DANTE

“Who?” the Marine replies.

“Cut the shit.” I tell Braxton. “If I know the name, clearly I know who you are working for. And with.”

I don’t.

I got the name from someone I paid a fuck ton of money to, but even he doesn’t know who or what they are.

So I tried my luck.

Braxton runs his fingers along his jaw, a tell that he’s uncomfortable with this conversation. Which tells me I am onto something.

Listen, I’m not a man you can trust. Don’t say anymore. We’re on different sides, Baldassare. Despite me marrying your sister.

Maybe we are. But you and the Dark Kings are going to help me.

“How exactly do you see me helping you?” Braxton asks, still not acknowledging whatever this black ops group is.

I wasn’t expecting him to rub his hands together eagerly, then opening up like the new brother he is and telling me everything.

It would be helpful, but unlikely.

Connor Barrett will be furious, if he’s the money behind all this. It’s still a bit of a guess, but Braxton is looking a little pale and a lot less confident.

“You can start by bringing Gianna home to see her mother. And tell her I want her to attend my wedding.” I suppress my smile, thinking how fucking gorgeous Addy is going to look in a big white dress.

I need to get her a ring. One that shows the world who she is—will be—and that she’s mine.

“To the woman you kidnapped who hasn’t said yes?” Braxton asks.

Well, that didn’t take long for his confidence to return.

Dick.

I wave out my hand. “Semantics. We are g—”

“Boss!” Jono busts through the door and I spin, my heart jackhammering inside my chest. I’m across the space before Nick can get through the door after him.

“Where is she?” I growl, knowing Adelina is gone.

Images of her lying dead, being dragged out by her father’s men, shot...god.

What the fuck happened?

“She’s gone.” Jono holds her dress in his hands. “I don’t know how I missed it.”

The fuck?

I take in the fabric and lift my eyes to him in question.

“She walked out naked?” I frown, confused.

“Boss. Fuck. I went inside the room when she was taking too long and found a woman lying on the ground with the dress draped over her. Adelina must’ve walked right out in front of me.”

She. Did. What?
