DELUCA

"Looks like your focus has changed. Or maybe… your interests have.”

The voice sliced through me like a knife, sharp and deliberate. My grip tightened around the stem of my glass as I turned toward the sound.

Camila stood at the edge of the table, her dark brown eyes gleaming beneath the soft glow of the overhead lights. Her long, chestnut hair cascaded down her back in loose waves, framing her sculpted cheekbones and full lips, which curved into a knowing smile. A figure-hugging black dress clung to her body, the plunging neckline and high slit leaving little to the imagination. Gold hoop earrings caught the light as she tilted her head, her gaze fixed on me with unsettling familiarity.

She took a step closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. Then she slid into the seat beside Lucas, her manicured hand brushing over his arm as she leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to his cheek.

“Which is it?” she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as they cut toward me.

  • The Mafia Widow's Revenge    Chapter Hundred and Twenty-two

    DELUCA Whatever I’d once felt for Elena had grown into something dangerous—raw, unfiltered, and completely out of my control. She was like a flame I couldn’t resist touching, even if it meant getting burned. Every damn day, she found a new way to amaze me. I just wished I had met her before that bastard Lorenzo did.For her... I'd walk through fire. And as the saying goes, the patient dog eats the fattest bone.“Don.”A loud snap of fingers jerked me from my thoughts. Lucas was sitting in front of my desk, smirking like the little shit he was.I slapped his hand away from my face, hard.“Fuck!” he shouted, clutching it.“Why the hell are you taking your frustration out on me?” he asked, rubbing the spot dramatically.“Bastard, why are your legs crossed on my desk?” I growled.“Been here a while,” he said casually. “Thought we were playing the silent game.”I narrowed my eyes. “How long have you been sitting there?”God, please tell me I didn’t say anything out loud.“Long enough,” h

    ELENA I followed alongside their car down to an abandoned powerhouse. Inside, I was led to a room where a girl—or woman, rather—was tied to a chair."She the one?" I asked as soon as we walked in.They nodded."She is. We caught her trying to light the ship on fire," the guy standing behind her said, his gun aimed at her head. The woman struggled against the gag in her mouth. Something felt off—but I couldn't quite place it yet."What is it?" Deluca asked, stepping beside me."Something’s not right," I whispered, taking a cautious step closer."You sure?" he asked.I nodded."Take off the gag," I ordered.The man’s eyes widened slightly as he hesitated, then took slow steps toward the girl. And that's when it clicked."Stop!" I shouted.I drew my gun and fired, hitting his hand—the one holding the weapon. He screamed in pain, and I rushed forward, kicking the gun away from his grasp."Elena, what the hell?!" Lucas demanded from behind me."He was the one going to burn the ship. He kn

    DELUCA "I heard there was a change in authority here," came a voice from behind me, and I fought off an annoyed growl as Detective Lawson stepped in front of me with a grin."News travels fast," I said calmly, taking a sip of my drink."It does—especially when it involves shady dealings like yours," he goaded, but I merely shrugged."I’ve told you to stop dreaming, Detective.""What man doesn’t dream?" he replied as he made to take a seat—but a voice stopped him in his tracks."Men like you, for instance," Elena Russo said, stepping past him and claiming the seat he was aiming for. He didn’t recognize her through her disguise and gave her an appraising look."A new whore?" he asked, turning toward her, but she made herself comfortable, crossing her legs elegantly."Look around you. Don’t mess around in a place where you’re not wanted," she said with a shrug. He did look around—and clearly didn’t like what he saw. We’d been here before, and still, this guy couldn’t take a hint. How th

    ELENA "The kids miss you."I startled at the sound and turned sharply to find Francesca walking up to me. I had been standing at a distance, once again staring at the orphanage. I never thought anyone would recognize me in my all-black disguise."You should consider being an assassin," I said, taking a seat on the hood of my car. He came to sit beside me."Nah, I’m not cut out for that," he replied with a soft laugh, and I smiled."How did you find me?" I asked, and he smirked."I saw you last time—twice. I just decided to go for it," he replied."So you had no clue it was me. Suppose it was an assassin scouting out the orphanage?" I asked, raising a brow."Not sure. Didn’t think that far ahead. Why don’t you come again?" he asked, and I sighed. I didn’t want to get into this topic, but it seemed I wasn’t escaping it any time soon."It’s not rocket science why I stay away," I replied.He shook his head slowly, that look of quiet disapproval I didn’t need."I know how much you adore t

    DELUCA The next few days passed by uneventfully, but today, I finally decided to check up on Colton and see what he’d been up to all this while.I left the car behind—Lucas had insisted I go alone after the stunt he pulled with Colton last time. But I knew for a fact that he didn’t like the kid.Colton was a major pain in the ass, so I understood why everyone found him difficult.When I got to the condo where he lived, I paused to ring the dingy doorbell.“Who are you—Brother?” he asked, clearly surprised as he tore the door open to see me there. Not a smart move. What if I had been an assassin or someone sent to kill him?“Hey, Colton,” I said as I pushed past him into the house. I’d come in disguise so no one would know we had any connection. The more hidden his identity as my sibling, the safer he was.“You didn’t tell me you were coming—”“Of course. What the fuck is he doing here, Colton?” I snapped as my eyes landed on the one person I least expected to find in his home—calmly

    ELENA The back of my hand burned with pain, but I felt it only as a dull throb."This will hurt," the doctor beside me said.I shot him a withering look."Get it over with," I muttered, and he did—soon tying up the hand."Don’t take out your frustration on the poor guy. Look at how scared you made him," Lucas muttered beside me.I gave him a look."What are we doing about this?" Deluca asked, and I turned to him in surprise.He was asking me? That was... nice."There’s nothing to do. Unless the contract is fake—and flawlessly fabricated, I might add," I said.Lucas chuckled, and Deluca shot him a glare."Then there’s really nothing we can do," I finished with a sigh."We could investigate. And we’ll all think on this before any decisions are made," Deluca said, also sighing.He looked exhausted—but don’t we all?"I’ll be leaving now. Need to clear my head," I said, rising to my feet.I gave them one last look before leaving the office.I passed by the casino and stopped in front of t
