The Devil

"He's currently stationed on an island near the coast of Italy," Sofia notes as she and Dante work their way around the computers.

"Its known tourist attractions, a bunch of new clubs, apartment complexes, five-star hotels, the place looks like heaven on Earth," Dante points out, eyes widening at the beauty of the island as he scrolled through the pictures the tourists took.

It may look like heaven, but only the real ones know it's just hell disguised as it.

Dominic Volkov bought the Island and turned it into a money-making business. To this day many people from all over the world come to visit it, blind to even notice the illegal processes going on backstage.

If the Italian government only knew what crimes lurked on the streets of the island they would have a grand scandal on their hands.

However, they don't pay much mind to it, since the island brings the country as much money as it does to Volkov.

I must admit even I paid a visit to the island of luxury, and I can't complain. Sat in one of the bars, got a lap dance from a pretty Jamaican, sniffed some candy, and went home happily.

I did, however, pay more attention to detail on what was happening behind closed doors, and that was how I got my first look at Volkov in years.

I saw him make a deal to sell over 160 kilograms of cocaine and ship it overseas for more than 230 thousand US dollars.

Well, this was going to be interesting. A buddy reunion with Dom was not something I was expecting to do. At least not as a married man.

Can't say I believe he's going to be happy to see me after so many years.

Fuck, this was going to brainfuck me, and by the look on Dante's face, it was going to be the same fate for him.

'Should've invited him to the wedding'

A little voice in my head that was coming to be the death of me.

Dom was always the one to hold grudges, but who knows, maybe he got a change of heart. People change, right?

'Dominic Volkov isn't a person of change'

Fuck, there were so many things that could go wrong.

I looked over at Bella who was sitting in the corner of the room staring at an empty spot for the whole half an hour we'd been here.

She seemed out of it for the whole week. I had to make Lorenzo and Sofia go on three jobs without her because of her current state.

You could see there was a lot on her mind, with every new glimpse at her you could see a new worry come to her head.

With trying to find her mother's killer, finding her father, sudden reoccurrence of red roses, all glazed with a layer of grief there was so much on her mind I could feel the air get heavier around her.

I can't blame her, honestly.

The Bride

I fisted my hand and knocked twice on the wooden door before getting a quick 'enter'.

This was my first time entering Rossi's room without the thought of killing him in it.

Well, that's a lie. I still had that thought, it just had to take a backseat for now.

He turned around and tilted his head in curiosity when he saw me.
