VALENTINA'S POV

Renzo left my room sometime before dawn, quiet enough that I wasn't sure if I had actually fallen asleep or just pretended to, so neither of us would have to say anything else that night.

By morning, the awkwardness sat between us like something physical. He brought me coffee without a word, his eyes careful, waiting for a cue I didn't know how to give him. I took the mug and said thank you, and that was the whole conversation, both of us retreating into politeness because neith

    DANIEL’S POVI knew the answer before she gave it. That was the thing about Valentina. She had never been able to lie to me with her face, only with her words, and right now her face was telling me everything.“It’s complicated,” she said.“That’s not an answer.”“I know. I’m sorry.” She tucked her hair behind her ear, a habit she had when she was nervous. “He and I have a history. It’s old. It’s over. But I can’t explain it on a bench by a river, with him standing right there.”I looked past her. Petrov still had his back to us, his phone at his ear, pretending to talk to someone. He was good at pretending. Not as good as me.I could have pushed. Some months ago, I would have. I would have asked until she gave me something, and then used it. But I had learned something in the last two months. The people who gave you the most were the ones you stopped asking.“Okay,” I said.She blinked. “Okay?”“You’ll tell me when you’re ready. I don’t need it today.”Her whole body let go. Her sho

    VALENTINA’S POVMy father let me go out on Saturday.I hadn’t expected him to. After the dinner, I had spent a whole night waiting for him to knock on my door and tell me Daniel was no longer welcome in the house. He never did. He ate his breakfast, read the newspaper, and when I told him Daniel had invited me to lunch, he put the paper down and looked at me for a long time.“Where?”“A café near the river. It’s public. It’s full of people.”“Renzo goes with you.”“Dad.”“Renzo goes, or you stay here.” He picked the paper up again. “He’ll keep his distance.”That was the best I was going to get, so I took it.Daniel was waiting outside the café when I arrived, leaning against a lamppost with his hands in his pockets, and he straightened the second he saw me. He had on a grey sweater and no jacket, and he looked younger in daylight. Less careful.“You came,” he said.“I said I would.”“I know. I just wasn’t sure your father would let you.”“He didn’t make it easy.” I looked back over m

    RENZO'S POVI watched the footage four times before Leo came in with the coffee.It was past midnight. The security room was dark except for the monitors, and every one of them showed the same hallway, the one that ran along the east side of the house. Daniel walked into the frame at 8:14. He didn't hurry. He passed the washroom door without turning his head, the way a man passes something he already knows is there."He didn't even look at it," Leo said, putting a cup next to my hand."No.""Maybe he didn't hear her right.""She said second door on the left. He walked past two."Leo didn't answer. He pulled a chair over and sat down beside me, and we watched it again.Daniel reached the end of the hall and stopped at the east stairs. He looked up first, then down. Then he put his hand flat on the wall beside the stair door, almost like he was feeling for something, and stood like that for a few seconds. After that he went down three steps and sat on the fourth, with his hands between

    VALENTINA'S POVDaniel arrived at 6:58 pm, two minutes early, and Renzo made him wait at the gate for four more.I watched from the window of the small sitting room. Renzo took the bottle out of Daniel's hands, turned it over, checked the seal, the label, the bottom. Then he handed it to Leo, who carried it away somewhere I couldn't see. Daniel stood there with his hands open and a polite smile, like a man who had expected exactly this."They're being thorough," my father said behind me. He had come in without a sound. "Good.""Dad, he's just a guest.""Nobody is just a guest in this house." He straightened his cuffs. "Come. I want him seated before the soup goes cold."I found Renzo in the hallway on my way to the dining room. He was alone, checking his phone, and he put it away the moment he saw me."The bottle was clean," he said. "I tested it myself. Nothing in it, nothing under the label.""Then you can relax a little.""That's not my job.""Renzo." I stopped in front of him. I h

    Daniel’s POVI called my father at nine that night, from the second phone, the one that stayed in the drawer unless I needed it.He answered before the first ring ended. That told me he had been waiting."Tell me about today.""Lunch went well." I walked to the window and stood to the side of the curtain, the way I always did. "I met the friend. Clara. She doesn't like me.""Does she matter?""She works with Valentina, and Valentina listens to her. I'd bet money she called Clara tonight and got told to be careful.""Then she's a problem.""A small one. She asked which firm I work for. I think she meant here in Russia"My father was quiet for a second. "And?""I told her it was a small one nobody knows. She let it go, but I know she'll look it up later.""Then there will be something to find." His voice was flat, the way it got when he was already moving to the next thing. "I'll have the website rebuilt tomorrow. Real names, real clients. Anyone who checks will see a boring little comp

  • The Mafia Heiress He Let Go    Chapter Seventy-Three

    VALENTINA'S POVRenzo drove me to lunch because my father said so, and I didn't have the energy to argue.We had barely spoken since the garden. He kept both hands on the wheel and his eyes on the road. I kept mine on my phone, reading Daniel's last message for the third time.‘Can't wait to meet her properly.’"I'll sit by the door," Renzo said when he parked."You don't have to come inside.""Your father wants me inside."I got out without answering. It was easier than saying what I really thought, which was that having him in the same room made everything harder.Clara was already at a table by the window. She jumped up and hugged me, then held me at arm's length. "You look good. Rested. It's weird.""Thanks, I think.""It's a compliment." Her eyes went over my shoulder. "And there's your shadow. He looks thrilled."I looked back. Renzo had taken a table near the door, his back resting on the wall, a menu open in front of him that he wasn't reading."Ignore him.""I'm trying. It's
