When I get to the boutique, Gio and Rome are already there, grim expressions on their faces. I shoulder past them, heading straight for the wide-eyed woman at the register.

“Security footage, now.”

Her face pales and she stumbles back, nodding frantically. I turn to Gio and Rome.

“Where is he?”

Rome nods his head to the side, at Nico, one of the two idiots who let my wife out of the SUV without my permission. The instructions were clear, she stays in the vehicle at all times surrounded. Nothing less.

I stalk toward him, intent on ripping his spine clean from his body, but Gio gets in the way, blocking me.

“Not here. Asteria. Answers. Focus, Azriel.”

My nostrils flare. My clasp on my knife loosens and I expel a sharp breath. Marching toward the idiot, he blanches when he sees me coming, expecting the worst.

“Start talking.”

“Your wife asked me to drive her to pick up a gift, as you know. I had her stay in the car with Davide while I went in. There was nothing strange. We drove off and she wanted to stop here.” I glance around at the baby items and my stomach tightens. “We told her it wasn’t a good idea, but she kept asking and…”

“And what?” I snap.

He sighs. “We disobeyed your orders and let her out of the vehicle. Davide stayed outside patrolling with the other soldiers, and I went in with her. When I didn’t see Davide or anyone else out front anymore, I went out to check. They were dead and no one else was around. By the time I went back in, she was gone.”

My hands curl into fists at my sides.

The violence, the anger that’s thrumming through me is so fierce, so strong it blurs the edges of my vision.

“Boss.” I turn at the sound of Romeo’s voice. The woman stands behind him fidgeting.

“The cameras aren’t great. I apologize.”

“Show me.”

Leading me into the back office, she shows the footage. My blood runs cold when I spot Mateo close in on his daughter. The surveillance doesn’t have audio, but by the mannerisms the conversation looks harmless. That is until he grabs my wife and presses a cloth over her face.

My heart pinches in a vise as I watch her struggle. Her arms flail and she kicks her legs until slowly there’s no movement at all.

A growl works its way up my throat when he hauls her into his arms and disappears from view.

“This is all you have?”

She nods. Fear in her eyes. “I’m sorry. We can’t afford more cameras.”

“Where the hell were you?” Romeo snaps, eyes like daggers.

She trembles. “I…I was at the register on my phone. I didn’t…I didn’t know. I’m so sorry.”

Looking back at the stilled footage, I glance behind me, toward the aisles, and march toward the last section my wife was seen. Surely enough, on the floor rests a box and a handful of baby items. Dropping to my haunches, I bend, picking up the small onesie. It’s blue and black and red with little anchors all over it.
