The lights went out, and someone screamed upstairs.

Dante grabbed my arm.

"Stay behind me."

A gunshot rang through the house.

I felt a shock.

Luca rushed towards the stairs.

Matteo followed him, pulling a gun from beneath his jacket.

"What the hell is happening?" I whispered.

Enzo was already reaching for his phone.

"They've cut the power."

"Can you turn it back on?"

"Do I look like an electrician?"

"Now isn't the time, Enzo!"

He glanced at me. "You're right. Sorry."

He tapped his screen, illu

    Isabella's POV]Nobody answered him.Dante raised his gun and positioned himself between me and the entrance. Luca moved towards the side window, while Matteo quietly pulled me away from the kitchen.Enzo slipped the flash drive into his pocket."How did he get here before us?" I whispered."He probably left the safe house before we did," Enzo replied. "He knew about the cabin and guessed we'd come looking."I stared at the documents scattered across the kitchen table.Roberto had known about the evidence all along. He had known Elena was connected to Victor's death, and he had known there was something hidden beneath the floor.How much of his story had been another lie?"Isabella," Roberto called again. "Please. You need to listen to me."I stepped towards the door but Dante caught my wrist."Don't.""I want to hear what he has to say.""He's already shown you what his words are worth.""Then let me decide that for myself."Dante's jaw tightened, but he released my hand.I moved tow

    Isabella's POV]"Roberto is missing."Dante's voice carried through the safe house as the brothers gathered around the dining table. Nobody looked particularly surprised, which somehow made me even more nervous.Luca slammed his palm against the table. "How does one man keep escaping from a house full of armed guards? Please somebody tell me how?""Perhaps because your guards are not as good as you think," Enzo replied without looking up from his laptop.Luca turned towards him. "Would you like to repeat that?""Not particularly.""Both of you, enough," Dante interrupted. "Enzo, find out where Roberto went. Luca, check the vehicles. Matteo, make sure we're ready to leave.""And me?" I asked.Dante looked at me. "You stay here.""No."He slowly raised his eyes towards mine. "Isabella, this isn't the time.""Roberto has escaped twice, someone is hunting me, and Elena might be our only chance of exposing Marco. I'm not sitting in a room while everyone else decides what happens to my life

Sorry."He tapped his screen, illuminating the room with a faint blue light, while Dante moved towards the doorway, listening carefully.Another shot sounded, this time from outside."Enzo, get her out through the rear exit," Dante ordered."I'm not leaving without knowing what's happening."Dante turned towards me. "This isn't a discussion.""Then stop treating me like a child!"His jaw tightened."Stay behind Enzo. If he tells you to run, you run. Understood?"I nodded reluctantly.Enzo led me through the corridor, using his p

    "Roberto moved her?"Enzo nodded.I stepped away from him, trying to understand what he'd just said. Roberto was locked in the basement, guarded by Luca, and had been under the Valenti brothers' watch since the previous day. How could he have moved anyone?"When?""That's what I'm trying to find out.""Then find out,”Enzo raised an eyebrow. "You know, most people at least pretend to be polite when asking me for help.""Most people aren't trying to find a woman who might be murdered because my father decided to hide her."His expression changed.For once, he didn't have a clever response."Fair enough,""Come with me."He led me down the hallway to his equipment room. I'd passed it several times but had never been inside. The room was smaller than I'd expected, with two desks, several monitors and cables running along the walls.Enzo pointed to a chair."Sit."I remained standing.“Sit Isabella,”“I'm doing just fine standing,”He turned back to his computer.On the largest screen was

    I couldn't take my eyes off the photograph.My mother stood outside our house with one hand resting on Sofia's shoulder.They appeared to be talking about something, completely unaware that someone had taken their picture.The image looked ordinary, but the message written on the back didn't.A father should protect his own."What does this mean?" I asked MarcoHe pulled out the empty chair beside me and sat down."It means someone has been watching your family.""Why,”"Because the person watching them sent it to me.""Who?""Roberto."The name came out of his mouth so casually that I almost missed it."You're lying.""Am I?""Roberto would never….."I stopped.The words sounded ridiculous even to me.Roberto had sold me to the Valenti brothers, admitted to giving Marco information that led to Victor Valenti's death. He had lied to my mother and sister for years.Why was I trying to defend him?Marco saw the realization on my face."Your father has always been a selfish man, Isabella

    The first thing I noticed about the Russo mansion was the gate.It was twice the size of the one at the Valenti estate. Two armed guards stood on both sides to keep watch. Beyond the gate, a long driveway curved through a garden filled with neatly trimmed hedges and expensive statues.Marco Russo wasn't a man who liked to hide his wealth.He wanted people to see it.Our car stopped several metres from the entrance."Remember what we discussed," Dante said, glancing at me through the rear-view mirror since he was in the driver's seat and I in the back seat."You don't wander off alone. You don't accept anything from anyone. And if I tell you to leave, you leave.""And if I don't want to?""Then I'll carry you out myself."I stared at him."Do you always threaten women before taking them to dinner?""Only the difficult ones."Matteo chuckled beside me. "He's been practising his manners. That's actually an improvement."Enzo leaned forward between the seats. "The guards have already rece
