Chapter 156 – Daphne POV

Tensions aren't rising anymore.

They've already exploded.

Now we're just sitting in the fallout, pretending there's still a table between us and not a war.

Luciano's voice is the match this time.

"We should get rid of them all," he growls, slamming his hand on the table. The wood groans under the force.

"Burn them out. Every last one."

I pinch the bridge of my nose, fighting the throb blooming behind my eyes.

"This isn't the fucking '80s anymore," I say tightly.

"You want to leave a trail of bodies across the city? What next? Print Castellano calling cards and leave them on the corpses?"

He glares at me. "Then what the fuck are we supposed to do?"

"That's the purpose of this meeting, isn't it?" I snap, letting the full weight of my fury bleed into my voice.
