The parking lot is dark and eerily. I can see no movement.
He’s hiding…
“Mr. Lombardi!” I call. “Show your cowardly face.”
Silence.
My men and I exchange looks.
“Get out here!” I yell.
I hear a phone ringing in the distance and we all glance at one another. The phone keeps ringing and we look over to see it’s coming from a payphone on the corner of the street.
Sergio goes and answers it. “Hello.”
His eyes glance up and over to me before he holds the phone out. “It’s for you.”
My eyes scan the roads and buildings around us. Is this a set up?
I take the phone from Sergio.
“Hello, Enrico,” a husky male voice sneers. “Looking for me?”
“Show your face.”
He laughs out loud. I narrow my eyes as I look around at the buildings surrounding us. He’s here somewhere. I can feel him watching us.
“You will get out of Sicily and hand me possession of all the brothels, or you will face the consequences.”
I smile at his stupidity. “Or, what?”
“Or I’m making a visit to House of Valentino.”
What?
My blood runs cold.
“And your blonde… Olivia Reynolds…will pay for your stupidity on the end of my knife.” He laughs out loud. “I’m going to chop her up into tiny pieces and fry her bones.” He laughs again, a sick and twisted sound. It echoes through my brain causing a shock wave through my system.
Then… the phone goes dead.

Enrico
Anger surges throughout my body and I turn to my men.
“Kill him.” I squeeze the phone in my hand so hard, I’m certain it will break. “Kill anyone who stands in your way. I want him dead. I want them all fucking dead!” I growl, I turn and storm to the cars. I jump into the driver’s seat, and the men scramble behind me to keep up.
Getting home to Olivia just became my only priority.
He threatened her. He’s already killed an innocent woman.
He knows where she works.
I start the car as men are still jumping in. I don’t have time for their delays. “Hurry up!” I yell as they scramble around me. I dial Lorenzo’s number on hands free. My stress levels are at an all-time high.
“Hello.”
