351 You’re An Absolute Idiot Alonso swallowed thickly as he let the words sink in, considering how he could’ve misheard what the other had just said. His lips moved silently as he worked to form the words that he wanted to say. “Jovani. I must’ve misheard what you just said right now. It sounded as though Marcus’s name slipped out, and I didn’t think we had anything to do with him anymore.” Alonso felt his skin become ice cold. The emotion that overtook him wasn’t fear but rather…

350 Dice 𝒾𝐧𝚗𝙧𝙚𝐚d. 𝗰o𝓶 Samuel paused as he looked down both sides of the hall. This wasn’t as easy as knocking on every door until he found the right one. Samuel didn’t know how enough people at the estate to do that, and the wrong one might tell Jovani what he was up to. Everyone was admirably loyal to the Vedova Nera boss from what Samuel saw thus far. The younger cousin itched for something to do. Why not find out more about the mercenaries Jovani invited in? Emily would…

349 Potential Problems Julian listed without taking his eyes of Zane. A tiny part of him hoped that somehow his brother would magically wake up now that Leo had. A very unlikely event consider Zane’s condition but it never hurt one to hope. The mafioso tapped his fingers on the edge of the seat between his legs as he considered what the other told him. “What exactly are you intending to accomplish by explain all of this to me? I highly doubt you’re only looking for a listening ear.” Richard…

348 Someone Better Than You Lena glanced back over at her brother as she half-listened to what the doctor had to say. She didn’t care much after hearing that Leo couldn’t see. Whether he could get his sight back or not sounded as though it were all based on speculation. Once again, doctors didn’t exactly know what they were talking about. “There are a number of things that we can do to help, it would just make it easier of the family could let us know how they would like to proceed.” The…

347 This Isn’t Your Space Jovani listened as the other continued to speak. Taking a seat at the desk, he picked up one of his favorite knives and examined it closely. “Richard, this isn’t your space to be messing around in. I’m not quite sure what you want to accomplish but what you’re doing won’t work.” A low, unamused chuckle met Jovani’s word. Richard shouldn’t have found it so surprising that the Vedova Nera boss still refused to take him serious. Why should he? Jovani…

346 You’re A pain Jovani wanted to end the call the moment he realized who the person was. Except, they wouldn’t let him. Or rather, they said enough to keep his attention just as his finger hovered over the button to end the call. “Now, don’t be so tetchy. I know that we don’t exactly have the best past between us but I did call for a specific reason. A few things that I think you will be interested in. The princess’s brother woke up, I’m sure you’d like to know that.” Richard…

345 Not You “So what are you wanting to ask me now?” Emily hardly waited for them to be out of the room before popping the question to Jovani whose exasperation remained at a high level. “You’ve been asking me a lot more favors than normal recently.” The Vedova Nera boss didn’t respond as he lead her further away from the bedroom’s door as he fumbled to get his phone out. “I keep asking for so many favors because there’s a lot going on right now. This one is a little bigger than…

344 Blind Lena felt the world shift around her at those words as her full attention turned to the nurse. The woman started somewhat when Lena grabbed her hand. “Can you repeat that once more?” The words came out harsher than she intended as they tried to stick in her throat. Leo? Waking up? The nurse cleared her throat and offered a gentle smile to the princess. “I said that your brother, Leo Scarlet, has begun to regain consciousness. We tried to call you to let you know but-” She ignored…

343 That Doesn’t Concern You Lena almost dropped her phone on the table when it unexpectedly began to vibrate. She’d been far too focused on Richard that the unexpected sensation caught her off-guard. “That would seem like an important call you might want to think about taking.” Richard nodded his head in the direction of the phone as he continued to eat. He’d likely go back to get seconds before he left. Too bad they didn’t allow takeaway in hospitals. Despite the lack of quality, the…

367 Chs 𝒊𝐧𝑛r𝑒𝗮𝐝. 𝐜𝑜𝑚 ADD 342 Call Her Again Jovani tried to cover the laugh that wanted to burst out behind a rough cough. He couldn’t honestly believe what Sammy suggested. His dear younger cousin wouldn’t quite understand what he was volunteering for. “Why not? He’s a Vedova Nera. It would be a good experience for him to gain now before he has to deal with similar situations in the future.” Emily approved without a second thought. First-hand experience was…
