Pov: Seraphina Angela

"Vincent, Attila, and Damien come with me to sector 5," Carter instructs and whispers something to his wife before all the men follow behind him, my gaze traveling to Vince who looks at me over his shoulder and fishes out his necklace. He gives it a small kiss and tucks it back under his shirt, making me melt on the inside. Stay safe, mia luna.

"Ares, Jacqueline, and Leonidas let's go check the entry points," Delilah's instruction follows her husband's and they curtly nod at her, "Wait what about Cara?" I slip in to ask her before she leaves.

Delilah places her palm on my forearm for a small comforting pat. "Enzo and Mattie took her back home so she's away from all this, don't worry Tesoro," she reassures and with that, Arthur bows his head to Lilah in respect before she strides away.

"She is the queen, and a marvelous one, I'd say so myself," Arthur mutters under his breath as he searches his suit for something.

They split up into two while I scan the room for my father or my idiotic sister, that's when Arthur lightly nudges my shoulder, snapping me out of my trance. "Seraphina, come with me," he whispers and I nod, gripping my dagger and following behind him.

He points toward two guards and instructs them to follow us, "Jones and Kent, if you happen to notice the Don of the Italian mafia anywhere, notify me immediately," Arthur speaks in a gruff tone but I manage to catch his words. He's looking for my father.

"Yes sir, we're in search of Lucca Angela, right?" The guard standing on the left clears his throat to ask his boss, the guard who I'm assuming is Kent by the ID tag on his shirt, near his chest.

"Yes, I've briefed the both of you already and his daughter is right here so if there's any confusion she'll be the one pulling the trigger on you fools, not me." Arthur blatantly states and I keep my head down, trying not to laugh at his bluntness.

Kent looks shaken up by his comment but quickly recovers and gives Arthur a curt nod, "Yes sir."

The four of us take a swift turn down the hallway which is a shortcut through the Royal Hall to reach the main entrance. "Are we looking for my dad?" I breathe out uneasily, my mind running a mile a minute at how chaotic of a situation we're caught up in.

"Yes, we are, love. Your dad is who I've been desperately on the lookout for since I arrived in Milan. I need some details of that day from him before I pin my target on Emiliano, this time, for fucking real. I know it's him, I know that bastard is the one that did it all those years ago," Arthur rants but I'm falling behind, in terms of everything at this point. What does he mean Emiliano is the one that did it? Did what? Besides, why would my dad know about it?
