Chapter Sixteen

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE COMMISSION

Aaliyah

I’d spent endless hours trying to uncover what the hell was going on and who was behind it. I immersed myself in the dark web until I came across an encrypted site known as Soldier of Fortune. It was there I uncovered most of the information we needed.

I agreed Dante Messina had a hand in the shipment being seized, but he was not behind the plot to get rid of me, and some of the wives of some of the highest-ranking men in the criminal underworld. He doesn’t have the power or the balls, and not the brains although I couldn’t confirm his hands were totally clean in the plot.

What are the connections between Antonio and these other men? And what the hell does it mean I have to pay for the sins of the father?

Somebody had a death wish going after me and the wives of the heads of the Yakuza, the Bratva, and the Irish mob. It was unheard of. This person was either crazy, had a serious bone to pick with these men, or both. That made whoever it was very unpredictable and dangerous, which made the situation more dire and made me extremely uncomfortable. I hadn’t even revealed the information to Antonio in hopes I could tell him who was behind the plot when I did. My time had run out. There was a contract on my life, as well as three other women.

“How much longer are you planning to work on this Aaliyah?” he asked. “It’s fucking cold in here.”

“The cold helps me think,” I mumbled, continuing to scour the dark web trying to find the person behind the attack on the Rizzo family and the contract on my life.

I had no idea why, but the colder the room, the more info just flowed through me. It had been that way since I was a child. Antonio always complained when I worked in near-freezing temperatures like now.

I glanced at him. “I’m planning on working on this however long it takes, Tony. Someone is threatening you. I’d love to know who and why so I can cut their balls off and shove them down their throats before I put a bullet through their head.”

With a roar of laughter, he threw his head back. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I couldn’t help but smile. This was the first time since Papa Rizzo’s death the old Antonio made an appearance. I missed his laugh and his smile. It had become a rare occurrence to see.

“I know it’s important Aaliyah.” He took my laptop out of my hands then sat it on the bedside table. “All I’m saying is you need to take a break. You’ve been working on this shit since we found out about the shipments and the note.”

My best work was done from the comforts of my bedroom. Whenever some deep digging needed to be done, or breaking into a couple of encrypted mainframes, or hours upon hours of hacking, I liked to be comfortable.
