Lucas

We walk up the stairs with my father about ten steps ahead of us. Instead of going into my office, he heads to the sitting room attached to the space. I’m sure his plan is the same as mine. We need to know what that message was. Right now, no information is more valuable than that.

Multiple oversized sofas are in the room with a television and kitchenette area, so hopefully, she’ll be comfortable to rest here until we can figure out what’s going on and devise a plan. The curtains are closed, covering the wall of glass that overlooks the club, so the lights aren’t a distraction. The room is soundproofed as well. Walking into the room, my father leans over the back of an oversized chair that faces one of the sofas. I guide Elianna to the sofa and take a seat beside her, holding her hand between my two palms.

For a second or two, we’re all deep in our own thoughts, but there are so many questions, and I’m really not sure where to start. Elianna sighs despondently, and a pensive shimmer exists in the shadows of her eyes. I can’t help but feel bad that my gut instinct may be spot-on. I had a feeling at Matteo’s service something was wrong, but I didn’t know what.

“Cara, I’m sorry this happened and my men didn’t protect you. We will find out who is responsible. You have my word. Can you please tell us now about this message that was delivered?” my father asks.

Elianna hesitates, and I’m not sure why. I don’t think it’s because she doesn’t trust us. It’s like she’s trying to hide something. But why? What’s more valuable than her life? Secrets, in this case, are a threat.

“Principessa, tonight before we walked in this place, I promised to keep you safe. I fucked up and underestimated. It’s not going to happen again, but I need you to give me the whole story and not keep secrets. If you’ve done something, I need to know that too. Nothing is going to happen to you. You have to believe that, no matter what that asshole said,” I vow, hoping that finally this time she’ll believe me. I’m not sure why she should now that one day in she’s hurt. Fuck.

She slowly pulls her hand away from mine, twisting her fingers nervously in her lap. “He told me to stay away from Lucas and used the term ‘we’ as if it weren’t just him. He said he’s watching me.” She pauses.

“Come on, sunshine. What else did he say? That can’t be it. Do you remember?”

She nods. “He said the Nicchi name means nothing anymore, and without my dad and Matteo, no one will protect me. I know there’s obviously a plan to kill me for some reason, but I’m not sure why he didn’t do it tonight. He said it’s not time and only came to deliver the message.” She’s looking very uncomfortable, making me feel bad for interrogating her.
