Does Leo Valdez Die Novels & Stories

"What the hell? She’s like skin and bones." I continued reading. Then stopped. Read the line again. And again. Because surely I had misunderstood. **Mother: Arista Viella Rossi. Deceased. Cause of death: Drug overdose. Age at death: Thirty-two.** I felt something cold settle in my stomach. Thirty-two. Jesus. Thirty-two wasn't much older than Mason or I was now. I kept reading. My throat tightening with every line. *Valentina Rossi, age eleven, discovered the body in their trailer.*

Time passed, and Nathan received a message from my phone. During the accident, my phone flew out of my hand, and the screen broke. I figured the police had gotten someone to fix my phone and contact my family right away. [Is this Moon Clinton’s brother? I’m very sorry to inform you that Moon died in a car accident. Please come to the police station to identify the body.] Nathan slowly opened his eyes. He became visibly disgusted just from looking at the message. He seemed upset as he replied. [Moon, I don’t have time for your games. If you can come home, do it. Don’t expect me to pick you up!]

Alessandro: “It is unfortunate, but the fire has cost more than one life. Among them was the famous veterinarian, Dr. Valerie Morozov.” We heard the news as Valerie sat on the chair in front of the dining table. “I can’t believe that you managed to fake your own death by burning a body.” Leonardo said as I approached Valerie with a packet of ice. She looked at me and nodded in thanks before putting the packet in her hand. “We still need to get that shoulder of yours checked.” I said, and she looked at it for a second before nodding.

Joyce was the first to notice Leo convulsing and ran towards him and the rest followed. "Did Valerie remove the pendant?" Mason asked as they searched around for the pendant. Valerie came back with herbs and acted like she didn't know what had happened. "Where is the pendant?" she cried as they all split up searching for it. Leo continued to convulse and he suddenly stopped moving. "Guys...!!!!" Valerie drew their attention to it and Carl was the one to check his pulse. "No pulse!" Carl screamed.... Valerie cried with reckless abandon as her mate lay there lifeless and was begging Carl to bring him back.

Whatever she was putting together would be the killing blow, the final shove the world needed to turn its back on us for good and brand us as total outcasts. I was parked on the couch, eyes glued to the nonstop stream of awful headlines on the TV, running through all the different ways Viola could wreck our lives, when Leo came through the door. He looked worn out. I clicked the TV off and walked over to him. “How’d things go with Valerian?” Leo dragged a hand over his face, clearly annoyed. “Those jerks are gonna be tougher to handle than I expected. They’ve got cash stashed everywhere in all kinds of accounts. One person can’t shut it all down.”

“Safehouse outside Florence. Valerio’s men found him in the olive grove after the wedding. Beaten. Tied. But breathing. He is recovering. No permanent damage.” Tears burned behind my eyes. I blinked them back. “Thank you.” “I did not do it for you.” She met my gaze. Steady. “I did it for him. He does not deserve to die because of your choices.” I nodded. Swallowed. “And Lucas?” “Dead.” The word came out flat. Final. “Valerio handled it personally. Last night. Quiet. No witnesses. No body left to find.” I waited for grief. Guilt. Relief. Nothing came. Just a hollow space where something used to be.

"This is more important. See and hear for yourself, then report back." "Then, Valentine. At least don't attend the funeral." Leo advised with a worried face. "Leave immediately." Valentine gave the short command and disappeared back into the conference room without waiting for a response. Leo rubbed the back of his neck as he turned around. It seems many Americans dream of retiring to warm Miami, but in truth, Leo despised hot weather. But what could he do? When told to go, he had to go.

Heading to my house, I unlock the door and step instead. “ Took you long enough. ” Leo pops out of the kitchen, his mouth stuffed with popcorns, suggesting that he is about to watch movies in my house again. I move past him without replying and drop the coat on the couch, before plopping down on it. ‘ Monsters deserve no compassion…or loyalty.’ Her words have really impacted me. “ What happened with Valentina? ” Leo comes and sits down beside me, before stuffing a handful of popcorns in his mouth.

Then I looked down. Leo was still in my arms. Still alive. Still here. I shifted him carefully, checking his face, his breathing, the way his little hand was still weakly curled into my shirt. His eyes were closed at first, then fluttered, and the sight of that nearly broke something in me. I swallowed hard and held him tighter for just a second longer than I needed to. Behind us, the facility made one final terrible sound. Not a warning this time. A full collapse. The whole Vale Biotech structure seemed to fold in on itself with a roar that shook the ground under me. I turned my head away and pulled Leo against my chest as the force of it sent dust and smoke surging over us in a rolling clo

, with that the man walked out. Christian's breath caught in his throat as he stumbled on nothing. The noise around him dulled as he focused on himself and his tethering sanity. From his younger years he had always heard about the mad man of Valencia, stories that gave children nightmares and kept adults up at night. Nobody wanted to be on that man's hit list. If Alan Poza was after him, Vendetta is after him and he must make a decision before they hit. If only he had given her to Stephan when he asked.
