ALESSANDRO

If Lorena were here, she’d kill anyone who attempted to hurt me. If she were to see this wound, she be all over me with affection and concern.

For the first time in my life, I felt like my well-being mattered and that I meant the world to someone else.

And now, that someone who made me the center of her world has disappeared, turning mine into darkness.

Damien laughs like a maniac as he kills everyone in his path, their blood soaking him in no time since he likes to do it up close and personal.

A car revs behind us, and I spin around and shoot all four tires. It swerves and hits the side of the building, and then it’s a full-on shoot-out.

My men cover me and manage to kill the ones in the car except for the one we’re here for.

Cesare pushes a bulky man with a buzz cut to his knees in front of me.

Damien’s guards and my other ones are busy eliminating the rest of the Albanians, but I couldn’t give a fuck about them now.
