Chapter 71 Salvatore

Dinner should’ve felt comforting. Both families together. Food on the table. Voices filled the old school building, making it feel like a real home. But underneath it all was a pulse of fear. A countdown. A storm waiting to break. As soon as the plates were cleared, I stood.“Roc,” I said. “Matteo. Wolf. Papà. My office. We need to plan.”Roc was already halfway out of his chair before I finished the sentence.Matteo nodded. Wolf cracked his knuckles. Papà pushed back from the table with a quiet sigh. We were ready.But when I turned, Sara stood too. I shook my head gently. “Bambina… stay with the women. Rest. You’ve been through enough today.” It wasn’t an order. It wasn’t dismissive. It was me trying to protect her. But she froze. Then her eyes narrowed. And I knew I’d said the wrong thing.“Sit with the women?” she repeated, voice low.“Sara...”“No.” She stepped closer, fire in her eyes. “I’m going in that room.”I exhaled slowly. “You need to breathe. You need to calm down. Let u

Chapter 72 Marco/Roc

My head throbbed. My wrists burned. My throat was dry. But I'm awake. I have to stay awake.Voices drifted in from the hallway, Juan’s low and controlled, Rafe’s deeper and annoyed. I leaned as far as the ropes allowed, trying to catch every word.“…she’s at the Ricci safehouse,” Rafe said.My stomach dropped. Juan exhaled sharply. “And she’s annoyed the plan isn’t working?”“She said they’re all acting like one big happy family,” Rafe replied. “Not blaming Sara. Not turning on her.”I closed my eyes. Good. Good. At least that part wasn’t falling apart.Juan scoffed. “Idiots. All of them. I thought the Riccis would tear her apart the second they realized she brought danger to their doorstep.”Rafe shrugged. “They’re sticking together.”Juan muttered something in Spanish I couldn’t make out. Then a phone rang. He answered immediately. “Letta.”Letta. Of course it was Letta. Her voice carried through the hall, sharp, irritated, whiny.“I don’t understand why this isn’t working,” she com

Chapter 73 Salvatore

Ghost arrived like a storm. No knock. No greeting. Just the door swinging open and him walking in with two duffel bags and a laptop under his arm. He looked the same as always, hoodie, boots, hair a mess, eyes sharp enough to cut glass.“Where can I set up?” he asked.Matteo pointed. “This way.” Ghost didn’t wait. He brushed past all of us, muttering under his breath about “idiots who think they’re smarter than they are.”Roc was pacing again. Sara sat on the edge of the desk, arms wrapped around herself. Wolf leaned against the wall, watching Ghost like he was a bomb about to go off. Ghost dropped his bags, opened his laptop, and started plugging in cables like he’d been here a hundred times.I stepped forward. “Ghost. We got a video.”He didn’t look up. “I heard.”Roc swallowed hard. “Marco...”Ghost held up a hand. “Save it. I’ll see it myself.”Sara handed him her phone.Ghost took it, finally pausing long enough to glance at the screen. He watched the video once. No reaction. No

Chapter 74 Juan

Everything was finally falling into place. Rafe stood near the table, loading a magazine with slow, deliberate movements. He wasn’t smiling. He rarely did. But tonight he looked even more uneasy than usual.“You really think she’s coming?” he asked.I adjusted my jacket in the cracked mirror on the wall. “She said she would.”Rafe grunted. “Too easy.”I smirked. “Sometimes things are easy when you’re smarter than everyone else.” He didn’t look convinced. I didn’t care. Sara was finally doing what she should’ve done years ago, choosing me. Choosing survival. Choosing the only person who ever understood her.Behind us, Marco shifted in the chair, the ropes creaking. He looked exhausted, pale, but still trying to glare at me like he had any power left. Pathetic. I walked over and crouched in front of him.“You hear that?” I asked softly. “She’s coming to meet me.”Marco’s jaw tightened. “She’s not coming alone.”I chuckled. “She said she would.”“She lied.”I leaned in closer. “No. She’s

Chapter 75 Sara/Salvatore

The house felt too quiet once Salvatore and the others left. Too still. Too heavy. Gabe clung to my hand as we walked down the hallway toward the room we were sharing. His curls bounced with every step, but his shoulders were tight, his little face pinched with worry he didn’t know how to hide.“Mama?” he whispered as I tucked him into bed.“Yeah, baby?”He looked up at me with those big brown eyes, Salvatore’s eyes, full of questions he didn’t know how to ask.“Are they gonna be okay? Dad and Uncle Roc and Uncle Matteo and… everybody?”My heart squeezed. I sat on the edge of the bed and brushed his hair back. “They’re coming home,” I said softly. “All of them.”He bit his lip. “When I wake up?”I nodded. “When you wake up.”He hesitated, then whispered, “Will you be here too?”That one hit deeper than I expected.I leaned down and kissed his forehead. “I’m not going anywhere. Ever.”He relaxed at that, finally letting his eyes close. Within minutes, his breathing evened out, soft and

