Assassin's Secret

chapter 24

Enzo's POV

God she is beautiful. So gentle yet so vicious and violent.

I know my back is going to be covered in scars, but I love it.

She left me in the bathroom, I know why. I could have stayed, could have stopped her, but I didn't. I wanted to.

I go to my room to change. I think they will have questions if I walk into a living room with a shirt that's ripped into pieces. Rio and Demarco will laugh, not so sure about Adron and Dante. They both seem protective over her.

Not like she needs protection, her killcount is higher than anyone's in the room and im quite positive she will be able to knock them out.

She is hiding something, I saw it on her face when we left the ball. Something worried her and I don't think it's Akela, she spoke calmly about him, as calmly as she could be, something else happened.

And she was ignoring me on the plane, even in the bathroom something was on her mind.

Does she know?

No, if she did we all would be dead by now, she wouldn't care about our alliance. And how would she know, only 4 people were there that day and none of us are going to talk about it. Especially to her.

Regardless, that's not the priority right now. I need to be ready. The moment they get the location we will need to evacuate our people.

I am not sure whether we should warn civilians. They will just plant it somewhere else, at least this way we will be safe for a little, until Akela will be ready for his next step.

But am I actually willing to sacrifice innocent lives. That's a shitty part of being a capo, making choices like that. Am I willing to sacrifice innocent lives. One or two I'm fine with, but what if the number is in thousands. Will I be able to.

I go back downstairs, Astra is already there, drinking wine, completely unbothered by my presence. Usually women stare at me when I walk in, call me, or try to grab my attention in any possible way, but not her.

No, she pretends like she doesn't care, like she is above it, and maybe she is.

Nex and Rio run into the room.

"We got a problem. A big problem." Rio says.

"Where?" Astra asks.

"Our home..." Nex responds.

New York, they are planning on bombing New York.

One of the most touristy places in the world, population in millions.

Cazzo.

Adron and Dante got up and started making calls right away. I assume warning their people, evacuating them. Father started calling someone as well, probably Gio, we sent him and a few other men to New York a while back.

"When?" Astra asks.

A question all of us forgot to ask, all but her.
