“I didn’t know!” Michael erupted.
“You expect me to believe that?” Vasiliev sneered.
“You know how it works! I don’t ask questions; I get the job done. I had no idea I was recruiting men for Gaetano to make a hit on her. She was like a mother to me. I’ve been trying to find out who was after them, which led me to this condition. Gaetano found me snooping around and tried to get rid of me when I found out.” Michael explained, and Vasiliev stared at him with cold eyes before finally letting him go.
“I’m an orphan. Jacinta took me in as her own when my parents didn’t care enough about me and left me to fend for myself as a kid. I know the importance of family. Althaia, Cara, and Jacinta—they’re my only family. If I knew, I would have done everything I could to stop him.” He looked pained as he talked.
“What’s the plan? I want in. I want my hands on that filthy dog.” Vasiliev said, locking eyes with me.
“I don’t need your help.” I scoffed.
“You owe me a favor.” He retorted, and I frowned.
“I don’t owe you shit.” I spat out.
“But you do. I delivered Althaia safely to you at the LuxePalace, didn’t I?” Vasiliev smirked.
My frown deepened, and I was about to tell him to fuck off when Michael spoke.
“Gaetano wouldn’t see it coming. We’ll catch him off guard and get them out of there sooner.”
“And how would you know?” I asked. Michael pulled out a flash drive.
“Everything you need to know is here. I knew I would get caught and managed to download everything. It’s the location, blueprint of the building, and whatever traps he has set up in the area.”
I snatched the flash drive from his hand and tossed it to Raffaele.
“You better be telling the truth.” I warned him.
“I am.” He said, and I stared him down while I waited for Raffaele to check everything.
“Everything is clear. It matches what we already have found out. One problem though.”
“What?” I gritted my teeth. My patience had already run up, and I was one second away from shooting the entire place up in frustration.
“Cameras are everywhere, and Ghost is most likely the one controlling them.”
My entire body tensed. It meant it would take too much time for Raffaele and Ava to figure out how to get control over the cameras. And we didn’t have the fucking time.
“Ah, Ghost. He is very good. Even I couldn’t get my hands on him.” Vasiliev commented.
“I can help with that. I know Ghost.” Michael spoke.
“You know him?” I raised a brow.
“I know her. We go way back, and I was the one who got Gaetano a deal. I didn’t know she was still working with him.”
“Wait, Ghost is a fucking woman?!” Raffaele erupted in shock and Michael nodded.
“Yes. Can you get me a secure line? I will get in touch with her and see what I can do. She owes me a few favors.”
“Listen up. This is what we’re going to do now.” I said, coming up with an idea.
After looking through what Michael had managed to get on his flash drive, it gave me the perfect advantage of preparing logistics, and we would get Althaia and Cara out there faster than planned in the first place.
Time was running out, and there was no time to argue with Vasiliev about keeping his distance. We efficiently prepared everything and informed everyone about the impending operation.
For the first time in history, Italians and Russians were working together, all united by a common purpose—the women in our lives.
