341 Not Tonight Jovani somehow managed to keep the noise down in the room after his announcement. The next time he had the chance, he would take a vacation far away from other people. Alonso might not be invited. He shouldn’t be. The man needed to take his break away from the Vedova Nera boss and far away from anything that could resemble anything work-related. “If you two want to go through with this, you will do it by my rules since this is my residence.” Jovani kept a level tone as he looked…

340 Like Noisy Children “You said you’re looking for someone to have fun with, so why not engage with me? It has been pretty boring since I came here anyways. Something fun could help to take away the boredom.” Jovani’s sour expression only turned more so at the sight of the mercenary standing in the doorway. He dared to lounge against the door frame as though he owned the place. “Cain, you were instructed to stay in the lodging space until I came to talk with you later.” Jovani snipped…

339 Other Ideas Richard paused as he got ready to take away his tray, his head cocked slightly to one side as he processed what Lena said. “You honestly believe that to be the case? Wouldn’t we have heard some rumor of that going around? The man has enough of a reputation no one would hesitate to call it if he came back around.” Surely Richard of all people would’ve heard something considering he used to work with the Vedova Nera man. Unless… 𝑖𝗻𝗻𝑟e𝒶𝗱. 𝒄𝑜𝑚 “Or…

338 Both Cousins Richard leaned back as he tilted his head back to look at the Princess. Soft eyes met hard ones as the two silently stared at each other for a moment. “Would you like to go back inside first and get some of the horrible food this hospital offers? I’m pretty sure that the two of us could do with something to eat, and I’m still not above a free meal.” He didn’t feel the need to wait for Lena to reply as he stood up from the bench after sitting there for a few moments. “I…

337 Stubborn Fools Lena’s jaw clenched. No matter how much she puffed on the pipe, the tension didn’t decrease. Why did everyone have to be such stubborn fools? Common sense seemed to be in short supply around her recently and that only served to make her mood that much worse. Far worse than it was on most days. The princess took a deep drag from the pipe. She didn’t even care that the wind blew the smoke back into her face when she exhaled. In fact, she actually found the smell of tobacco…

336 What About Me Instead? Jovani fixed the woman with a stern look. “Absolutely not. Samuel won’t even know what you’re trying to ask him about, and I’m not having you put in that kind of situation.” The woman paid him no need as she marched past him to come over to the side of the bed Samuel was closest to him. “Oh, please. You don’t need to treat him like a child. I’m sure he’s plenty old enough to answer a few questions and make a decision if I were to ask him about it. He…

335 Can’t I Play With Your Guests? Jovani’s answer wasn’t wrong, but it didn’t give Samuel what he hoped for. It gave him even more questions he wanted to ask the other. Questions he didn’t want to keep be putting off for one reason or another. “How long until this will happen? I know the current situation creates a dilemma, but I imagine there are timeframes and rules to this type of thing.” Jovani nodded his head thoughtfully before he stopped from the bed, cracking his neck before…

334 Similar to Being Initiated Into a Club Except with Blood “What kind of person could be capable of upsetting her more than me? I thought I still held the top spot for that.” The half-joke brought a brief small smile to Samuel’s face. That was more like it! If only Jovani could keep that smile there for longer, it would make everything feel closer to normal than it currently did. “I don’t know the whole story but something to do with her past. I don’t think I should give you the exact…

333 Natural Leader Lena ensured the pipe was still in her jacket pocket before she zipped it up. The hospital wasn’t cold enough for her to need it, but she knew stepping outside would be a different story. “The deal that Richard spoke of? I thought that was one of them that Samuel would take care of.” Did she need to be reminded of that right then and there? Absolutely not. Her uncle bringing it up didn’t make it any better. “That was in the past before all of this took place. Right…

332 Not This “Try one more time.” Lena didn’t shift her gaze off the other as she waited to hear what he would say. Romeo took a moment to compose himself. He raised an arm to wipe the sweat off his brow as an excuse to take a moment longer before speaking again. “There were a total of fifteen thus far. Five of those are the ones who worked closely with us. Nick is one of them. Andro as well. Both of these seemed to be done in some execution-styled manner. He was leaving no mistake that it…
