That woman would be the death of me.

After last night, I had to practically force myself to go to sleep. The little moans and pants that came from her as I fingered her, the way she grinded up against my face, and how she said my name.

All of it left me wanting more.

But I didn't want to overdo it, which is why I decided to go easy on her.

I was the first to wake up and quickly got ready without waking up Alora. Ivano and I needed to discuss what we were going to do now.

Just before I left the room I went over to Alora and placed a soft kiss on her temple, admiring how beautiful she looked. My eyes then went to the marks I made on her neck last night.

"You can sleep a little longer, we still have some time" I whispered out to her before taking my leave, gently shutting the door behind me.

Gabe nodded at me as I walked down the hall and back to the room where we had our last meeting at before Alora woke up.

Ivano was already seated at the table, drinking what smelled to be coffee.

"I was beginning to think I'd have to move this meeting to the afternoon instead" He muttered out as I took a seat on the other side of the table.

"I was busy-" I began.

"Oh I'm well aware. I'm sure everyone could hear the two of you last night" He interrupted. I chuckled at his words as I got comfortable in the seat.

He then looked at me before sliding a phone my way, "What is this-" I asked before I saw the picture of a dead corpse laying on the ground.

What caught me off guard was that the dead body was someone who worked for me... someone that I despised.

It was Ryan.

My sorry excuse of a father.

"The news has spread about your subordinates death. I was sure you hadn't seen it yet with everything that's happening and decided to be the one to let you know" Ivano said.

"It seems that he not only kidnapped a younger girl, but used her as bait for Angelo's woman to show up. He ended up getting shot but survived the surgery, no shocker there. His brother, Luca was the one who finished off Ryan" He added.

I felt as I began to get angry the more I looked at the picture and processed Ivano's words.

The only girl he could have possibly kidnapped for Nina to show up was Hailey.

That sick bastard really went that far...

I couldn't help but scoff before I slid the phone back to him, no longer wanting to look at it. "I wish I would have been there to do the deed instead" I muttered out.

I wanted to make that bastard suffer even more. Instead, he got a quick and easy death.

"Are you aware of Angelo's condition?" I then asked, watching as he nodded his head.

"I managed to get a copy of his report. The bullet was close to hitting his heart, but it managed to penetrate his endocardium. The doctor instructed that he rest, but knowing the guy... I doubt he'll be doing that" He explained.

I leaned back in the seat as I nodded my head, "I agree. He's been shot at ever since he started his business... it would be a shame if he were to die now" I spoke out, Ivano agreeing.
