The room goes silent, all eyes on me, their leader.
“We have a two-part mission.” I throw up my hand, index finger raised. “First, find Eva.” I toss up another finger. “And second, kill Romano and Maria.”
Enzo works his way through the masses, passing out a picture of each target.
“They’re bringing their army over for war. We show no mercy. We have the commissioner on our side. They die. No questions, no hostages.”
“Frankie and Keller will be splitting you into groups, giving you locations and targets to hit. It’s going to be carnage out there.”
The room erupts into cheers, and I smile. “You bunch of sick fucks.”
“Where’s Grayson, boss?” A ruddy-faced new recruit asks from the front.
“Having a baby as we speak.”
Maddie is in labor. We’ve flown in the best doctors. They’ve gone to a second safehouse with a small army of men to protect them.
I’m eagerly waiting for the call. I just hope it goes smoothly for them and that their beautiful baby girl arrives into this chaos safely. That’s all I can ask for.
“Don’t worry, he will be back to whip you all into shape. For now though, you’ve got Keller the Killer himself.” I smirk at my brother.
“Now, let’s go! Whoever gets the highest kill count gets a hundred grand. Happy hunting.”
I turn from the eager mob to Frankie. “I need you guys to meet me in my office tonight. I have something I need to discuss with you.”
Keller and Frankie exchange a questioning look.
I duck under the ropes and push through the sea of our soldiers.
The war has started.
Now, I just need to let Rosa in on my crazy plan for us.

By the timeI get back, Rosa is still snuggled in bed. I stand in the doorway and watch her. She looks peaceful.
I shrug off my clothes and slip back into bed next to her. She sighs and cuddles up against my body, her soft skin brushing against mine. Even when my eyes threaten to close from exhaustion, I want her.
“Morning, bossman.” Her voice is croaky. She rubs her eyes and smiles up at me.
I roll on top of her, pinning her hands above her head.
“I didn’t have breakfast.” I nuzzle my nose into the sensitive spot behind her ear.
She looks up at me through her long, dark lashes.“Is that so?”
My jaw ticks when I spot those little purple bruises scattered on her bicep.
“Hey, back with me, Luca. I’m here with you.”
I shake my head, taking in my woman.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t save you sooner, that I didn’t see what that monster was doing to you. I will make up for it every day for the rest of our lives. I’m so fucking proud of you, tesoro. The strength you’ve shown, you’ve fought harder than anyone.”
Her eyes glisten with tears. As one starts to fall, I bend down and lick the salty drop from her cheek.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world, getting to love you forever.”
