He can’t imply that, can he? It is simply due to the marriage, as a result of he has some concept that marriage means one thing. It’s as a result of he nearly misplaced us.

It could actually’t be as a result of he actually loves me. Catarina.

Can it?

I travel about leaving from his father’s place, however resolve to bide my time. The cash Angelo places in my account every week is loads to get me and Chelsea out of city.

I’m not nervous about cash, however I’m nervous about Andrea Bianchi’s safety. He’s caputo, and he is very effectively protected.

I wait till we’re again on the penthouse, proper after the flight house, and I get up Chelsea in the course of the night time however fortunately, she’s again asleep earlier than we get to the automotive.

ANGELO

The morning my complete life falls aside begins like another morning. Catarina and Chelsea aren’t of their beds once I get up, however that’s common. They normally stand up sooner than me as a result of I’m by no means an early hen.

I sigh, scratching my stomach and going to the kitchen to make espresso. That’s once I see the word, caught within the espresso carafe.

Angelo,

I’m sorry. It’s simply not protected right here.

-C

I throw the espresso pot in opposition to the room and it shatters in opposition to the again wall. I throw the kitchen desk the other way up, however nothing helps.

My ladies are gone once more, and this time it’s not due to some exterior enemy. It’s as a result of Catarina doesn’t love me. She doesn’t belief me to guard them.

I’m contemplating whether or not to run to the liquor retailer and purchase a few case of tequila when Dante calls me.

“Do you will have a job?” I ask in a bark.

“No,” he says, sounding shocked. “I needed to examine on the women.”

“They’re nice,” I say by means of gritted tooth. “They’re nice, Catarina simply left me. She fucking left me, Dante.” My voice breaks on the finish and I absorb a pointy breath, making an attempt to maintain it collectively.

“You let her go away?” he says in a low voice.

“Wh-what?”

“If Mia left me, I’d burn the world down to seek out her. Why are you being a pussy and simply sitting on the home?”

I slowly straighten up. Dante is true. How am I going to let my ladies simply up and go away? That’s not how this works.

We’re famiglia, and we keep collectively. It doesn’t matter what.

“Thanks,” I say, and dangle up, placing on a T-shirt over my sweatpants. I examine the bank card statements and see that she’s pulled cash out of an ATM close by.

I’m going to each lodge within the space till I discover her, below the title Catherine Smith, at a close-by Motel 6. She might have afforded a significantly better place, however I do know Catarina and I do know that she’s frugal.

It solely takes a hundred-dollar invoice to bribe the attendant and I’ve the room quantity. I’m going up the elevator, bouncing on my heels with nervous power.

I bang on the door.

“Let me in, Catarina,” I say firmly, nevertheless it comes out as extra of a plea.

“No,” she shoots again, proper on the door.
