LUCA

I walked into my study with a few of my men so I could find out what was going on in Palermo and Napoli. Valenzia seemed to be in good spirits this morning, and I had Peter watching her for me.

Initially, I’d had plans on how to proceed next, but when Valenzia’s unexpected virginity presented itself, it’d been a gift too precious to waste. By now, Nazario would be beside himself.

My father and uncles had Viviana to use at their disposal, or at least they’d thought they had. Assuming her loyalty was still with them, they took risks that were too calculated, and it ended up in disaster for them. Nazario had still managed to get to them, and as he began picking them off, one by one, my father had taken matters into his own hands.

He'd loved Viviana and wanted her to be his wife. The life she currently had with her husband had been the one he’d wanted to have with her. When she’d betrayed him for the enemy, he had no choice but to take her out, only he failed because he hadn’t been thinking rationally. Running off half-cocked had ended up costing Andrea his life instead of Viviana hers.

“Is something wrong?” Rossi asked me, and I shook my head.

“No, get Salvador on the line for me.”

I began pacing as I often did when I was a bundle of nerves like I was at the moment. I also sometimes would use sex to calm down my restlessness, and I still might once I got through with business. Valenzia was just outside this office, and surprisingly, in a good mood for once. There was no need to waste it, so after this meeting was done, I would take advantage of it, and of her, as I hopefully grew closer to leaving her with child.

“Don Catalano...Luca...”

“What, yes. I’m here,” I said as Salvador called my name through the speaker. Clearing my throat, I asked, “How are things on the ground there?”

“Giovanni’s in Napoli, and as expected, Nazario is out for blood. His sister works for the Vaccaros at their house, and she’s indicated that he wants to know who you really are and where you’ve come from. A bounty has been placed upon your head.”

“He intends to kill me himself, probably via torture. I’m sorry to have to ruin his plans.”

Some of the other men chuckled nervously, but Salvador did not. “This is serious. He’s serious. Is the Vaccaro puttana worth—"

I growled, “Valenzia’s not a whore. She’s to be my wife and the mother to my children. I don’t want to hear another derogatory word about her, or I’ll be forced to take action. I protect what’s mine even from powers within.”

“No, no. That won’t be necessary. I’ve overstepped. My apologies,” Salvador quickly responded.

“Very well. Let’s get back to business at hand. Do we have an exact number of how many men he’s sent to Palermo?”

I loved this particular home and had it built to withstand attacks from within, but it wasn’t my true base, so I needed to get back to my full-time home.
