Heartless Ending Book 3 of the Heartless Series

Chapter 25 - Departure

Carmela's POV

When we arrived back to the apartment, we had just enough time to see Luca and have dinner with him before we loaded up the car. I gave my most precious possession to the care of Hannah, a woman I barely knew but oddly I trusted that she would look after him wholeheartedly. They were going to be travelling by car and only paying for things with cash, ensuring not to leave a digital foot print. I hugged Luca tightly to my chest and said my goodbyes, I promised him I would see him soon, and all three of us would be a family once were back together. Romeo didn't fail to hear what I had said and promised to Luca, the love I saw in his eyes swelled at that moment, and was greater than anything I've ever seen in him before.

5 cars all with the same licence plate and same looking woman and child left the underground parking lot and each went different ways, to confuse and hopefully lose anyone that might be watching. Hannah had only a phone for emergencies and were never to turn it on unless in direr need. This would alert Trey, a guy Timo knew and trusted back in New York, he would help them if Hannah needed him too. He was instructed to go to Dr Kent only, in a medical emergency but if they couldn't get to him then go to a hospital. The papers Hannah had would all be legitimate and she had enough money for whatever they may need.

"I hope that he will be safe." I said as I watched each car leave the parking lot from my apartment window, even I didn't know which car to follow with my eyes as they all disappeared from view. "They will be fine." Romeo said from the side of me and I rested my head on his outer shoulder. "Did you mean what you said to Luca?" Trepidation was clear in his voice, it was like in a way he didn't want to know the answer but couldn't help himself to ask me. I moved in front of Romeo and looked into his beautiful brown eyes, they shone brightly in the height of the days sun, and I cupped his face in my hands. "I meant every word." I smiled while lowering my hands to rest my palms on his chest, his left hand rested on my hip. The other held something between his thumb and first finger, I looked to the item and back to him. I slightly tilted my left wrist backwards away from his chest and he slid a solid circle onto my ring finger, then dropped the other ring into my hand. I did the same and slid the ring onto his finger and looked back into his eyes. "To you I will forever belong." We said in unison and kissed, sealing our words.

"Woo, you guys are so cute." Giana said breaking into our intimate moment... again. We had amassed quite a gathering to our little moment. "Shall we get going?" I questioned a little flustered by the crowd and was pink in the cheeks. "If you guys need to seal the deal we can wait." She offered. I walked away from Romeo and pushed her towards the front door. "Were leaving now." I declared and everyone filed out and continued down to the parking lot.

We took 2 blacked out SUV's to the air field, using the back entrance we approached Giana's family jet. Her brother questioned her before about what was going on, but she never told him the whole truth, just said she would tell him later. He knew of the deal she and Romeo had made so didn't push her for any more details, but warned Romeo not to double cross his family.

The jet as you can imagine was luxurious inside, the white leather and black furniture were sleek and modern. With the exception of one plush pink oversized cuddle chair that I can only presume is Giana's and sure enough she went straight to it and flopped down into it. That girl was all about the kill but loved soft and cuddly things, the signs of a big heart really. I chuckled at her as I took a seat across from her, Sarah joined us and she too had a smile on her face. "What?" Giana questioned. "The big bad Giana looks so cute in her fluffy pink cuddle chair. Would you like a blanket with that?" We giggled again. "Shut up. And for your information I already have one." She pulled a tab on the opposite side of the chair and covered herself with a hidden blanket, which made us laugh harder. "Not going to lie. That looks so god damn comfortable." I confessed. "Oh it is." Giana said as she got out the covers and sat up. The hostess passed us all a bottle of water and we continued in idol chit chat and resumed getting to know each other a little better. Giana knew loads about myself, too much really, so I tried to steer the conversation to keep on the two of them.
