“Going somewhere?” His deep voice makes me want to vomit.
I have no words. I can’t speak as fear grips hold of me.
He holds out his hand. “Give me that damn phone. You can’t be trusted, can you?”
I shake my head. It’s my one lifeline.
“Rosa!” he roars, lunging at me.
He grabs me by the waist, throwing me up in the air, and I bounce off the bed, crashing onto the floor.
“You won’t be leaving this room, only for our wedding. One wrong move, Eva dies,” he spits out, snatching the phone from the floor and kicking my bag on his way out.
The door slams shut, making me jump.
I curl up into a ball on the floor, sobs erupting through me.
I’ve lost everything.

Ihit dial on Rosa’s number for the twentieth time. It cuts off on the second ring.
“Everything okay?” Frankie asks. I look up and he raises a brow.
“Fine,” I lie.
“You said you wanted to speak to me?” He sits down heavily in the chair across from my desk.
I drop my forehead against my hand, propping myself as I stare at the silent phone in front of me. “We need to kill Romano.”
“Yes, we established that, Luca. In time, we will.”
I don’t have time. I need it done before Rosa’s wedding.
“I mean now.”
He leans back and hooks his arm behind the corner of his seat. “And how do we plan on that? Fly out to Italy? Start a war over there? The commissioner made it clear it has to be done here.”
“How do we get them here?” I knock back the scotch, hitting dial on Rosa’s number again.
Frankie’s lips thin. “Who the fuck do you keep calling?”
I swallow, unable to tell him.
“What is going on with you?” His eyes narrow.
“Just leave it. How do we get Romano here? You know him well enough. Kidnap Maria?” I’d love to have her gone.
He throws his head back and laughs. “No. We want him and his family on their own with minimal protection. Not an entire army.”
“Okay, so the plan is—” He cuts me off with an exasperated sigh.
“After Rosa’s wedding. I invited the whole family, and they accepted. I also arranged a meeting at one of our units the next day. That will be when we make the hit, if you really can’t wait any longer. We just have to hope he doesn’t bring his whole organization. It depends on how much he trusts us.”
My jaw ticks.Rosa’s wedding.
