“Damn genius.” He gives a huge grin.
“Oh my God, you’re enjoying this. You like watching him dance us around.”
He grins. “I can appreciate a fellow artist.”
I side-eye him. I need to stop underestimating Jace. You can’t live with Gio and not be like him. You either learn from him or realize how much you’re just like him.
“Mm,” I murmur to myself. “I’m watching you. You’re not innocent at all.”
“Har aldrig sagt, at jeg var det,” he says in Danish and winks.
CHAPTER60
Let it Burn
Riccardo
Three and a half years later…
“Yes, I see,”I murmur into the phone.
I flop down into my chair and pull the phone from my ear. I’m not ready, this is too soon. These boys aren’t the crew I need. My grandsons have so much more to learn, and Dario still hasn’t been promoted, but I’m out of time.
Don Barbieri is dead. My protection is gone. I’m going to need to make a move before Giuseppe strikes. My mind races for my next move.
I need to hit somewhere that will cripple them for a while. I pick the phone back up and dial Franky. I need him now.
“Hello.”
“Franky, what do you have for me? I need to know something now.”
“I’m still working, Pop.”
“I’m out of time,” I bellow.
“The finook still has those sex parties. That’s what happens in that club he has. He’s there all the time. That’s the most I have.”
“Fucking useless,” I growl and slam the phone down.
The phone rings, raising my irritation.
“What?” I snarl as I answer.
“You hung up on me. I remembered something else. There’s a Black girl. I think she’s important to Gio. She’s with him more than any of the others.”
“He’s not into girls. What use is this to me?”
“I’m just telling you what I know. Go by the club, see for yourself.”
“I’ll do just that. You be on standby. I might need you.”

Nyla
“I’m so sorry,” I say to the little bundle in my embrace.
I sit in this hospital, nuzzling this tiny baby’s head. I’m filled with so many emotions. She’s gorgeous and motherless.
