Chapter Ten
“You’re up early,” Adelinasaid.
Massimo looked toward the bed.It was a little after six in the morning.He had an early appointment with Vigo of the Vigo Bratva, who had finally agreed to a meeting.
“I’ve got lots to do today,” he said.“Are you going to be okay here?”
“Yeah, of course I am.Isabella and I plan to hang out by the pool, and then I think Vincent wants another game of charades.He likes playing games.”
He chuckled.“Yeah, he used to play them with Mom and that all stopped after she passed.”
“He must have been so heartbroken.”
“He was.I think he is finally moving on.”
“He told me yesterday he was happy with me and our marriage,” she said.He saw the smile on her lips and chuckled, moving toward her.
“And you were worried?”
“I didn’t want your dad to hate me.”
“My father is not going to hate you.”He cupped her cheek.“I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
“Is everything okay?”Adelina asked.
He nodded.“Everything is fine.”
“You were quiet last night.Something’s bothering you.You can talk to me, you know.I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“Soon.”He kissed her on the lips, and then left the bedroom.Leaving Adelina was the last thing he wanted to do, but he had to get to the bottom of who was the threat against the Russo Mafia.
He was on his way downstairs, and he should have known his father would already be awake, as he stepped out of his office.
“You’re off again so soon?”
“I’ve got that meeting with Vigo.Thank you for setting it up.”
“Come into my office.”
