The Devil’s Game
"Some street bastard named Matteo killed your father."
The words hit Aiden like a punch to the gut. All the heat from the kiss vanished instantly, replaced by cold shock.
"What?" Aiden whispered.
"Your father broke off a deal with them," Vito continued, his tone casual. "Cheated them out of money and goods. So they took payment another way."
Aiden felt like the room was spinning, his hands clenched into fists. Matteo. That was the name. That was who killed his father.
Vito set his glass down and looked at Aiden. His eyes were sharp and calculating, trying to figure out how much he could handle.
