“No. Get in the car immediately and drive to Milan railway station. Ella is on the fucking train, and you need to intercept her.”
I hear him running through the house, and a moment later I hear a car door shut. “On my way,” Mateo tells me.
“Also, get Uberto to hack the ATM cameras and the CCTV at the train station. See if he can find her. I’m pretty sure she dumped the earrings.”
“Shit. No more trackers then.” It’s not really a question. He knows the answer as well as I do. “I’m on it. I’ll call you.”
Mateo is my perfect wingman in all things, especially in a crisis. He remains calm and thinks clearly. Something I lack at the moment.
If she was on the train, how did she get on it undetected with us there?
Is Santino right? Did she use the train station as a distraction and slip out a side entrance?
No, my gut is never wrong. She was on that train, but still, it’s best to cover everything.
“I want the surrounding streets searched. Check in with the bus depots and taxis. We have to find her before Molinaro does.”
I rub my face in frustration.
My heartbeat has found its rhythm again, and the yearning in my stomach is gone.
Dammit, she’s no longer here.
Come back to me, angel. Why did you run?
Chapter Thirty-One
Ella
AsIsitonthe train, a million thoughts are running through my mind.
This was such a close call.
Did I really just get away?
I can’t believe it.
Surely, one of Tiero’s goons made it onto the train.
Every time someone walks past me, I tremble, half expecting a tap on the shoulder.
Nothing happens though, and after a while I relax.
Wow, I really got away!
The pain in my heart increases as the train pulls farther and farther away from the man who stole my heart. The single tear rolling down my cheek is not alone for long. A part of me is dying.
I abruptly get up and rush to the toilet. I can’t lose it with people watching. It would draw too much attention.
As I lock the door behind me and sit down on the closed lid, I allow the tears to flow freely.
This hurts… so much.
It’s like a piece of my soul is ripped from me. And Tiero is holding it in his hand.
All I want to do is curl up in a ball and hide. My stomach twists in pain.
The desperate look on Tiero’s face haunts me.