Chapter 76 Salvatore

The SUV was silent except for Marco’s ragged breathing. Roc held him upright in the backseat, whispering to him in Russian, Italian, and English, voice shaking every time Marco’s eyes fluttered. We were halfway back to the safehouse when Marco stirred. “Roc…” His voice was barely a whisper. “Where’s… Letta?”Roc frowned. “Letta? Why the hell are you worried about Letta?”Wolf turned in his seat. “Yeah, man. Why her?”Even Papà looked confused. Marco swallowed hard, wincing. “Did… did Sara get the clue?”My stomach tightened. “What clue?”“In the video,” Marco whispered. “I said… don’t let her leave again.”Roc blinked. “I thought you meant Sara.”Marco shook his head weakly. “No. Not Sara. Letta.”Bruce stiffened in the front passenger seat. “My daughter? Why would you...”Marco’s voice cracked. “She’s working with Juan.”The car went dead silent. Roc froze. “No. No, she wouldn’t...”“She doesn’t know who he really is,” Marco said quickly. “I don’t think she knows what he’s done. But

Chapter 77 Sara

The call ended with Juan’s furious breathing still ringing in my ear. “You lose, Juan.” I said it quietly, but the words felt like steel in my mouth. Letta sobbed harder, her cuffed wrists trembling against the metal table. Katrina stood behind her, arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes full of a pain only a mother could feel. GreenLee, Kat, and Ciara stood around the room, calm but alert, watching Letta like she was a fuse that might spark again.Then the door burst open.Salvatore.Matteo.Luca.Wolf.Bruce.All of them covered in dust and smoke, breathing hard, eyes wild with panic. Salvatore’s gaze snapped to me instantly. “Sara...” He froze. Salvatore’s confusion was sharp enough to cut the air. “What… what is this?” he demanded. “Why is she...”He looked at me like I was the only one who could make sense of anything. And that’s when I realized: He thought something happened to us. I stepped toward him slowly. “You’re confused because you think we were taken.”His brows pulled together.

Chapter 78 Juan

How the hell did Sara figure it out? I paced the length of the room, jaw tight, hands clenched behind my back. The cheap motel carpet scratched under my boots, the buzzing fluorescent light above me flickering like it was mocking me. Letta shouldn’t have been a problem. She didn’t know my real name. She didn’t know who I was. She didn’t know anything except what I fed her. So how did Sara... Sara...see through it?Rafe stood near the door, arms crossed, watching me with that careful expression he used when he wasn’t sure if I was about to explode or not. “What do you want to do now?” he asked. “We already sent the men to St. Joe like you said.”I stopped pacing.St. Joe. A distraction. A test. A trap. And Ricci still didn’t fall for it.Rafe cleared his throat. “Boss… what’s next? What’s Plan C?”I stared at him. Plan C. I didn’t have one. Not yet. Because none of this made sense.Ricci wasn’t smart enough to outmaneuver me. He never had been. He was muscle, not mind. Luck, not strategy

Chapter 79 Sara

Two weeks. Two weeks of silence. Two weeks of nothing from Juan. Two weeks of everyone pacing the floors like caged animals. Even Salvatore was restless, and when he was restless, the whole house felt it. Finally, after enough arguing to shake the walls, the men agreed to let us go out. With security. With rules. With a convoy. But still... out.We needed supplies for tonight. Marco was finally being released from the medical wing, and I wanted to do something special. For him. For Roc. For all of them. Something normal. Something human. So we went. GreenLee, Kat, Ciara, Abuela, Nonna, and me. A small army of Ricci men shadowed us through the store aisles, pretending not to hover.We were halfway through the baking aisle when Abuela said something that made my entire body freeze. “Mi niña… you’ve been glowing lately.”I blinked. “Glowing?”She nodded, smiling. “Sí. Like your mother did before you were born.”My heart stopped. Completely. I hadn’t even...I hadn’t thought...I hadn’t rea

Chapter 80 GreenLee/Salvatore

Something felt wrong. I didn’t know what it was at first, a shift in the air, a silence where there shouldn’t have been one. But I’d lived too many years in this life to ignore instinct. And my instinct was screaming. I looked around the group. Kat and Ciara were arguing over which brand of pasta sauce tasted more “authentically Italian.” Abuela and Nonna were bickering in Spanish and Italian about which dessert we should make for Marco’s welcome‑home dinner.But one voice was missing. One presence. One girl. I straightened. “Where’s Sara?”The women froze.Kat blinked. “She was just here.”Ciara looked around. “She said she’d be right back.”My stomach dropped. “Right back from where?”The Ricci men trailing us stiffened. One of them, Nico, stepped forward. “She went to the bathroom.”I turned slowly. “Who went with her?” Silence. Not one of them answered. Not one of them met my eyes. I felt my blood pressure spike. “You let her go alone?”Nico swallowed. “We didn’t think...”“That’s
