chapter 11

11The air in the safe house remained heavy long after Matteo De Luca had stormed out, his parting words lingering like a dark cloud over the room. Emilia stood still, her arms wrapped around herself as if trying to hold everything together. Luca, on the other hand, exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his hair before turning to face her."You okay?" he asked, his voice quieter now, less edged with the fury that had fueled him moments ago.Emilia nodded, though her shoulders sagged with exhaustion. "I just... I didn't expect him to react like that."Luca let out a bitter chuckle. "Really? The man’s been waiting for an excuse to put a bullet in my head since we first met. This was just another opportunity."She shot him a sharp look. "He’s my father. He’s just protective.""Protective or paranoid?" Luca challenged, crossing his arms. "You think he's really mad at me, or is he just scared that someone else is pulling the strings and he doesn’t know who?"Emilia opened her mouth, the

chapter 12

Chapter 12The room fell silent in the wake of Luca’s words. The tension was palpable, thick enough to choke on. Emilia’s heart pounded, but she pushed away the fear. If she let it take hold now, she wouldn’t survive what was coming next.Marco Rossi studied them both for a long moment before nodding approvingly. “Good. You’ll need to move quickly. The Vitales won’t waste time.”Luca crossed his arms, his sharp gaze never leaving Marco. “And what exactly do you suggest?”A slow smile touched Marco’s lips. “I have a plan. One that requires precision, coordination... and a willingness to get your hands dirty.”Luca snorted. “That won’t be a problem.”Marco’s smile widened slightly. “That’s what I was hoping to hear. But before we get into the details, I need to know something.” His eyes flicked to Emilia. “How far are you willing to go?”Emilia swallowed, her pulse thrumming in her ears. She knew what he was asking. Was she ready to cross the line? To abandon any chance at normalcy and

chapter 13

Chapter 13The night air was thick with tension as Luca, Emilia, and Marco retreated from the docks. The sound of gunfire had faded, but the weight of what they had done still clung to them. They had made their move, struck first. Now, the Vitales would retaliate.Luca kept his grip tight on the wheel as they sped through the empty streets, their two prisoners groaning in the backseat. Marco sat beside them, arms crossed, a pleased smirk tugging at his lips. Emilia sat shotgun, her body tense, her mind already working through the next steps.“We need a secure location to hold them,” she said finally. “Somewhere the Vitales won’t be able to track.”Luca’s jaw clenched. “I know a place. An old warehouse on the west side. It’s off the grid, no cameras, no traffic. We can keep them there until they talk.”Marco chuckled. “And if they don’t?”Luca glanced at him, his expression hard. “They will.”The drive was short, but the weight of the situation made every second stretch. The warehouse

chapter 14Marco exhaled sharply. “Well, shit.”Luca stood, pacing. “We need to move before they do.”Emilia crossed her arms. “And do what? Attack first? We barely made it out tonight. If Alessandro is coming, he’s not coming unprepared.”Marco rubbed his jaw. “Then we make him come to us. On our terms.”Luca’s pacing stopped. He turned to Marco, eyes narrowing. “You have a plan?”Marco grinned. “Oh, I always have a plan.”They spent the next few hours refining the details. The Vitales were expecting retaliation, but they wouldn’t expect them to set the trap first. The plan was risky, but it had to be. There was no playing it safe in this war.By the time dawn broke, the prisoners had been silenced one knocked unconscious, the other bound tighter. Luca and Emilia stepped outside for air, the early morning chill wrapping around them.“You think this will work?” Emilia asked, watching the sky shift from black to gray.Luca exhaled, his breath visible in the cold. “It has to.”She turne
