Chapter 97
Leonardo De Luca
Sweat pours along my brow and all Iverson my face. That gun is still pointed at the back of Alessia’s skull. She whimpers against the floor with blood dripping down the curve of her face.
The more I look at her, the more 1 feel my blood boiling
But I know if I do anything irrational, Alessia would be shot on the spot.

These last couple of days, I’ve been distracted. Russo included. All we’ve been focused on was this moment with Landon and we’ve kinda completely ignored Alessia
But I thought she’d be safe with Dante. I still hadn’t heard a word from him. Fuck! This is bad. This is fucking had.
My fingers twitch around the trigger on the gun beside my thigh. Mare of Landon men step into the warehouse, guns in hand and ready to fire any moment he signals. We could be dead within seconds but I’m going to do everything in my fucking power to make sure that Alessia is safe.
1 I watched Landon carefully like a hawk. I didn’t take my eyes off him for one second as he began pacing in front of us.
“You thought that you could trick me? I thought you knew me better than that, Lea. I knew your plan all along” He snorts harshly.

My eyes flicked to Alfonso for a moment and I could see the raging fury behind his eyes. both hated with passion.
“You’ve all been too distracted with this silly girl” He gestures to Alessia on the floor. “I have been keeping tabs on her but then I lost her for a while.
That was a good plan to get her a new and secured location, Ell give that to y’all. But then she just had to ruin your perfect plan when she went to that bar with her friend, didn’t she? It’s a good thing that the bar was crawling with my men. It was quite a show you put on.” He said to me, smirking
I find my teeth grinding into each other. “See this is what happens,” he tucked his hand behind his back and walked towards me. “when you woman get to you.”
Russo’s hand shook and I pray he doesn’t do anything stupid. Non Alewia Surely, he should know that.

Mayber Landon was right. Ever since I met Alessia, I’ve changed. My whole world was turned upside down
“You guys weren’t focusing hard on her though” Landon flashes Russo a smirk. “Because it was almost like child’s play to find out where she lives after the inuadent at the bar. Kidnapping her and killing that bodyguard of hers was like taking candy from a baby. I didn’t expect y’all to make it so ray for me though”
I grip my gun tighter, my eyes flicking down to Alessia’s as a man steps over her and straddles her from behind. He presses the barrel of his gan into her skull again. Her whimper is something I know will replay in my head for the rest of my life.
Landon glanced from me to Alfonso and he tuts, the sound echoing off the walls. “And here I thought you genuinely wanted to work with me.
Alfonso’s jaw crunches loudly. “To hell with you.”
“Hmmm” Landon mumbles. That’s a shame because your father had always wanted us to work together, you know. He thought I would be good for you, make you stronger, tougher. But you’ve always been weak, always playing it safe!
Alfonso’s chest heaves and I pray he doesn’t fall for Landon’s taunts.
We all know Alfonso hated his father with passion. Landon might be right. Alfonso sometimes tried to play it safe but that doesn’t necessarily make him weak. It just makes him different. He’s a man who doesn’t thrive off torturing people but somehow, he always gets the job done. He’s a well- respected member of the mafia world.
He’s certainly helped to straighten me out when I went off the rails a couple of times.

The man is a freaking psychopath

“Your plan was a little too simple and I’m even surprised Leonardo went along with it because I know he’d never have planned something sa mundane. But he went along with it anyway. I know you’re weak, Alfonso. You’re such a disappointment in this industry.”
“What do you gucking want?” Alfonso grumbles in his direction.
Landon flashes his eyes toward Alfonso before dragging them over Russo. He pauses for a moment and I think he’s about to say something until his gare finally settles on me.
“Put your gun on the floor. He demands
I don’t mine.
The man jabs the gun into the back of Alessia’s skull and she cries out. I dropped the gun instantly and Landon looked at me with that foul smirk that made my skin crawli
Landon steps even closer to me, enough that I can feel his breath on my face. It makes me grimace but I don’t step back.
“This woman has you wrapped around her little finger, doesn’t she?
My eye twitched but I didn’t look away from him. I tried to push away the image of her lying on the ground, bartered. He’s going to pay for what he did to her, one way or another

Im sure Russo was so fond to find out that

I almost flinched at him but I kept telling myself to keep in line. He wants me to react. So I give him nothing.

“Not going to talk to me, Leo!” He quirks a brow. “I have nothing to say to
Landon’s eyes glistened as he stared at me.
“Well then, I guess I should give you something to say. Kneel and beg for her pathetic life.”
