Massimo clicked on the email. There was only one person who would bother to send him a message but wasn't in his list of contacts—Tyler. The fact the email name mentioned a cobra—the symbol of the Morello family—just confirmed Massimo's suspicions.Weirdly, there wasn't a single word in the email. T
