ELENA "Where to? Mrs Russo?" Mr Leo asked as we pulled away from the lane that led to father's mansion and I sighed, eyes reverting to the scenery outside the window.I would have decided to spend my time at the orphanage before I went to meet with Deluca because I needed something to ground me but right now, it would seem I didn't have such any more.My heart ached."Take me home" I whispered softly, my mind slipping as he sped up.I wished to be able to feel at peace and not alone, but it was not possible. After the death of my husband, I could somehow feel myself drifting away. Drifting to a place where only I fought the battle for everyone.I briefly thought of the man whom my husband had once trusted with his life, Dante Morreti had made it his life ambition to make certain that I experienced the danger my late husband had been shielding me from all these years.I mean, look where I am now. Look who I am right now. I was different compared to the young woman who had felt so much

ELENA I stood up with Deluca at the sound of gunshots, my brows furrowing with confusion and a question burned on the tips of my lips.But just then, a guy rushed into the office with a frantic look on his face."Don, Dante Morreti is wrecking havoc in the casino" he rushed out and I was on my way out already as soon as I heard the name, my hand closing in on the gun inside my purse but then someone grabbed me and pulled me back into the office."Are you crazy? Sit here while we sort this out. He's goading you" Deluca chided and I glared at him before I reluctantly went to sit by the table, my feet tapping impatiently as they both left.Leaving me with the guy who had given the information, he turned to me and gave me a chilling grin that had my hackles raising and the moment his right hand reached for his waist, I pulled out my gun and shot him in the leg and he groaned as he fell to the ground.I released another bullet and it caught him in the hand he was using to reach for the gu

DELUCA This was not good at all. In fact, it was very bad—for both Elena and me. Definitely not in our best interests.Dante Morreti held a contract between himself and Lorenzo, Elena’s late bastard of a husband.According to this contract, upon Lorenzo’s death, this fool would own his half of the casino.That dead bastard never thought of his wife. What the hell was he thinking when he made this contract?Sure, it might have been forged—but it was flawless. And worse, everyone believed him.I needed to investigate this more. But if this fool tried anything with me, I’d kill him.I walked out of my office with Lucas, stepping into the hallway and then into the casino. There sat Dante Morreti, surrounded by a few low-level gang members, all engrossed in a poker game.The entire place went quiet—except for their table. Such blatant disrespect and disregard for authority.I gave Lucas a look, and he sent a bullet flying into the foot of the guy closest to Dante.The guy screamed in pain

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

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
