Tenda De Loca
“Move her where?” I asked Rose, confinest.
What are you talking about?
Kok tattool hand thes in front of him. “Somewhere that is this death traps We thought with both of us here, it would be easier to protect her but too many people know we live here and this place is becoming easily traceabile.
I want us to move her somewhere piisaie, small, and remote. Sewhere that’s just less known than this house and is heavily guarded for her safety and sanity. We can even move Isabella in with her so she won’t be too lonely. This home in’t safe for her anymore.”“
1 stare across at Busso and cross my arms over my chest. I know he’s right, no matter how much I like to deny it, this place net safe for Alexia anymore. It’s a house strictly for cold–bloode IIsisiness.
“You’re right. I admit “She shouldn’t live here”
“Boss if she stays here any longer, I fear what’s going to happen to her. She’s been in danger more than twice. I don’t want to
My head bows in understanding “I guess we need to start looking for new locations.”
“Yeah” Kusso raises his coffee ming to his lips.
“How are you feeling?” He asked
“Are you asking me how I am!” The look on my face was that of disbelief. “Am I not allowed to?” He crossed his arms, :
1 quirked an eyebrow. “I guess but you’ve never asked me that question before.” “Just answer the question.” Russo said.
I rested my elbows on the counter. Think Matteo’s death will me at a later date right now. We got to focus on keeping Alessi site”
I pushed off the counter. “I’ve got a call with Alfonso in a bit declare. “I’ll catch everything up with you later.”
“All good” He responds before I take myself upstairs.
My eyes glanced down the hall at Alessia’s room and I told myself to let her sleep. I pressed my hand against my office door and stepped inside. I made my way to the desk before collapsing on the chair.
I could feel my bones ache inside my body. I was beyond exhausted. All of this is a fucking mess and I wished for once things would be simple.
I called Alfonso a litle while later once I sorted myself out, preparing myself for a conversation that was only going to get me more exhausted and I wished I had slept last night.
“Leonardo” How are you doing?” Alfonso picked up the phone after the fourth ring. My chair rotated slowly and I looked at
wodow. “Thad a rather eventful night”
“What happened!
“Maneo was the one who was leaking out sensitive information?
The line is silent for a moment. “Shit” He curses.

“How’d you find out? What happened?” “He’s dead,” I state simply
“He threatened Russo’s sister, Alessia, in our home.”
“Fuck! Leo. Did he say why?
I pick up a pen and begin to twirl it between my fingers slowly. Just jealousy, power–hungry and delusional.”
Alfonso snorts quietly. “Shit I sigh
“so. I have news on Landon”
This makes me sit up in my chair straighter. “Yeah!”
“When you told me before that Landon had someone ransacked your house and attempted to hurt Russo’s sister,” he starts and
my hand clenches around the phone lighter just thinking about it. “Well, Landon confided in me about it. He believes that the guy who he ordered to break into your home didn’t make it to yours. He believes he fled. He said that neither you nor Russo have made a move for revenge so he believes that the guy didn’t go through with the mission.”
My eyes flick from the wall to the window and back again. “Interesting.”
“Which puts you guys at an advantage because he thinks that things are still okay between the lot of you,” Alfonso said and 1 could tell he had on a hint of a smirk.
“And what about the plan between the two of you?”
“He’s still not interested in investing in my club. Landon is smart I don’t believe he’d put so much trust in me when I haven’t seen him in lord knows how long
I placed the pen back down and stood up from my desk. I walked between the chairs so I could get a better look at the weather outside. “He’s always thought you were as brutal and bloodthirsty as hum.”
“Things change.
“So what about your club launch?
Alfonso hums. “Landon is out of town this weekend. He’s flying to Milan so we don’t have to worry about his entourage showing up. The place is going to be heavily guarded and full of security cameras. I made sure it’s the safest club in want so you can bring whomever you want. I also think it will be the perfect place to discuss business plans,”
I nod once. “Of course,” I say. “I look forward to catching up Alfonso,”
“Likewise.” He says.
“We can finally bring down Landon once and for all. My voice turns a notch darker.
The world will be a better place when every bone in his body is broken and I can hold his decapitated head in my head as a trophy.
Alessia Guzman
Ive been in bed all day. Seconds felt like hours. Hours felt like an eternity. But I don’t want to move. I refused to move.
The series of deaths Eve experienced is slowly getting to me. It’s slowly becoming a life I can escape from
I remember waking up alone even though Leonardo held me until I fell asleep last night.
His presence and warmth comforted me despite everything that happened as if his safety blanket could somehow cure me

from the spiraling depths of hell
Russo walks into my bedroom silently at some point in the afternoon. I glanced across my shoulder at him to find a tray of food and a large glass of orange juice. “Hi.” He says as he walks
forling!”
and sets it down on my bedside table. “How are you
I took a look at him and glanced back to the wall. He sighs deeply and then perches on the edge of my bed.
“Al please talk to me.”
“There’s nothing to say
His expression crumbles but I avoid his gaze. He presses a hand on my ankle over the duvet. “I’ve been thinking” He says aloud. “That maybe it’d be much safer for you if you didn’t live with us here. Well, at least until we’ve taken care of Landon.”
What?!
