Chapter 61: Midnight

LUCIAAs much as I wanted to stay right in this position for as long as I could, even going against the thoughts in my head that screamed this was so wrong, there was something I had to discuss with Alejandro. This marriage thing with Carlos. I just couldn’t understand why Alejandro was taking this so seriously and I also couldn’t sit down and not do anything. I wanted to help Carlos out as much as I could. It was Carlos' life and he had every right to dictate what he wanted, when he wanted it and even Alejandro as his father shouldn’t have the right to go against that. We needed to have a real talk about this, so ignoring my heart that so desperately wanted to lean into his touch further, I slowly pulled away from him. “Alejandro…we need to talk” I uttered, slipping further away from him. I raised my head to look at him before releasing a faint smile. “We need to talk, Alejandro. This is important” I repeated again, then moved to walk to the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed, w

DANTEPRESENT DAYI was sitting in my office, going through numerous paperworks when Massimo barged in with a horrid look on his face.My head snapped towards his direction and a frown formed on my face.“Massimo? What is it?” I asked calmly.He began to walk closer to the table and that was when I noticed the envelope in one of his hands and a ziplock in the other hand.“Don Vescari, there seems to be a big problem” he said immediately and dropped the contents right in front of me. Pushing the paperwork to the side I picked up the envelope and took a look at it. Inside were pictures. Pictures of a dead body lying in the woods.I looked at Massimo then back at the pictures, flipping through them one by one.Even with his face unrecognizable, I knew exactly who that was. It was Don Richie Caruso, the man I killed two days ago.Flipping through more of the pictures, my eyes landed on one that made me pause.
