“Nero Verdi,” Nicholai says and then laughs. “You reach too far. You will not make it out of the country alive.”

“Who’s going to stop me?” Nero cups his ear. “I don’t hear anything. Oh, wait. That’s because no one is coming. You are all out of allies, Nicholai.”

His teeth clench. “I need no allies. I have an army. My Elite will end you, and your child will be mine.”

Nero punches him in the gut before cupping the back of his neck and speaking into his ear. “Your Elite are dying as we speak. Killed by your own…your best,” he says. “You did make Una quite formidable.” Nero steps back.

“I made her strong. I made her the best…”

“You fucking broke her!” Nero shouts, his cool slipping just a little. I can relate. I can’t remain calm or rational where Anna is involved. We all have our weaknesses. “But you’re right, Nicholai. You made her strong. Strong enough to put an end to you.”

He huffs a laugh. “Una is mine. She will always be what I made her.” A sick grin spreads across his lips. Anyone would think he wants to die. Nero is not a man to provoke.

“You’re about to see what happens when you try and take what’s fucking mine.” Nero nods at Gio who drags Nicholai toward the car. He’s shoved in the back seat with Carlos who trains a pistol on him.

Nero clenches and releases his fists. I bet he wishes he hadn’t promised Una the kill right now. He looks like he wants to tear Nicholai limb from limb with his bare hands. The man did take not only his woman but also his child. I’d say his wrath is well earned.

“I can’t wait to see this,” I say. I’ve always wondered what Una would be like fully unleashed.

I guess I’m about to find out.
