CARINA

Shouts ring out through the house, further solidifying my fear that Mateo’s, in fact, lost all rational thought. I knew he’s been teetering on the edge of imploding since Vinny died, but I didn’t know it had gotten this bad—this lethal.

Since I’ve been here, Mateo has been very secretive about his thoughts and feelings. The only time I have a fissure of an idea as to what he was feeling was the night he got ahold of that tainted liquor in his room. The same alcohol we’ve yet to approach Camille about.

Where the fuck is Camille? I silently ponder, my eyes rising toward the steps that lead to our rooms. It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen her. Not to say I’m not thankful, because I’d rather not murder someone who truly doesn’t deserve it—no matter how much of a bitch they are to me. But, there’s something about her absence that causes a lot of questions to rise to the surface. Questions I will get the answer to tomorrow.

“You were there!” I hear his pained voice ring out, the sound of pure, heart-wrenching agony bouncing off the walls around me, encompassing me to the point it’s crippling.

“I can explain,” I hear Luca say, but I don’t dare get into the middle of their spat. The devil only knows what would happen if I did that.

“I don’t care about your explanation! You were there. Your goddamn father killed my mother!”

My eyes widen to the size of saucers, my legs shake from their instability. Daniel killed Mrs. Calvetti? I never thought he had it in him to be anything other than my torturer, and now, out of nowhere, I’m finding out he’s the person who killed Mateo’s mother right in front of him.

It’s then the words from earlier resonate within my mind. Luca’s words, spoken so callously, it almost stops my heart inside my chest.

“He did this; put this shit into motion because it was decided you would join the family business. When you were promised to that Calvetti, things started fraying at the seams.”

No … It’s not possible. There’s no way Daniel was one of us. That lousy bastard only had the balls to torture me, because he knew I wouldn’t do anything to retaliate. There’s no way Daniel was a Reap.

“What the fuck was I supposed to do? Huh? During that part of my past, I did everything he wanted me to do. The only thing that damned me—fucked my life—was that I couldn’t take out my mark. You are the very reason I had to hide all these years!”

“Why didn’t you just fucking kill me?! It’d be a lot better than living like this,” Mateo roars.

“You were a goddamn child!” Luca screams back. “I may be a lot of things, but I do not kill children!”

“No, you just make them motherless!”

My mouth falls open as I tread softly to the open front door. Never in my life have I been struck speechless, and it feels like today I’ve been nothing but.
