“I don’t know what to do,” Lorenzo said.“I can’t go against my father, but this whole deal feels wrong.”
“What does Alessandro think?”
“He doesn’t care. He just wants more money and more power.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know.” He pulled Mia in close.“I don’t know.”
Chapter16
Mia awoke with a start, her heart pounding against her chest. She lay still for a few moments, trying to make sense of what had disturbed her. Then she remembered: Lorenzo was sleeping in the bed next to her, his breathing slow and steady.
Mia carefully slipped from the bed, trying not to disturb Lorenzo. She tip-toed out of the room and down the hallway, her bare feet padding silently against the thick carpet.
Mia crept down the stairs and across the living room, freezing at the sound of a voice. But she looked around, and there didn’t seem to be anyone there.
She continued on her way, finally making it out of the house and into the cool night air.
The night was dark, the only light coming from the stars above. Mia started to make her way down the driveway, flinching at every crunch of gravel under her feet.
Finally, she made it to the end of the drive and out the gate.
A little further down the road, was a car. Mia jumped in.
Greyson was in the driver’s seat.
“You okay?” He said.
“Yes,” Mia said.“I’m fine.”
“Did you get the intel?”
Mia nodded.
“And?”
“You’re right. The Rossi’s and Monatto’s are joining forces. They plan to take over the entire state.”
“Do you know when the deal goes down?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Alright. You did good. We can take it from here.”
“What do you mean?”
Mia looked up towards the house. She saw a figure running across the lawn.
She jumped out of the car, seeing another figure, and another.
Greyson got out of the car. Mia spun to look at him.
“You’re taking them down?”
“No. That’s not us. That’s the Monatto’s. We’ll come in tomorrow and clean it all up.”
“For fuck’s sake, Greyson! They’re going to kill the entire family!”
