“Oh yeah? He tried to kill us! Did you overlook that?!”

“Gag her,” Riccardo mentioned.

“What? No!”

A material was positioned over my nostril and mouth.

Seconds later, my world went darkish.

One week later

The bed room door opened, and I sat up straight in mattress. Since I’d been kidnapped—once more by my grandfather, I’d been put in the identical room he held me hostage in earlier than.

My mom entered and closed the door behind her, and I sighed in reduction.

Meals was left on a tray in entrance of the door and a fast knock would come to let me realize it was there. The one communication I’d had with the surface world was overhearing my grandfather converse to Davide when he thought I used to be nonetheless unconscious from the chloroform material he’d used to knock me out.

That was the factor about my grandfather. The final time I’d been right here I’d overheard him speaking however this time, what I heard despatched worry straight to my coronary heart.

“Dameon is lifeless. I’m certain of it,” Davide had mentioned.

“And Dominic?” my grandfather requested.

“His state is unknown.”

It had taken every part I needed to maintain pretending I used to be unconscious.

“Cappalli did his half, but when Dominic remains to be alive, we can have larger issues,” my grandfather mentioned.

“Your son and daughter didn’t point out if he made it out of the warehouse alive?”

“Their struggle was intense and after I gave the order to bomb the place, they acquired separated.”

“So, they’re undecided?”

“No.”

“That’s not good.”

“Inform me some shit I don’t know, Davide.” My grandfather sighed roughly.

“You can attain out to the Moroccos. They’re nonetheless on good phrases with us and the Lucas Cosa Nostra.”

“They’d by no means betray the Cosa Nostra. They’re extra allied with them then they’re with us.”

“What about Rolando?”

“What about him? He gave us our probability and Antonio Cappalli snuffed the life out of Dameon. We received’t get a second one. This was a once-in-a-lifetime alternative and we have been purported to execute it like Antonio did. It received’t be lengthy now earlier than Rolando is tossed out.”

“I assumed the purpose of Rolando’s help was so he might ascend to Dameon’s place?”

“If Dominic is lifeless, then sure. If he’s not, then Rolando’s issues are bigger than ours.”

My pulse raced, and I might really feel my physique trembling. It wouldn’t be for much longer that I might maintain on to my pretense and proceed mendacity there listening. The considered Dominic’s loss of life tightened my intestine, and I felt bile inching up my throat. Seconds later, I jerked ahead, turned, and vomited.

I used to be dragged out of the room and locked inside this one. I hadn’t seen my dad and mom the complete time, however seeing my mom come by the door now was a reduction.

She and my father hadn’t informed my grandfather that Dominic was alive after we left the warehouse. I needed to consider it was as a result of they cared, however I knew higher now. They’d motives, and I wanted to know what they have been.
