CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
VINCENZO
His words struck a nerve. I managed to keep my exterior composed, but rage burned beneath the surface. So, he was the one responsible for the encounter at the shopping mall.
I knew something happened at the mall that day because Blanca said Anya acted strange, but I can't believe it was because she encountered De Lucchi's man.
Fury ignited within me. He dared to touch her, to threaten her. His life was forfeit. No one laid a finger on my Anya and lived to brag about it.
Without warning, I stood up, my gun in hand. His eyes widened in terror, but he was too slow. A single, well-aimed shot ended his life instantly. The other men jumped to their feet, panic in their eyes, and their henchmen instinctively reached for their weapons.
The red laser sight that settled on their bosses' heads silenced the room. "I warned you to drop your weapons," I said coldly, my voice carrying the weight of deadly resolve.

ANYAAlessia decided that we should go clubbing since she was bored, and well, I had no real reason to object. We ended up dressing in matching outfits – same hairstyle, same makeup, and nearly identical clothes.We both donned leather skirts, turtle neck shirts, leather jackets, and boots. The only difference between our outfits was the color – mine was black, and hers was a fiery red."You look like a badass bitch," Alessia quipped with a smirk as she checked me out.I burst into laughter. "Funny, I was just thinking the same about you. You totally rock that bad-ass vibe."She raised an eyebrow playfully. "Oh really?"I grinned. "Absolutely.""Alright then, let's go blow up that club with our killer looks." Alessia giggled and linked her arm with mine, leading me outside.We were just about to hop into Alessia's car when one of our guards stepped in our way, blocking our path."Um, excuse m

ANYAI stepped into the room with shaky feet, the atmosphere heavy with tension. The doctor was there, tending to Vincenzo. Nico, Carlo, and Blanca were standing around, partially blocking my view. My heart raced, fearing what I was about to see.As they noticed me, Matteo's voice cut through the air, drawing their attention. They parted slightly, creating a path for me to see. And then I saw him, lying there, his form obscured by bandages and blood.A gasp caught in my throat, and I crumbled to my knees. It couldn't be true. This couldn't be Vincenzo. Not the indomitable force of strength and charisma I knew. Not him, lying so still, surrounded by the sterile white of a hospital room.The tears I'd been holding back burst forth. I reached out, my fingers trembling, as if touching him could prove to me that this was just a nightmare. That this wasn't really happening.“Vincenzo,” I choked out, my voice quivering. &ldquo

VINCENZOThere was an overwhelming ache coursing through my body as I gradually regained consciousness. My head felt like it was being pounded by a sledgehammer, and the brightness of the surroundings made me squint.I had to blink a few times to adjust to the light. Glancing at my left hand, I noticed the IV tube connected to it. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to piece together why I was in so much pain.Then it all came back – the ambush, the exchange of gunfire, and my attempts to shield Nico. Damn it. I had warned him to stay put, but he had this stubborn streak, always trying to protect me in his own way.It was a trait he'd carried since childhood – whenever his efforts to safeguard me resulted in a mess, he'd blame himself for an eternity.But this wasn't his fault. I needed to make sure he knew that. I attempted to sit up, only to find a gentle grip on my other hand. Turning my head, I found her &nda

My schedule is packed, my responsibilities vast, but I can't let treachery go unchecked.The law's pursuit doesn't concern me much. After all, they won't unearth anything significant. My tracks are meticulously covered, my secrets well-guarded. I've always managed to keep my dealings discreet, but their recent interest has forced me into a more reactive stance.“He is inside.” Matteo said.“Be careful.” I told him.
