Dante's grip on the phone tightened. He remembered now, the rumors that had circulated through Roman circles when the news broke. An industrial accident, the official story said. But he'd heard enough whispers to know it wasn't true. He'd even had his own suspicions about who was responsible, though he'd never had proof. He'd been scheduled to visit that facility himself, once, on a matter of business with one of the previous directors, a meeting that got cancelled two weeks before the fire.

  • UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD   Chapter 444: He Gave Me The Rome Facility

    "How do you know?""Because I've seen his name on a transfer I was told to ignore."Another silence. Then, very quietly, "Good."Dante opened his eyes. The sea was dark below the terrace, the horizon a thin line of lighter dark. "That's the test?""That's the test." There was no warmth in Dimitri's voice, but it wasn't hostile either. "You answered both truthfully.""You already knew them.""Yes.""Then why ask?""So I could see whether you'd lie." A pause. "You didn't. Now give me something I don't know."Dante let out a slow breath. He had planned this part. He had gone over it for two days, sitting in the dark beside Isabella's bed, deciding how much to give and how little to keep."Brooklyn," he said."What about it?""When I took your territory there, I thought I was winning. The Covenant told me to hold it. They said they had a purpose for those corners, and I didn't ask what it was." Dante's voice was steady. "I never saw any of the money.""Explain.""Every dealer I turned, ev

  • UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD   Chapter 443: Then We Can Talk About What You Owe Me

    POV: DANTELuca found the seam at two in the afternoon.He came out onto the terrace with a laptop under one arm and the look of a man who had been waiting all day to say something. Dante was sitting in the shade with a cup of coffee he hadn't touched. Through the glass door behind him, he could see the bedroom, the bed, the shape of Isabella asleep under the blanket. Her breathing was slow. The doctor had called twice that morning and said the same thing both times: holding."I've got something," Luca said."Sit."Luca sat and opened the laptop on the table. "The trail I've been following. The Malta import firm, the Naples supplier, the courier. I thought it was a dead end, but I kept going." He turned the screen toward Dante. "Look at the closing date."Dante looked. It was a corporate filing, a page of numbers and stamps. "What am I looking at?""The Malta company dissolved on the nineteenth of August. The registry in Naples says the nineteenth. But the freight authority has it clo

    "No.""Are you going to tell him?""Not yet."Eve was quiet for a long moment. When she spoke, her voice was very soft."Why did he do it?""I don't know. I'm going to ask him.""When?""When she's stable. Not before." He rubbed his face with one hand. "If I go to him now, he'll tell me whatever he needs me to hear. I want to go in with the facts."Eve nodded slowly. She looked at his hand where it rested on the railing, at the white edges of his knuckles. He was holding on very tightly."Does anyone else know?" she asked. "That it's him?""Marco. Armani. Now you.""And Mike?""Mike knows I'm helping Dante. He built a false trail for me this morning, so that Dante's man would stop looking." Dimitri's mouth twisted. "He asked if you knew. I told him I'd tell you tonight.""So Mike knew before I did.""Yes.""Everyone knew before I did.""Eve....""I'm not angry about the secret," Eve said. She turned to face him fully. "I understand why you didn't tell me at dawn. I understand that you

    "Yes, Signore."He set the phone down and stood for a long time with his hand on the receiver.Someone had got to Armani. Not Dante, because Dante would have gone for the doctor himself, and Dante did not know where the doctor was. Someone quieter. Someone who had known where to look and what to take and how to leave very little behind.It was a short list. He did not care for the name at the top of it....The aide came back at nine that night.Antonio was at his desk with the lamp finally lit. He had not eaten."It's done," the aide said. "The courier is closed. Every registration was withdrawn by six. Armani's file has been removed from three registries, and the fourth is in progress. The Naples depot has been emptied. The stock is in the cold room at Frascati.""Good.""The safe log, Signore." He laid a second sheet on the desk. "There have been no unusual openings in the past year. The only entry outside the first of the month is this morning's. The code used was Armani's own.""

    "It will take a few hours.""You have a few hours." Antonio rose and went to the window. The olive grove stood very still in the late sun. "And the depot in Naples. Move what is in it. Not far. Somewhere we can reach.""Understood.""One more thing. I want to know who Luca has been speaking to. Everyone. Phones, meetings, favors he's called in.""That will be difficult.""I did not say it would be easy." Antonio turned from the window. "I said I wanted to know."The aide bowed his head slightly. "I'll begin now.""Go."When the door had closed, Antonio stayed standing at the window. His hands were clasped behind his back. His breathing was even.He allowed himself exactly one moment to think about the girl.She had been sixteen when it began. Pale and anxious, with a mother who watched her too closely and a father who had gone looking for help. Antonio had seen the opening and taken it. It had seemed, at the time, like a small and necessary thing, a thread to hold. He had never intend

    "Then who?""I don't know. Not yet. But I'm going to find out."She was quiet for a time. Her breathing slowed."You're still not telling me everything," she said."No.""Why?""Because you can't stand up yet, and I'd rather you were standing when I do." He pulled back far enough to look at her. "I will tell you. I won't keep it from you for long. I swear that."She searched his face. It was a tired face, an honest one. He hadn't tried to soften what he'd said or dress it up as anything else."Is it dangerous?" she asked. "What you're not telling me?""Not for you.""For you?"He didn't answer."That's what I thought," she said softly.She lay back against the pillow. The window had gone from gray to pale gold. Somewhere outside, a bird started up, thin and clear."The medicine you gave me," she said. "Will I need it again?""Yes. For a while. A doctor will bring you down slowly. Weeks, maybe. Until it's out of you.""And then?""And then you're free of it."She nodded slowly. She was
