Chapter 30

They officially rule that Gabe Rossi was responsible for the murder of Rory Farrell. Rory and Wes's father, Beau Farrell, is released from Tazza control and given a hefty sum for his trouble. Word of the strain amongst the Cosa Nostra travels fast. The Mancini family and the Abati family are not pleased with the news that Tazza helped cover up the murder. I have a feeling the Moretti and Corozza family will be getting more allies, and very soon.

The dean lets all of us end the semester early and take our final exams from home due to the fucking trauma of it all.

Sean and Iris Donnelly are coming to pick Imogen and the others up today. I guess they've had quite enough of letting her deal with this on her own. I don't blame them.

I stare at the pack of cigarettes sitting on my dresser but throw them in the trash, grumbling Russian swear words under my breath as I grab a piece of nicotine gum.

"Let's go say bye to your mama," I sigh at Walter as I click on his leash.

He barks excitedly at the mention of Imogen.

We make our way to the small airport on the edge of the island where there is a private jet sitting and waiting.

My eyes go to Imogen, as they always do.

She's standing, surrounded by Sophie, Ariana, Tatiana, Eva, and Hannah.

"We didn't get to throw you the birthday party!" I hear Sophie cry as I approach with the dog.

Walter whines excitedly when he sees Imogen.

The girls all look over when Imogen breaks from the group and immediately gets on her knees to give Walter the love and affection he deserves.

I guess I'm chopped liver.

"Who is a good boy?! Who is my good boy?!" she squeals as he attacks her face with licks. She falls back on her butt, giggling wildly.

She's still got a bruised face and I fucking hate it.

She smiles up at me.

"Hi."

"Hi," I smile back.

She pushes herself off the ground and stands in front of me for a moment. She's about to say something when we're interrupted by the sound of one of the Wolves' trucks approaching. Zane, Leo, Eli, Chase, and Josh climb out.

Josh and Zane are going back to Chicago to be with their girls for the summer. Josh has to spend the next several weeks planning his and Ariana's ridiculously quick wedding, and Zane just simply can't be without Tate that long.

Sophie is going to spend some time with Leo, Hannah, and the Moretti family in Providence.

Meanwhile, Eva and I are heading back to Moscow. Our plane leaves tomorrow morning.

"Eli!" Eva cries, running over to her boyfriend and flinging herself into his arms dramatically. They have another night together before our flight leaves. She's just dramatic like this.

I turn back to Imogen, clearing my throat.

"You all ready to go?" I ask.

She looks up at me sadly.
