Sofia, Luca, and Marco arrived at a secluded hideout, surrounded by dense woods and rolling hills. It was the perfect place to lay low and avoid Alessandro's men.

As they settled in, Sofia couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. They had made it out of the city, and for now, they were safe.

But as she looked around at the rustic cabin and the surrounding woods, Sofia knew that they couldn't stay here forever. They needed a plan to take down Alessandro once and for all.

"Marco, what's the plan?" Sofia asked, her eyes locked on his.

Marco nodded, his expression serious. "We need to gather evidence, Sofia. Enough to take to the authorities and bring Alessandro down."

Sofia nodded, determination coursing through her veins. She was ready to fight back.

As they started making preparations, Sofia realized that she had grown feelings for Luca. She wasn't sure if he felt the same way, but she knew she had to tell him.

"Luca, can I talk to you for a minute?" Sofia asked, her heart racing.

Luca nodded, his eyes curious. "What's up, Sofia?"

Sofia took a deep breath. "I just wanted to say that I really care about you, Luca. And I was wondering if maybe you feel the same way."

Luca's expression softened, and he smiled. "Sofia, I've been wanting to tell you something too. I care about you too."

Sofia's heart soared as Luca took her hand, his eyes locked on hers.
