I heard the stories about what happened to Giovanna and Lorenzo. I’m an asshole to think this is only about Lily and me.
“It looks like they’ve stopped.” Sebastiano says as he punches in the address into the GPS.
“Is it a house?” Ares asks.
“Yeah, it looks like a house. I’m looking up if it’s a rental.”
“I’m going to park here for a second so we can talk to the others. Let them know what we know and get a quick plan together.”
We stop at in a parking lot and everyone gets out. Sebastiano fills them in on what he found and gives all of them the address.
“The house looks small, that should help us. Are we sure it’s just the two of them?” Zeus asks.
“As far as we know. But there could be more there.”
“Let’s be ready for more of them. And if it’s just the two of them, then great.”
We get a plan together and then head to the house. We’re coming Lily.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Lily
We drive up to a house and they yank us out of the car. When we get inside, they throw us in a room and I hear the door lock.
“Well that’s new. A door that locks on the outside.” Giovanna sighs as she looks around. “Do you know him?”
“His voice is sounding more familiar. But I don’t know who he is.” I burst into tears.
Giovanna comes over to me and hugs me.
“I have a tracker in me. They’ll come for us.” She whispers to me.
I look at her as she’s nodding. I want to ask more questions, but I don’t know if they’re listening to us. So I sit down on the bed and hold Giovanna’s hand. After what seems like hours, we hear the lock click and the door opens. The guy that held the gun to my head comes over to us and stands in front of us.
“I think it’s time you know who I am.” He smiles.
I frown as I stare at him. He’s still smiling at me and I don’t like it. As we watch him, he reaches up by his hairline andstarts to peel his face. It’s taking everything in me not to start screaming. And I feel Giovanna squeezing my hand even tighter. He continues to peel his face. Then he bends over and I see little colored things falling.I’m guessing they’re contacts.
“Fuck that feels better.” He says as he rubs his face. When he stands back up, I’m looking into the face of the man I once loved.
Carson Masters.
I don’t know what to say, all I can do is stare at him.
“What the fuck.” Giovanna says as she stares at him too.
Carson laughs. “Pretty good parlor trick, huh?”
Now he even sounds different, he sounds like the Carson I knew.
“Why are you doing this?” I frown at him. “You left two years ago.”
Carson laughs more as he looks at me. I thought that if I saw him again, I would feel sad or that I missed him. But looking at him now? All I feel is anger.
“I left because you were starting to bore me. I needed to leave for work and I didn’t want to take you. You didn’t even know that I was seeing other women.”
“Wow. And you’re sharing that piece of information now? Do you think that makes you a big man?” Giovanna snaps at him.
