Chapter Eleven: A Lit Rocket

Romeo

I watched as Julianna hurried away. I knew for sure something was bothering her. She almost ran into Zia then they both went into the kitchen. I decided to wait for a bit before going after her. Zia was a miracle worker when it came to trouble or disagreements. The only time she ever failed in that was when Gio…Legend left. Not that she didn’t try to prevent it. She stood by the concept that the Descalia sons deserved the right to choose their own paths in life. But our father wouldn’t listen. I wondered lately, if he would listen now? He’d lost Legend for almost ten years.

My gaze again wandered to the kitchen door. I worried about where Julianna’s sudden nervousness had come from. She seemed a little upset after my father talked about Luca being out, looking for this V woman. Pausing, I tried to think if she had ever met Luca? Was he the problem? He hadn’t been there whenever she and I went to the corporate offices. He didn’t frequent Mancini’s estate either. None of us did except for holidays. The exception had been Julianna and I visiting there several times in the last few weeks to talk to Alberto about contracts he had with several companies. Just contractual law really. However, as far as I knew, she had never met Luca.

“When we finish with breakfast,” my father spoke up loudly so everyone could hear, “We all need to assemble in the den again. We have some intel, so we need to finish our plan for this exchange or should I say, the non-exchange.”

“You mean the bait and switch?” Dante asked with a grin.

“We can meet up in the study in two hours.” Then he looked over at Talon. “Is that alright?”

Talon nodded.

I sipped my coffee and realized I’d let it go cold. Setting the cup down, I finally stood and left the table. I wanted to have that time to talk to Julianna. Headed to the kitchen, I paused when my dad called to me.

I turned and stepped over to where he sat.

He looked up at me and asked, “Did you do something to upset my consigliere?”

Yeah, Stephano never missed a thing. I shook my head and replied honestly, “Not that I know of.”

“We need her,” he said. “I don’t want her to quit on us.”

I stared at him. “I don’t think she—”

“No, you didn’t think first, before you went after her. I didn’t object when I realized you wanted her, because I believed she wouldn’t give in to your charm, but I was wrong.” He tossed his hands up. “What about it though? You are a Descalia. Of course, she was charmed. I did my homework on her like I do all of our people and she has no blemishes as far as affairs and the like.”

I glared at him and retorted, “This is not a blemish or an affair.” I stepped close and leaned down a bit to add, “I love this woman, Papa.
