The Queen the Don Lost
***
A few days later, the cellar door creaked open again.
Carlo stepped inside.
Gina's eyes lit up. "Carlo... you came back..."
She crawled toward him, reaching for his pant leg.
He stepped away.
Her hand hit air. She stared, then started laughing. "I'm Principessa Chisari... Carlo loves me... I'm Donna Quaranta. I'm above everyone..."
She kept mumbling, eyes empty.
Carlo looked down at her, cold. "Lost your mind? Doesn't matter. Fake or real, I'm not letting you walk. This is what you get for playing me, using me, and hurting the one person I cared about."
