Vito POV

Day Fifteen.

Tony set the seventh report on my desk at nine in the morning. I didn't touch it.

I already knew what it contained — the same careful language wrapped around the same essential truth. Nothing. No confirmed sightings, no financial activity linked to any identity we could trace, no footprint in any of the networks I'd spent fifteen years building.

I didn't touch it.I already knew what it contained — the same careful language wrapped around the same essential truth. Nothing. No confirmed sightings, no financial activity linked to any identity we could trace, no footprint in any of the networks I'd spent fifteen years building. She was gone the way people go when they are very smart and very determined and have been paying close attention to the shape of the cage around them.I had let her leave. That was the part that sat in my chest like a stone I couldn't move.She was always smarter than you gave her credit for, I thought. That was your mistake.I left the report on the desk and walked to the window.The commotion reached me before Maria herself did.It was mid-morning.

    Vito POV"Boss.""Tell me.""Isabella." He stopped. Cleared his throat. "She's gone."The room went very still."Gone?""The overnight man reported in at six. Routine. Everything was fine." Tony's jaw was tight. "We pulled the footage from the building's external cameras at seven. She left through a side exit at eleven-forty-three last night. There was a car waiting two blocks north. She got in." He paused. "We haven't been able to trace the vehicle."My hand closed around the glass on the desk.The crack was sharp and sudden. Tony took a step back. "Get me a towel," I said.Tony handed me one from the side cabinet without a word. I wrapped it around my hand, applied pressure, and kept my voice level."No one speaks about this outside this room. Not to the staff. Not to the other families." I looked at him directly. "Not to my father.""Your father is going to find out. When he does—""When he does, I will handle it. Until then, nothing."Tony nodded, once, and I could see him doing t

    Sophia POVI have something to protect now.It changed the calculations entirely.I sat at the small kitchen table the morning after my clinic appointment with a cup of tea I'd substituted for coffee.The two men in the lobby. They rotated on a schedule I'd been observing without meaning to, the way you passively absorb patterns when you have nothing else to do. One shift change at seven in the morning. Another at seven in the evening. The overnight man was quieter than the day ones, stationed near the building entrance, and he was very good at being invisible—which meant he'd grown comfortable, which meant he'd stopped looking for things he didn't expect to see.That's something, I thought.Tony had sent them to watch me. Or protect me. The distinction had stopped mattering—either way, they reported back. Either way, Vito knew when I left the building, where I went, when I returned. The illusion of freedom in Paris was still an illusion, just with better architecture.I couldn't affo

    Sophia POVParis. Day three.I noticed it first with the coffee.The apartment had one of those single-serve machines, sleek and European, and I'd turned it on out of habit—the same way I'd been doing everything these past three days, on autopilot, going through the motions of being a person. The pod clicked into place. The machine hissed. And then the smell hit me like a wall.I made it to the bathroom with approximately two seconds to spare.Afterward, I sat on the cold tile floor and told myself it was stress. Grief did strange things to the body. I'd seen it in patients during my hospital rotations—cortisol disrupting digestion, anxiety manifesting as nausea, the physical self staging its own protest against what the mind was refusing to fully process. Perfectly explainable. Completely normal.I'd been telling myself this for three days.But I was sitting on a bathroom floor in Paris at seven in the morning, and I was a doctor, and doctors are supposed to be honest with the eviden

    Vito POVThe Romano estate. The same evening.Her scent was still in the room.I don't know how that was possible—she'd been gone for several days, the study had been aired out, Mrs. Harrison had done whatever Mrs. Harrison always did with lemon polish and fresh linens—and yet. There it was. That faint trace of jasmine, barely a suggestion, clinging to the chair by the window where she used to sit when she thought I wasn't paying attention.I was always paying attention.The security feed on my desk showed the Paris apartment in crisp black and white. Third floor, northwest corner. She was curled on the sofa, knees drawn up, face turned away from the camera. She'd been in that position for forty minutes. Not sleeping—the subtle tension in her shoulders gave it away. Just lying there, very still, the way people go still when they're trying to hold something together from the inside.I made myself watch.This is what you chose, I told myself. Look at it."Boss." Tony's voice came from t
