CHAPTER 101 SALVATORE POV The private jet touched down in Milan , I imagined how this meeting was going to play out. Diego and Charlie came with me . Lena stayed on the island for safety, the decision we'd made together after the conversation on the cliffs. I'd promised her we'd face whatever came next as partners. I intended to keep that promise.Yet the moment we reached the council building something felt off. Security around the entrance was heavier than usual. Charlie noticed several unfamiliar faces among the guards. Someone had prepared for my arrival.The council chamber was a long room dominated by a polished table that had witnessed decades of quiet wars and shifting alliances. Powerful men sat around it, many of whom I'd known for years. Some refused to meet my eyes. Others stared openly. The atmosphere was hostile. No respect.Three longtime allies who'd stood with me through the conflict with Caruso sat together and looked different than the last time we met. Charlie sp

CHAPTER 103 SALVATORE POVLena still stood in the office when Charlie turned the screen toward us. The supposed communications between her and Caruso filled the display in clean, damning lines. I studied every timestamp and every phrase while she insisted she'd never sent them and Charlie insisted the material had been fabricated. Both of them were asking me to trust them.At this moment I didn't know who I could trust.I ordered everyone else out of the room. Lena wanted to stay. I told her gently that I needed space to think. She hesitated, seeing something fractured in my expression, then left with Diego. Once the door closed I turned to Charlie."Start from the beginning."He knew the request carried more weight than ordinary investigation. Charlie walked me through the communications again. The timestamps didn't match Lena's known movements. Some messages contained information she couldn't have accessed at the time they were supposedly sent. The pattern was too clean, too perfec

CHAPTER 105 SALVATORE POVThe moment I walked into the house, something was off. The guards wouldn't look at me straight. Staff kept their distance. Diego wasn't waiting like he should've been. The whole place had this tension that didn't belong to normal security shit. I didn't ask questions. I just went straight to Lena."Where is she?" I asked the first guard I found.He hesitated. That hesitation told me everything."With you, I think," he finally said.My stomach dropped.I moved through the hallway without stopping. The bedroom door opened and I just stood there. The room was empty. The bed on her side was made too carefully, like someone was trying to hide something. Her scent was still in the air, that perfume I love wearing. But nothing else. Some of her things were gone. The closet had gaps. The bathroom was empty. The balcony held nothing.I called her phone. No answer. Called again. Still nothing. I called out her name. The quiet answered back.The old fear came rushing

CHAPTER 107 SALVATORE POVI stood in the command room with Diego, Charlie, and a handful of trusted men while confirmation settled over all of us. Charlie said it straight Dante had Lena. Matteo was alive and safe with Diego's team. I focused on one question only."Is she alive?"Charlie confirmed it from the photograph. She was conscious. Unharmed. I studied the image carefully. Lena looked scared, but that set to her jaw was still defiant. That small thing tightened something in my chest. I remembered the letter she'd left, the way she'd asked me not to become someone she was afraid of. Then Dante's message appeared on the screen.“Come alone.”I felt my expression change. "He thinks he can use her to control me."Diego answered quietly. "He already is."Orders came out of my mouth fast. Find every property connected to Caruso. Question every informant. Track every vehicle. Search all known safehouses. Shut down every communication channel Dante still had. Charlie warned that we ne

CHAPTER 109 SALVATORE POVThree days since the false safehouse, and the island felt foreign now. Lena's bedroom was still empty. Her clothes are gone from the wardrobe. Her perfume had faded from the air. Her side of the bed stayed untouched. I hadn't slept properly since Charlie told me Dante had taken her. Most nights I sat in the command room studying maps and photographs until the lines blurred together. I read her letter over and over. Always stopped at the same place. “I need you to become the man I fell in love with.” I told myself I was searching for her. The truth was I was running from the guilt that came every time I closed my eyes. Diego tried to convince me to rest. I told him I couldn't sleep while she was out there enduring whatever Dante had planned.A political meeting with several Romano allies was scheduled for the afternoon. I didn't go. Instead I sent instructions through Diego, dismissed reports without reading them, refused calls from two influential families,
