Bucket List_6_Italy

Jake Lewis had always had a commanding presence, especially around Emily Moore, whom he had adored over time.

While their connection had always been difficult, shaped by their personal and professional interactions, Jake couldn't ignore the growing affinity.

Jake had done what he thought was best by deploying personnel to keep Emily safe from the shadows as she embarked on her European bucket list tour.

He knew they'd protect her, but he wasn't expecting the reports that started coming in.

Jake's people kept him updated on Emily's location every day. He was particularly surprised by one revelation: Emily had been meeting another man.

She had spent much time in Italy with this man, Antonio Cuevas, so it wasn't a casual encounter.

Jake grew irritated as the thought tore through him. Why did Emily spend so much time with this man, and who was he? Was this more than simply pals getting along?

Days passed, and Jake's mood deteriorated.
