“You knowhe’s going to be fucking pissed at us when they finally emerge from there,” Massimo jokes from beside me as we watch Nico carry his grinning wife into the guest house. I make a mental note to have our housekeeper leave them some food and water since I’m sure they’re going to be in there a while. Lucky bastard.
“Just stay out of shooting or striking range,” I laugh.
Suddenly the door opens and we both turn to look at who’s come in. I arch a brow when I see Zeno, Father, and Aurelio step in, their faces serious. I’m instantly on alert. Something’s happened.
Aurelio shuts the door and then turns to us. “We’ve got something,” he says, holding up a file. “My informant found one of the De Luca missing women.”
I can feel my eyes widen. Shit, this is big. “Which one?”
Aurelio flips open the file. “Her name is Sienna Harris, and she’s Gia’s older sister by two years. She was adopted out to a family that lived part-time in Europe, the rest in California.”
“Far away from her birth family,” Father summarizes. “Are there any signs that she knows who she is?”
Aurelio shakes his head. “Not that my guy found. She’s twenty-six, and looks to be taking after her father in his graphic design business. She’s got quite the portfolio, and is almost a dead ringer for Gia. She’s a bit taller and heavier than her sister, but the face and genetic traits are all there.”
“Have our men watch her, make sure that none of the De Lucas or their allies get wind of her,” Father orders.
“That’s the other part,” Aurelio says grimly. “Her name was flagged in a search in New York. Not sure which one found her, or how, but my guy is already working on it.”
We all curse. “We need to bring her in,” I say immediately, looking at my father.
Father nods. “If they get her, then we’re already behind in this war. Alessio, take either Lazaro or Alonzo and bring her here.”
I nod. “I’ll need a copy of her file,” I say to Aurelio.
He hands me the one in his hands. “I have another one. Good luck.”
I open the file, and I’m met by the sight of a woman who indeed looks like Gia, but there’s also something different. Where Gia has an innocence about her, this woman does not. And while Gia’s eyes are dark, Sienna’s are a warm hazel.
I have to hope that she’ll be as reasonable as Gia, but something tells me that won’t be the case. Still, I like a challenge, and I’ve never met a woman who can resist my charm when I really want to use it.
“Tell my Boo Bear that I’m sorry I missed him,” I say with a wicked smile over my shoulder. “But I’m sure we’ll have time to catch up when I get back.”
I walk out to groans and laughter behind me. Time to get to work reunite Sienna Harris with her family. And I won’t be back without her, even if I have to take a page out of Nico’s book and kidnap her.
The End…for now
