DANTEI knew something was wrong the moment we pulled into the hospital parking lot.There were too many cars for this time of day. There were black SUVs parked in spots that should have been empty. Some men in suits were standing around trying to look casual but they were failing."Marcus, do you see this?" I asked as we got out of my car."Yeah. They’re most definitely Elena's people.""How many do you think?"Marcus looked around the parking lot. "There are at least a dozen out here, and probably more inside."We walked toward the main entrance, and I could see more of Elena's men standing near the doors. They weren't trying to hide anymore."Dante," Marcus said quietly. "We need more men.""There’s no time. Flora's up there."As we approached the entrance doors, two men in suits stepped forward to block our path."The hospital's been closed for maintenance," one of them said."Since when?" I asked."Since today. You'll have to come back tomorrow,” he replied.I looked at Marcus. H

DANTEI didn’t wait for Harrison’s questions. I just turned and ran.Three minutes. That’s how long we had before everything on this floor went up in flames.I grabbed wire cutters and bolt cutters from the maintenance cart just outside Flora’s room. My hands shook as I rushed back in. She was still on the bed with her wrists strapped down. Her face was pale but she looked alert.“I’m getting you out of here,” I said, already working on the restraints.When her eyes met mine, I could see that they were filled with fear. “Dante, wait. It’s not just me. Elena’s men are holding other pregnant women in some rooms down the hallway. I heard them crying and begging.”I paused just for a second. Then I kept cutting.“How many rooms?” I asked.“I don’t know. But there must be at least two,” she replied.The strap snapped off her right wrist, and I moved to the left. My heart was pounding so loud now.“We can’t leave them, Dante,” she said. “We have to try.”“I know.”Two minutes left.I got th

DANTE“Giovanni,” I said again, slower this time like I was trying to believe it myself.The word tasted almost bitter on my tongue as I said it. My stomach was twisted in knots already. I couldn’t stop staring at Agent Harrison, hoping he’d say he got it all wrong, that maybe it was someone else and this was all just some mistake.But he didn’t say anything else. He just kept looking at me like he knew what this meant.Giovanni Romano. My uncle. The man who had raised me for part of my early life. The one person in this world I thought I could always trust no matter what happened.And now I knew he’d been the one feeding Elena Vasquez with info. Everything she knew about us, she got from him.My hands started to shake. I clenched them into fists, trying to calm myself down, but it didn’t seem to be working. I could feel my blood already boiling in my veins.“He raised me,” I said under my breath. “He was the one who taught me almost everything I know. He taught me how to fight, how t

FLORAI kept staring at the screen like the footage was going to change if I looked at it long enough.Giovanni had been at the door to my mother’s apartment.But why?“Play it again,” I said sharply.Agent Harrison did as I asked immediately. The screen moved again. Giovanni knocked on the door twice, then stepped back, and waited. He didn’t do anything else for a while until he glanced over his shoulder, looking around suspiciously like he was being followed. And that was it. The camera didn’t catch any of what happened after that.I turned to Marcus immediately. “Find out what that was. I want to know why he was there.”“I’m on it,” Marcus replied without wasting even a second. Then he grabbed his laptop and left the room.Dante’s eyes were fixed on me, but I couldn’t read the expression on his face. His lips were drawn into a thin line, and his hands were clenched into fists, but his eyes... they held too many emotions.“You think he threatened her?” I asked, barely able to get t

Chapter 129DANTEThe red dot was still hovering over my chest.I didn’t move. I didn’t breathe either. I didn’t even know what would come next.Suddenly, the shot went off just as Marcus slammed into me from the side. We hit the pavement hard. My back scraped against the broken concrete and I was pretty sure I’d bruise badly, but I didn’t feel it. I was too busy trying to breathe again.Marcus groaned beside me. He had his hand pressed to his side too.I saw the blood before he said a word.“Shit,” I muttered, quickly crawling over to him. “You’ve been hit.”“No kidding,” he grunted. His teeth were clenched in pain. “The bullet hit me in my right side. I hope it missed anything vital.”The sniper didn’t fire again. Either they were moving or they only had that one shot. Either way, I wasn’t going to stick around to find out.“Can you walk?”“Do I have a choice?” he asked. He was already trying to get up.I swung his arm over my shoulder and helped him up before we began to stumble to
