CHAPTER 21

MATTEO

“Where the fuck is she?”

I hiss as Cesare heads to my side alone and looking so worried I can tell something has happened.

As he fills me in, my anger increases and he’s just lucky we’re in public right now because I’m itching to empty my gun into his head.

“Search this fucking place.” I growl at my soldiers before I storm to the restroom and fling open the door, the squeals of the women inside merely background noise to the rage that’s making my head pound.

I race across to the open window and peer at the street outside and say through gritted teeth. “Cover the entire area. Crack open heads and waste souls until you discover where she went.”

Cesare starts issuing instructions into his phone like bullets and I spin on my heels and head outside, passing through the crowds like a hot knife in butter, focusing on nothing but my need to find my wife.

As we hurry from the building, I race down the steps toward my waiting car and as the door closes behind me, something catches my attention from the corner of my eye that chills my blood.

Mario and Jefferson are deep in a discussion on the sidewalk and don’t appear to have seen me. Almost immediately, Jefferson steps into a car that pulls up and Mario heads back up the steps toward the gala.

Cesare slides in beside me and I point to Jefferson’s car.

“I never knew Jefferson Stevenson was familiar with Mario?”

Cesare seems confused. “What makes you say that?”

I fill him in, and he says thoughtfully, “I’ll do some digging.”

There is something happening I can’t place; it’s surrounding me like a storm waiting to break. Everything that happened tonight swirls around my mind, and I think of Abigail and why she felt the need to run. I’m not proud of my reaction to Diana, but surely, she wasn’t threatened by that. Was it seeing Mario? Is there something I’m missing and there’s more to it than she’s letting on? Then there’s Jefferson. Is he involved in this somehow and was he sent by her father to bring her home? Was it all one big trap they set to bring me down and Abi was the bait that tempted me?

My head hurts as every possible scenario runs through my mind, and I don’t even trust my own instincts right now, so I reach for my phone and text my brothers.
