"Brian asked me, an handsome looking guy was standing beside him looking at me also with surprise written all over his face. "I'm fine, why'd you ask, "I said smiling. He wiped a tear off my face, I didn't know I was even crying, that must be why they we're looking at me that way. I quickly cleaned my cheeks. "Then why are you crying? " "I'm not crying, "I know that was the lamest thing I could come up with but I had nothing else to say. I heard the other handsome guy scoff and mumble lame, I smiled at him and said hi.

Bruno's voice cut through the chaos, demanding my attention. “Now, what do you say about my offer? Will you be happy to work for me while I make all your enemies disappear just like this?” He asked again. My mind was in turmoil as I weighed my options. I wanted to escape from this place and see Deangelo again, but at what cost? The memory of the gunshot and the blood on my face was still fresh in my mind.

He answers on the second ring. “I need you to find Adrian. I don’t care how long it takes. Find him.” There’s a brief silence. “Already on it,” Lukas says. “I’ll get the others involved.” “Good.” I pace across the room, running a hand through my hair. “And the Italians?” “They still haven’t agreed to join us.”

“You’re forgetting that… but we’re supposed to be a STEPBROTHER and a STEPSISTER!!!” She stared at him, broken and burning and hollow all at once. “Just let me go…” she whispered, voice cracking like glass. “You’ve won already, breaking me to this point. What else do you want? To ruin the little remaining dignity I have?” Luciano didn’t move. Not a twitch. But his fists clenched so tightly at his sides, his knuckles turned bone white. His unreadable eyes now shimmered with something darker. Something dangerously close to devastation.
