But then, she saw who had stepped into the room.They were not soldiers.Right before her was Massimo Salvatore.Her husband.
He pulled out a gun but he was not aiming for her.She ran into his arms, and he caught her as he fired his weapon.
Vincent was there as well.
Isabella had gone to them, and Adelina held onto her husband as the soldiers came down.
Massimo held her tightly, and when she didn’t think the noise could get any worse, it was like chaos erupted in the motel.She heard the screams as Russo soldiers descended on the motel.
“What’s going on?”she asked.
She looked up toward Massimo, as he glanced around.
“The Russo Mafia, they’re here.”
“I told them,” Vincent said.“You think we were going to take out Diego and not make Russo aware of what was happening right under his nose?Fucking hell, no.That shit is not happening.Diego is going to get what is coming to him.”
Massimo cupped her cheeks.“I’ve got to deal with this.”
“But—”
He kissed her, and then pressed his lips against her ear.“I love you, Adelina Salvatore.You own my heart.I’ve got to do this, but I promise you, I am coming back to you.”
Adelina watched him go, and then she was being pulled out of the motel by Vincent.She couldn’t believe what was happening.
Life just moved in fast motion, while she was still reeling from the revelation that Massimo loved her.She wished she hadn’t been so shocked and told him she loved him as well.
Chapter Twelve
Diego Bruno had beenworking with the Ricardos in an attempt to overthrow the Russo Mafia for several years.
Russo had been aware of Diego’s betrayal, but wanted to see how it played out.The moment the men who were tailing Diego realized he had kidnapped Massimo’s wife, the plan to reveal the truth about Diego had come forward.
Lily-Mae had also been working for Russo.When she realized what her family were up to, she’d been an inside informant.It didn’t change the fact she was a spiteful bitch, but at least her loyalties were in the right place, and that was all that mattered.
Once Russo had taken complete control of the motel, he had given Diego to him.There was no way he was going to let the Russo Monster not have his justice in Diego taking his wife.And so, that is exactly what he had done.
