“Like fuck I do,” he growls, looking past me into the house.
I place his hand over my erratic heart.
“I’m sorry, Luca.” I release his hands and step back, propping myself up against the door for support.
“Well, well, well, who do we have here?”
I go stiff as Dante snakes his hand around my waist, pulling me into his side.
“Go to hell,” Luca snarls.
His arm goes behind his back. Shit, his gun. Remembering Dante’s threat, I jump out of his hold and grab his elbow tight. He frowns at me.
“Don’t, Luca.” I keep my tone firm. “Go.” I point at the stairs and nod towards them.
Dante laughs behind us. I swear, once Eva is free, once everyone knows the truth, he is going to have a painful death. That in itself keeps me going.
“Rosa, move,” Luca growls.
I stay firmly in place between the two of them.
“No. It’s over. We are done, Luca.”
His green eyes stare into my soul. This man knows me better than anyone. He knows how much I love him. I have to trust he will know something is wrong. At least, I hope so.
“Endgame, Rosa,” he whispers.
That one word offers me hope as I watch him walk away from me.

“Luca. Speak to me.” I can hear Grayson talking; I just don’t have it in me to respond. I’m dead on the inside.What was that?
“I am going to rip every single one of those assholes limb from limb for this. We have to get Rosa out of there. Call Frankie, get him to meet us,”I say through gritted teeth.
“Already done. He’s on his way. We have to be clever here.”
He’s right. But I don’t care. First up, I want to slice Maria’s throat. And watch as the life drains from her body, followed swiftly by Dante.I can’t face Keller. I can’t be the one to tear his heart out, too.
“Fuck!” I slam my fist on the console in front of me.
“Luca. Rosa is alive, the wedding is going ahead, right? He has a motive for this wedding, we know this. So we go back to the house, we fill Frankie in, and we plan our next move. You’ve seen what they’re capable of. Rosa played the game, Luca. She did you proud up there. She didn’t mean anything she said. Get your head back.”
She might not have, but it hurt, that’s for sure.
“I want to kill him, Grayson.” My hands shake with rage.
What if he’s hurting her? What if I can’t save her?
“You will. Doing anything right now puts her in even more danger. Trust me, I dealt with my fair share of hostage situations.”Grayson glances over as he turns the car into the driveway of the safe house.
My throat starts to close up. I can’t breathe.
He reaches out and puts his hand on my shoulder. “Luca. Calm down.”
I can barely hear him. I keep pulling at the door and swivel in my chair to start kicking at it.
