Chapter 41 : Ammunition and Kevlar

*Jacopo’s POV*

My tires screeched as I peeled into the driveway of the Rossi estate. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on my shoulders. I jumped out of the car and ran toward the front door. When I walked in, my father and a team of our men stood waiting for me.

My father looked at me with worry etched into his face. His voice was a gentle plea as he said, “Jacopo, mio figlio, tell me everything.” I tried to keep my expression stoic as I told him what had happened.

"I killed Francesco and Lucia," I said, my voice hard. "Francesco was wired, Vincent listened to the entire exchange. I rushed back to get to Sophia, but Vincent and his men had already been there. Clarence is dead. Giorgio is hurt, but he'll live. And Sophia," my voice faltered, "Sophia is missing. Vincent took her."
