DARIO
We haven’t told my father that we are coming. After I contacted a trusted member of the corporation, they set up this meeting. The car slowly pulls up to my father’s large estate. I’ll let him keep this home because it’sNonna’shome more than it has ever been his. If everything goes well today, I’ll run the business from my offices in the city.
Luna squeezes my hand, letting me know she loves me without saying the words. I turn to look at her, and she smiles at me. She has smiled more in the last couple of weeks than she ever did before. We had to spend an extra week in Russia so that she could heal and we could figure everything out. Dante ended up having McKenna, his son, and his father flown up for that week in order to keep them safe.
Anatonia’s hacker, Lex, found the wire transfers my father recently paid Formanski to have Dante killed. Lex also found evidence that members of my personal security team were on my father’s payroll. That explained how he knew our every step. I fired that agency and hired a man who used to work with Ana in the past. He’s sitting in the front seat now. He has free rein to hire whomever he wants, and he’ll be my and Luna’s security from now on. Luna tried to tell me she didn’t need security, but I’m not going to play around with her safety. She’s mine, and I know people will try to come after her in the future because of all she’s done. The records that she leaked prove that Moreau and Formanski pulled the strings, but she was their weapon. Her name was never released, but that doesn’t mean people can’t find out.
“Boss, you sure about this?” Spencer’s deep voice breaks me from my thoughts.
Looking around the driveway, I see several cars. All of them are members of the board, but some are family too. I look behind us when Spencer looks back. Today, instead of being in my Ferrari, we are in a sedan so that we can have guards with us.
“Don’t worry, that’s my cousin,” I say as soon as I see Vittoria’s small car pull up behind us.
“They are blocking us in.” Spencer jumps out of the car to stop her.
I watch as she gets out of her car and he stops and stands there, just staring.
I open the door and reach in to help Luna. She is dressed in a long-sleeved crew neck cream-colored dress that falls to mid-calf and matching cream-colored ankle boots. The dress is plain, but with her curves, it’s stunning on her. She’s completely opposite of my all-black suit, the only color being my white button-down shirt. I hold her to my side with my hand around her hip, and she melts into me. When she looks up at me with her hazel green eyes, I know why I’m doing this. There is no doubt in my mind or heart. She is mine, and I’ll keep her no matter what.
“Rio.” Vittoria rushes to our side. She leans up to kiss my cheek and then pulls Luna from my hold to hug her. She’s dressed in a very short black pencil skirt and a wide collared jacket that has accents of blue in it. “I was so worried about you. Mamma and Papà said that you were okay, but I didn’t believe them.” Vittoria’s father could be my hold out on the vote. He’s always sided with my father on whatever direction the family was going to take.
“Come on, let’s get this over with.” I direct both ladies to lead the way.
I follow behind and can’t keep my eyes off Luna’s sexy ass. I had her just before we got dressed, and I want her again. I avert my eyes when we get to the door. Vittoria opens it, and we walk in, but she stops for a moment and turns to look at me.
“Papà didn’t say you were going to be here. They aren’t going to be happy.”
I don’t do more than nod as I see my father moving toward us. He has a gun in his hand aimed at Luna. Luna holds her ground, and I watch as she holds a hand out to stop Spencer from jumping between them.
I move though because I’m not going to allow anyone to threaten my woman.
“Drop your gun, now, Papà,” I demand in English so that Spencer knows what’s being said.
“No, she threatened this family, and I won’t have her here. She’s a damnLupotoo.” He spits her name. I pull her into my side tight and hold up her hand that hasNonna’sring on it.
“She’s my wife,” I declare, and Vittoria gasps. “You threaten her, you threaten me.” While in Russia, we got married. It was one of the ways I knew I could protect her, but I did it mostly because she’s my love. “She’s aRevellonow.” I spit my last name at him just like he did hers. Luna’s body vibrates next to me. She doesn’t like that gun aimed at her any more than I do.
“I can’t believe you got married without telling me,” Vittoria squeals and tries to move between us and my father, but his guards are bearing down on us now.
Spencer grabs her from behind and shoves her behind him. I’m glad he thought to see to her safety because just as I think it’s going to cool down, my father cocks his gun and Luna springs into action. The gun fires as she pushes it above our heads. She twists and turns in a blur, and my father is pushed across the room and his guards are falling as she takes them out. I have a gun in my father’s face as I hear Spencer bark.
“Now,” he says into his comm, and the house is swarmed by Lupo soldiers. Dante strides in and stops next to his sister.
“Call off your guards, or I’ll let her kill them all,” I order my father. Luna only hurt the guards; she didn’t kill them.
“This is my home. Stop it, now,”Nonnasays loudly, and everyone turns to her.
“You gave him your ring to marry her.” My father tries to push my gun away, but I keep it right in his face. He glares at me, but until he calls off the attack on Luna, I won’t give.
“I did. It’s time, Giuseppe. You’ve done enough.”Nonnatries to soothe him.
His features change and darken right in front of me. I see the evil that has lurked there for so long. He pushes my gun away again and pulls a second one that he aims at me. I’m out of the way and the gun is going off before I can blink. I look over to see Luna holding the gun in his face. I don’t understand how it missed her, and I move to her as she crumples to the floor. I run for her, but Dante gets to her first. He hands her to me. She holds the gun to her chest as she looks up at me.
“I love you,amore mio.I couldn’t have him kill you.” Her words give me pause, and I look to where my father is holding a knife that is piercing his chest. I look back to her and start looking for the bullet wound but don’t see it. I don’t see blood.
“Here.” Dante holds a knife out, and I use it to slice her dress open and find she’s wearing a thin bulletproof vest. I put on one, but she told me she didn’t need to. This is why. She already had one on. She just didn’t tell me.
“Is she okay?” Vittoria is crying as she clings to Spencer’s back. He’s holding two guns on my father’s guards.
