Iwatch as Luca and Levi leave together before I storm out of the kitchen. I can’t even keep my anger at bay long enough to think clearly because all I see is red. Once again, Enzo is overstepping. He just doesn’t know when to fucking quit it and it’s starting to really piss me off. The guy just can’t accept that our dynamic has shifted. He’s not my second, he’s not in charge. I am. And he’s jeopardizing that by stowing Don Verdi in my fucking basement.

Storming through the house, I locate Enzo in the courtyard, walking the doctor to his car. I wait until the taillights are a blur in the distance before I march over to confront him.

He spins around as soon as he hears my heels clipping the concrete, his brows knitting together.

And before I can even think about what I’m doing, I crack my palm across his face, knocking his cigarette from his lips.

Pain radiates through my hand and wrist, but I ignore the ache over the satisfaction of seeing Enzo’s shocked face. “What the fuck were you thinking?!” I scream at him, my face flaring with heat.

He palms his cheek, rubbing the mark I’ve definitely left on his skin. Good. I want him to remember this; remember my anger, my fury. Remember that I am in charge.

“I was thinking that I was doing you a favor,” he answers smugly.

“A favor?” I screech. “You know the Elders are going to investigate me for this!”

Enzo rolls his eyes. “Like they investigated the Verdis when they attacked you four months ago?”

My fists clench.

“Or the time they ran you off the road?”

My jaw tightens.

“Or what about when—”

“Okay! I get it!” I scream.

There’s a long pause where Enzo sighs and I stand like a furious statue, considering whether I’d be able to get another hit in. Despite his beautiful face, I wouldn’t mind giving him a black eye just for his insolence because Bianchi is nobody’s bitch. I make the decisions around here and he just stomped all over them.

“You want to find Gio’s daughter, right?” He reminds me and it gets on my last damn nerve.

I huff a sigh because yes, he’s right. We have no idea how to locate Gabriella, and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a lost cause. But that doesn’t excuse his behavior. I haven’t forgotten about the way he spoke to me earlier, snapping at me like I was the nuisance. I’d be in my right mind to stick in his own makeshift dungeon, maybe have Luca inflict some pain on him just for the fun of it.

“You kidnapped the head of another family,” I growl.

“And?” He shrugs like my point doesn’t even make sense. “It was only a few weeks ago that Luciano was about to—” he cuts himself off, chest rising and falling so fast that I can see that memory still haunts him as much as it does me. It takes everything in me not to snap at him, instead taking a deep breath and refocusing my energy.
