True. But Luca hates me, and his feelings are utterly reciprocated.

Me:

Come on!

Rami:

Mystical, magical word…

Me:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Rami:

Have a nice, short life

Me:

Sorry *poop emoji*

Rami:

Translation… Reluctant apologies from a shitty person. You are lucky I’m in a good mood

Rami:

Should I look at this Doppi fellow as in the killer?

Me:

Or not

Rami:

Okay, I need some time, though. And you owe me now

I fucking do.

I hurriedly stuff the phone inside my panties—making sure the silence mode is on—just as the bedroom door opens.

Luca comes out exuding confidence and pissed-off vibes. He goes to get a slim cigar from his jacket and lights it up. Those huge arms of his easily slide the window open—the one I tried to escape from—then his body turns my way.

If looks could kill, I’d be a bloody, pulpy mess splattered all over thisLegosofa. Leones and Enzinos have been at each other’s throats for decades while pretending to get along. But this? This is personal for wacko here. I can see it in the hard line of his mouth and the tension in his shoulders.

What did Mario do to him? It could be a number of his favorite pastimes: torturing, killing, blackmailing, stealing.

I’m royally fucked.

Luca puts the cigar between his lips and takes a long, slow drag while making his way toward me. He’s wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. With his damp hair falling around his face, he looks like my fucking type: big and rough. Still, he’s a sadistic brute with a blood thirst for Enzinos—and really thick eyebrows. It’s going to be so fucking satisfying to have him beg forit. Turning straight guys ismyfavorite pastime.

I spread my legs slowly and lift the vodka bottle to take another sip. “I’m hungry.”

“Being kidnapped make you feel peckish?” He gives me a cold stare.

“I always feel sneaky.” I shrug.

“Sneaky?”
