We departed Venice last night after we all returned. It was a perfect day, but now I’m bored again.
Luciano left me a few hours ago to bath whilst he went to check in with his men and work. He said they were making progress finding the person who tried to kill us. I make my way to where I can hear voices. I see Luciano sitting in a room full of computers and monitors with a few guys. On one of the screens is my father’s face….
“Amore?” Luciano says as he sees me standing at the doorway
did this?”
“Is that the man who did
“Yes, his name is Angelo…”
I cut him off. “Angelo Salvatore. 68 years old. His wife is dead and he has three children, Sam, Carlos and Ariana Salvatore…
“You know him?”
“Luciano…we should talk.”
The guys leave the room and Luciano takes my hands and leads me to a chair. I take a deep, calming breath.
“Promise me you will listen to the whole story?”
“Angel you’re scaring me.”
“Luciano, please, just please promise you’ll hear me out completely before you kill
“Amore, I would never…”
“Promise me!”
“I promise.”
“My name is Ariana Lilliana Salvatore and I am the youngest child of Angelo Salvatore.
His eyes blow wide and I feel a hard sting on my cheek before I hear the sound of flesh on flesh as he punches me in the face so hard everything goes black
Tony.
I’m standing outside the door with Luca, unsure of what it is that she knows about Angelo. We stay close, hoping that once they’re finished talking, we will be brought into the loop. Maybe she has information we can use. I hear the distinct sound of someone being hit and a loud thud. Luca and I waste no time rushing into the room.
“WHAT THE FUCK?” I yell, looking at that perfect little lady laid out on the floor. Did Luciano just fucking knock her out?!
“Luciano, what the fuck?!” Luca yells as he runs to put space between him standing over her looking like he might break her neck. I go to her side and take her head in my lap, checking her pulse and eyeing the bruise forming on her cheek.
“She’s his fucking kid! She’s Ariana Salvatore and she’s been fucking lying to me! Working with him, for him, doing his fucking bidding!”
“Did she tell you that’s what she was doing? Lask unconvinced.
“She didn’t fucking have to
Did you listen to her or just knock her the fuck out, man?” Luca says, clearly just as angry and upset about this as I am.
“I don’t have to listen to anyone! I’m Don!‘”

I’ve ordered the yacht to return home. I am fucking livid. She lied to me! How could she do t
[bet Angelo put her u
up to it to fucking kill have the girl bound, gagged and hooded. One of my guys made contact with Angelo’s. After we sent out word we have his daughter it was incredibly easy to get a hold of him. We are to bring her to a warehouse on the understanding that I will stop trying to kill him, he will have his daughter returned to him and he will pay me a large sum of cash. Stupid idiot. I still plan to kill him either way. We reach the location and I have Luca unwillingly take the girl from the trunk with us inside. He thinks I should have listened to her story. What the hell could she have said that would make her being the daughter of my biggest enemy okay?
Two guys around my age stand in the middle of the warehouse, Men surrounding them at a distance. My men lurking in the shadows.
“Where is Angelo?!”
One of them steps forward. “Give us our sister, your money is in the briefcase, and we can go out
go own ways.”
