Mag-log inElena nodded. "Today's gonna be great, too!"Cameron chatted with Noah on potential outing spots to show Elena. On the outside, Elena nodded along with great interest. On the inside though, she was nervous.She's never spent time alone with Noah before! She trusts him because Sloane trusts him—and a
Elena opened the door to a see a man she didn't recognize. He was dressed in light but stylish, colorful button-up and perfectly beige pants. It reminded Elena of the types of outfits she saw on display when Massimo took her on shopping trips to high-end stores."Hello," she said, "how can I help yo
Elena did, in fact, like Sloane's home. It wasn't quite as big as the Ferraro estate but it was much bigger than her childhood home. It looked like a beach house out of a some teen movie with its light blue body and golden rooftop and window trims.The inside was just as spacious as Elena expected i

"Wait, no," Elena immediately protested. "You already brought a case against Massimo, and he was found innocent. And I thought you promised that you were done with attacking him—""Elena, please," Joshua interjected softly. "This isn't the state of New York or the local cops going after him. This is
Massimo knew the server who had almost shot him must work for one of the Massachusetts dons. He probably snuck into the party and then changed clothes to match with the other servers. The Grasso's servants were dressed in dark green tuxedos—while the Grasso's didn't hide where they had their servant
