Carlo

Eight months, three days later...

“Fuck me, the women here are goddamn gorgeous,” Asher said for the one billionth time since we’d landed in Italy. The guy wasn’t wrong.

“You’re not here to see how many women you can bag. Get your head back in the game.” I slid my arm around his shoulders and gave him a side hug.

This boy—this man—had been an integral part of me not losing my shit for the last nine months.

I’d lost count of how many times he, and Nick, and yes—Eve—had brought me back into the land of the living.

With hardly a whisper of information, I was certain Giselle and Dani were gone forever.

And that meant so was I.

There was no way I could think about going on without them. That had not been in the plan.

Even if they weren’t dead—that meant they were being held captive by a madman who was doing God knows what with them.

Both of those thoughts rendered me unable to function.

If it weren’t for those three people—I would have drunk myself to death months ago.

My brother was noticeably absent. I guess I deserved that for tossing him down my stairs.

But he still deserved that tossing by fucking my woman.

I considered us even.

Stefan considered me his mortal enemy.

He did come around to help whenever there was the smallest bit of intel about Giselle.

But other than that—he stayed away from me.

“Yeah, but after we find Giselle and Dani, I’m staying here for a while. Until I get my fill,” Asher said as he smiled at a beautiful, dark-haired woman.

And fuck me if she didn’t grin right back.

Christ.

This boy-man was going to be impossible when he grew up.

“I hope you’re right, man. I hope to fuck that you’re right.” I slapped him on the back and kept an eye out.

The latest news we’d heard through the grapevine was that months ago, Giselle and Dani had been on one of Sergio’s planes.

They said it landed in Italy. We knew a few places Sergio had up here, so we’d sent surveillance. And more eyes.

But no one had seen a damn thing.

No sign of them.

That was the only thing they’d reported.

And that had pissed me right the hell off.
