I cuddle her into me. She laughs as I start to press wet kisses all along her neck.
“That tickles!”
I rub my beard along her skin, her body vibrating against me. Her laugh makes me smile from ear to ear.
“Okay, time for a bath.” I lift her up and carefully submerge her into the bath. She laughs as the bubbles tip over the edge and go all over my shoes.
“Oops.” I glance down at the puddle I’m standing in before bending over. “One last kiss, then I have to go,” I say, dropping to savor her swollen lips.
As I open the door, I stop as she asks, “Was it Uncle Frankie? Is he home?”
There’s that sparkle in her eye, and for that second, it makes me hate him less. Knowing if he stays alive, he can help her.
All those times he’s questioned Rosa’s safety and my plans. He was never going to let me hurt her. She needs someone to help her fight. No matter how fucking angry I am at him right now, if Maddie is unharmed, alive and well, then maybe, just maybe, I will let him live. For her.
But what he’s really up to, and his plans for me, are anyone’s guess.
“I think so, baby.”
She gives me a sad smile and nods. I forget she is the daughter of Marco sometimes; she grew up in this life.My own mafia princess.
My heart skips a beat when I realize, earlier, she knew what she was saying. She was allowing me to kill her family if it meant I would come back to her.
We are in deep. Far too deep.
CHAPTERTHIRTY
luca
Grayson yanks open the doors to Marco’s Italian restaurant. Enzo confirmed both Marco and Frankie are in here. But he made no mention of Maddie.
With our guns pointed, we storm towards a relaxed-looking Frankie, who smiles at us. I look to my left and Marco is tied to the chair. What in the fuck?
“Welcome. Come in. Take a seat.” He gestures to the two chairs opposite him at the little wooden table.
“I don’t think so, Frankie. How about I just shoot you instead?”
I walk past Grayson and head straight to Frankie, pressing my gun into the side of his head, and he laughs.
That asshole.
“I wouldn’t do that if you want to see your precious Maddie again.”
I relax my grip slightly at his reminder.
“Where the fuck is she?” Grayson roars.
“Where would be the fun in simply telling you? Come and sit.”Frankie’s voice drops into a serious tone and kicks one of the chairs free of the table.
Grayson nods to me and pulls out the chair. My eyes dart to Marco and a whole new wave of anger barrels through me as I think of the hurt he’s caused Rosa, after everything he knows she’s been through.
Today he will pay.
“Frankie, just shoot the asshole,” Marco grits out.
Oh, fuck this.
I whip my pistol and point it straight at him. His eyes go wide. I smirk, my finger itching to pull the trigger.
