“What’s happened?” Elio demands, pulling me into his arms and claiming me from Portia
“Niccolò has lost his mind,” Rocco snarls. “He kidnapped Inessa.”
“Fuck,” Dario sighs, running a hand through his hair.
“Yeah, fuck. But what makes it worse? He kidnapped her just as she was about to marry Sergei Turgenev.”
“The fuck was he playing at?” Elio snaps. “Why would he steal the Pakhan’s bride?”
I’m so confused. I have no idea who Inessa is or what a Pakhan is.
“The Russian mafia,” Jade whispers, no doubt seeing the confusion on my face. “Niccolò has just started a war with the Bratva. Not to mention, Inessa was his daughter’s best friend, and he hates her.”
I look up at my husband. The fear is palpable, not just from me but from Portia. Whereas Jade and the Gallo men are ready, their faces filled with determination.
This can’t be happening. God. No. This isn’t happening.
Elio’s grip on me tightens. “We’re going to be okay,mia amata,” he says. “Trust me, nothing is going to happen to you.”
Does he realize it’s not me who I’m worried about? What about him? We’ve just found our happiness, and now that could be ripped away because there’s a war coming.
