GIO’S POVI hoped for me and Rose’s sake that my face was schooled to a neutral expression, my heart on the other hand was going to burst out of my chest any minute. How did she know about Zaverio? I thought we were careful, but I didn’t speak; only to force her hand, she would show me how I fucked up.Emily walked to the table I was now noticing and picked up a file, she held it towards me, and I took shaky steps, trying my best to ignore the guns pointed in my direction.“I don’t know when it started, and I don’t have any concrete images with the two of you together but I have several with you and the woman that walked out of the plane with Ava Boltran, and a quick call to Norma cemented my suspicions.”I looked over the pictures, they were taken when we were in Seville, settled in Alma’s home, a few were taken when I was talking to Von but he was always expertly hidden out of sight as if he knew someone was taking photos.Zaverio made no show in any of the pictures, and there was n
