wouldn't make a mistake with a shipment this huge.” And I didn't believe he had, but the shipment had been picked up, and delivered, only probably to the wrong people.I stood and crossed the room to the door, then beckoned to Marco. “Let's go, I expect
