But for now—-
Ezio's phone rang just as he was about to enter the boarding area, and he reluctantly answered the call when he saw Drake's name on his screen.
"You're at the airport, correct?"
The only way the FBI agent would know this was if Drake had managed to put a tracker on him. But even this thought wasn't enough to make him angry.
"You already know the answer—-"
Drake cut him off, saying abruptly, "She's there, Ezio. She fell for one of our traps, and she's there. She's all yours to do whatever you want."
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Some people had a thing for closure, but he had never been one of them. This was the exact reason why he hadn't even wanted to see her go. He just wanted to forget her, dammit. But fate clearly had other plans.
"Where is she?"
Drake gave him her location.
What's this about, God?
Ezio couldn't remember the last time he had spoken to God.
Didn't even know why he was doing it.
Or maybe it was because he had often seenherpraying, and even now, he couldn't make himself think she had been faking it.
So how, God?
How could someone who spent so much time talking toYoube a fucking snake at the same time?
It was a question that he didn't even bother hoping for an answer.
"Ezio?"
But God actually gave him one.
"What are you doing here?"
Because the answer was standing right in front of Ezio.
Since it was his estranged mother, and not his wife, who was the snake.
Fourteen
GIANCARLO AND HIS GRANDMOTHERarrived at the airport just in time to see Ezio's estranged mother taken away in handcuffs.
And standing behind her, rigid and pale-faced, was Ezio himself.
"I'm so sorry,bambino." Potenziana placed a trembling hand against his cheek. "It is not right that you experience this."
Ezio knew his grandmother thought him brokenhearted over his mother's betrayal.
But he wasn't.
Because a part of him had always sensed she was capable of doing this.
And so if anything, it just made him feel he had been so fucking blind, not to have guessed that she could be the snake they had been doing their best to hunt down.
