CHAPTER 19
DAMIANO
Martinaâs doing something on her laptop in the kitchen when I emerge from the secured room where I left Ale. Her earthy scent is all over my hands, and I resist the urge to take one big inhale before I wash my hands at the sink.
My gut told me sheâd make me fucking crazy. Maybe itâs time I start listening to that particular organ more.
âWhat are you working on?â I ask casually, as if there isnât a half-naked woman currently strung up a dozen feet below us.
Sheâs down there, in pain. The thought of it sends a crawling sensation over my skin.
âNothing,â Martina says.
âHave you found a culinary program yet?â
She shakes her head. âNo.â
I eye her as I dry my hands. She spent four years trying to convince me to let her go abroad for college only for her to scrap that entire plan after her abduction. She was supposed to move to England at the end of the summer. Now, thereâs no chance of that. Mari didnât even fight me on it. She hasnât been herself since she came back. My sisterâs got a gentle heart, and the death of her friend traumatized her, so I know she feels safer staying here with me. But I also know college was a dream of hers.
I keep telling her to find a good online program, but each time, she shrugs me off. Iâm worried. Itâs like sheâs lost her spark. Cooking used to be her favorite thing, but she hasnât made anything since she returned.
I donât know what I can do to help her heal. But making sure that the man who took her is dead feels like a step in the right direction.
I walk over to look at her laptop and steal a piece of cheese off her plate. âLetâs look together.â
âWhat about the woman?â
âMari, forget her, okay?â
She looks down at her hands. âI just⦠Well, she said she could explain. She did help me, Dem.â
âI know she did. But that doesnât mean sheâs guiltless, or that sheâs not still helping whoever took you.â Ale knows whoâs responsible for what happened, but she wonât tell me. If she was innocent and on the run, why would she hold that information back?
Our conversation its interrupted by a knock on the front door. âThatâs probably Ras,â I say.
She nods and folds her laptop under her arm. âIâll be up in my room. Nadia left dinner in the fridge, so I was thinking of warming it up in a bit. Are you going to be here?â
âI donât know. Iâll let you know once I talk with Ras.â
âOkay,â she says. âMaybe we can bring some down to her too. She needs to eat.â
âI suppose she does.â
My sister nods and heads up the stairs.
I unlock the front door with the fingerprint scanner. One look at Rasâs face, and I know he found something.
âTell me,â I say as he steps across the threshold.
He takes a black leather passport case out of the inside pocket of his jacket and hands it to me.
