Do you understand that?"Massimo didn't know what to say. Luckily, it didn't seem like Luca was waiting for a response."I've know
It took about an hour for Luca to arrive at the airport and reconvene with Massimo. The mafia don had gone back to the general entrance area—mostly so that Luca wouldn't need to purchase a ticket to meet up with him. Massimo didn't normally mind airport security protocols, but considering the troubl

Massimo moved to follow after Elena's retreating form, but he was immediately stopped by a security guard."Sir, you need to wait in line—""Not now," Massimo cut him off firmly. He tried to move around the guard, but the man just shifted his position, continuing to block Massimo's path."I need to
