“No.”

He nodded. “What’s the plan?”

“The place is his son?”

Bruno’s eyes became slits. “Penelope’s father?”

“Sure.”

“He’s been taken captive on the second flooring,” Mano mentioned. “Does he know the place Penelope is?”

“I don’t know.”

“Take me to him.”

13 males had been lined up on their knees within the eating corridor. I glanced in any respect of them and noticed Penelope’s father.

Strolling to him, I eliminated my cellular phone and answered it on speakerphone when it rang.

“The place is she?”

“She’s within the attic together with her bitch mom.”

“I’ve your son right here, Riccardo. Do you intend to run and depart him within the lion’s den?”

“He can fend for himself.”

Penelope’s father glared on the cellphone, enraged at his father’s personal phrases.

“What sort of father leaves his son to die?”

“The sort that understands that it’s each man for himself on this world.”

My capos had been already shifting to the attic to see if Penelope was there.

“I gave you what you need, Lucas!” he shouted by means of the cellphone.

One in all my capos returned and nodded. “I’m a person of my phrase,” I mentioned. I disconnected the decision and snapped my finger at Penelope’s father. Bruno grabbed his collar and jerked him to his ft.

I eyed him. “Your father has left you for lifeless. However…I’m going to provide the alternative of a lifetime. Perceive me—–Riccardo can’t reside. Both you kill him, or I’ll. And when you do, I’ll maintain it between us. Your daughter won’t ever understand it was you who killed her grandfather. I’ll let her consider it was me. You’ve obtained twenty-four hours.”

I walked away from him and went for Penelope.

Epilogue

Penelope

I relived the second that his shadow stuffed the attic’s doorway. My coronary heart lurched, and tears stained my face as I ran to him.

Dominic wrapped me in his arms, and I wept towards his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

I used to be dehydrated and fatigued from the fixed vomiting. Morning illness had hit me so roughly that I felt on the sting of life at occasions. My mother and father knew I used to be pregnant, and as a lot as my mother tried to help me, Riccardo stored her away as a lot as attainable.

He was the satan, and I couldn’t perceive how somebody like him might have the identical blood operating by means of his veins as me and my father.

“I’m by no means leaving your facet once more,” Dominic murmured in my ear.
