I stare at him wondering how he could be the mole, how he could do this to his brother but I guess no one ever actually knows a person because intentions can always be hidden with lies and deception
His eyes fly to the back of the kitchen. “Where’s Guila? Is it okay if I ask
k for a cup of coffee?”
I stood up from the stool shaking my head. “Oh, that’s fine. I’ll get the coffee.” But deep down, I just needed an excuse to not
be near him.
I head to the coffee machine and relax my face. Pretending that all is normal is fucking hard when bringing fake is something that makes your stomach churn. “Latte?” I called out
*Please.”
My fingers whizzed around the machine, putting in the pod and lining up a cup beneath it
“So I thought you were supposed to be in Italy!” Immediately the question left my mouth, I regretted asking it.
Was I saying too much? I wasn’t supposed to know anything about him, right?
I can’t do this!
I looked over at him when he didn’t answer my question and I noticed that he had a phone in his hands–my phone. I could spot it from a mile away with the black hearts printed on the back of the case. My eyes widened as 1 quickly whipped my gaze up to Matteo’s stare.
His nostrils begin to flare and his jaw clenches as
Shid
My messages to Russo!
he reads over something on the screen.
I press my
hands backward, searching for the drawer with the gun inside. My hands slim down on the counter a little too loudly and I wince.
Matteo’s eyes widened as he glanced up at me and I froze like a deer caught in headlights.
Panic shoots through me and I exhale a loud breath, giving me way instantly. The back of my neck is becoming increasingly warm with the heaviness of my thick hair. But I kept my eyes on him because I had no idea what he was thinking or what he’d even read.
Before I knew it, Matteo had drawn his gun from his waistband and clicked off the safety within a matter of seconds, aiming it straight for the center of my chest.
I’ve been close to dying so many times I’m starting to get practically used to it.
I keep my expression blank, trying my hardest not to look scared but after everything that has happened, with Enzo, Landon, and that guy who broke into the house, anything could be possible with these power–hungry bastards.
“Don’t fucking move.” Matteo barks from across the kitchen and blink at his sudden change of tone.
“Why are you doing this? Leonardo is your brother.”
“Shut the fuck up, girl. You know nothing about us.”

never heard a tone so deadly. Words dipped in venom. So I don’t move because his finger is pressing into the trigger with too much pressure that I’m sure he’d waste no time shooting if I so much as flinch.
Is this the day I finally die?

“Boss. I promise, I know nothing. I was only in the house to drop off some documents and nothing more.” Trey pleads with his hands tied to the chair.
My brother may be a douchebag but there’s still a chance that he wasn’t the mole. I had to interrogate Trey too.
I cross my arms over my chest, bored of the same words they use when they’re begging for your life. I fucking want answers.
me out of the comer of his eye. “So you know nothing about
My steps around him are agonizingly slow and he watches m what went down with Rizzo and Gabriel?”
“No!” He bellows and I glanced up at the two guards standing behind him, who have their hands behind their backs, attention away from us.
I huffed out a breath. “You’re not giving me what I want, Trey.” His mouth opens and he groans. “Because I know nothing.”
My phone buzzed in my back pocket and I took it out to look at the notification. A security message from the house. I furrow my brows and quickly tap on the screen. The app popped open, showing the camera to the outside of my house.
Lean feel my blood run cold as I stare back at Matteo trying to get into the house but since we got everything changed for extra security, he can’t. But I took a deep breath remembering that Alessia isn’t alone at the moment. Russo is with her and I couldn’t exactly leave in the middle of this. Rupso would handle I trust him.
After a few moments, I shoved my phone back into my pocket and glanced at Trey who was studying me carefully.
“Why should I believe you?”
“You know me, boss. I was just a small–time drug dealer on the streets until you found me. I don’t care about anything else! I owe you my life and I would never betray you. You have to believe me.” He breathes heavily,
I stared into his eyes and he looked so convincing that I wondered if he was such a good liar or if I was slowly losing my judgment.
A loud noise echoes from outside the room and I glanced towards the door. Seconds later, Russo came inside.
What the fuck is he doing here.
“Please don’t tell me Alessia is alone in the house.” I asked, my heartbeat accelerating
He looked at me confused.
“Did you
“Did you even check your security app? Matteo is on my fucking doorstep and I thought you were with her!”
1 glanced towards the guards. “Keep him here until I say so. “Yes boss.”
We exit the room swifily, Russo looking more scared than I do.
“What the fuck were you thinking leaving her by herself?!” I roarat him as we make our way downstairs, taking two steps at a
“It was only an hour. Fuck! An hour. I didn’t think anything would happen. I just headed somewhere for a bit and I came here to see how things were going.”

I suppressed a growl in the back of my throat and shook my head at him. “I’ll meet you at the house,” I say before opening my car door and driving off with Russo trailing behind me.
