“Of course, you do, dear. Vincent Giordano is quite a good catch. Lucky man too.”
“Thank you.”
The intense look he gives me as he glares at me freezes my blood. The look doesn’t match the fake-as-hell smile he’s trying to mask it with.
Or maybe that’s his intent.
With a nod of his head, he leaves me.
Leaves me staring after him until I can’t see him anymore.
I wouldn’t be foolish enough to think I got off free.
No. I didn’t
He knows it’s me, and if that is so, everyone I know is in danger.
Dad…. Does he know where Dad is?
If he found me, then maybe he found Dad too.
What am I going to do?
Then there’s Vincent… the only person who might be able to help me.
Why would he though?
This is the Bratva. You go against them, and it’s war.
He has a family, and I’m a debt repayment.
My time will be up in six days.
I have to leave.
I have to get to Dad and leave.
* * *
I have a plan.
I sent Dad a message letting him know I needed to see him.
I was discreet, not saying too much because I don’t want to cause him to panic.
Vincent gave me my phone back, but I’m careful. He’s not here. He left early, which made my plan possible.
I have my passport and clothes that fit in the handbag. It’s not enough, but it will do for a few nights.
I’ve arranged with Pierbo to take me into town. I said I needed to get a few personal things.
We’ll be leaving in ten minutes.
I look around the bedroom I’ve lived in for the last three and a half weeks. I remember that first night when I slept on the floor. I was so scared.
I’ve lived my life in fear for so long. It’s been too long.
Too damn long, so long I can’t remember what it’s like to just be normal.
