Gabriella.
I suck in a harsh breath as intense worry and anger fills every inch of my body.
“Damiano!” Carlo snaps, the same worry I’m feeling etched onto his face. “What do you hear?”
“I think they just took Gabriella,” I growl as I listen to the sounds of the helicopters fading away.
I’m stunned that someone would even dare to take me on.
Only those closest to me know where the mansion is.
This is an attack by someone I trusted.
I end the call with Dante and dial Emilio’s number.
“I’m almost at the club, boss,” he answers.
“Get every fucking man we have to the mansion. They hit my home.” The words rumble from me as an avalanche of emotions crashes over me.
“Jesus, boss. We’re on our way.”
I end the call, and as I walk out onto the roof, I bring up the group chat for the other heads of the Cosa Nostra.
The moment Angelo’s face appears, I don’t wait for the others to answer and say, “They hit my fucking home.”
“What?” he gasps, shock tightening his features.
Franco, Renzo, and Dario join the call.
“Someone attacked the lake mansion,” I say, the words that are still hard to believe. “I need you. Meet me at the mansion.”
“We’re coming,” Angelo replies, anger brimming in his voice.
As I climb into the helicopter, I bring up Gabriella’s number, and even though I know she won’t answer, I press dial.
The call instantly goes to voicemail, and I dial Gerardo’s number.
As the helicopter lifts into the air, Gerardo’s phone just rings, and desperation pours into my chest.
I start trying one number after the other, but they all either go straight to voicemail or go unanswered.
“I can’t reach anyone,” I growl.
“We’ll be there soon,” Carlos says, but I hear the dread in his voice.
Not soon enough.
We’re already too late.
Someone fucking attacked me. Attacked my home. My women.
Just as I start to process the initial shock, the mansion comes into view, and my heart is ripped from my chest by the devastating sight.
“Christ,” I whisper.
Smoke billows from the right wing, and there’s a huge hole where my suite should be.
My suite.
