side, and Family obeyed, stumbling toward him. She trusted Matteo's judgment, but
worry for her friend clouded her thoughts. Despite the fear gnawing at her, she knew this wasn't the time to act irrationally. She had to remain calm and think strategically if they were going to get Aria out of this alive,
"Now let me go, or be ready to see your wife dead, Rafael taunted, his voice lacing with hostility. He was smart, freeing one woman to shift the negotiations to his advantage. He knew that the moment he released Aria, Alessandro's bullet would be his end. Alessandro exchanged a brief, silent glance with Matted. Their eyes spoke volumes, their unspoken understanding clear. Matteo knew that Rafael, though dangerous, couldn't afford to kill Aria-
she was his only bargaining chip, the key to keeping him alive. He nodded slightly, signaling his agreement.
"Alright," Alessandro said, his voice low and controlled, masking the fury bubbling beneath. "We'll give you a way out, but remember this-
hurt my wife, and no one will be able to save you. No matter where you hide, whether it's in hell itself, I will come for you and tear your soul from your body." His words were a chilling promise, made with cold certainty.
"You're helpless, but still had the
audacity to threaten me, huh?"
Rafael chuckled, a smug grin on his face. Hegestured for his men to pick up all the guns scattered on the floor. "Get out of my way," he ordered, rushing toward the exit, his men following close behind.
Alessandro and Matteo stood frozen, watching them leave, feeling completely powerless. The weight of the situation hung in the air, their eyes tracking every movement, knowing they were helpless to stop it.
Once they heard the sound of them leaving the building, followed by a few distant gunshots, Alessandro and Matteo rushed outside. They found that Rafael and his men had shot out the tires of their cars, leaving them useless.
"Shit!" Matteo muttered, frustration evident in his voice. Meanwhile, Alessandro and Lucas were already on their phones and immediately began making calls.
But Rafael was thrilled to take Alessandro's wife with him. "So, bambina, now you're mine," he taunted, a smug grin spreading across his face. "I've won you from your husband. He couldn't even save you." He laughed, the sound bitter and cruel, making Aria's stomach turn with disgust. She knew that Alessandro hadn't acted yet for a reason-there was something more to it, and that's why she didn't protest. She trusted him completely. She had seen the fear in Rafael's eyes, the fear that her husband was the true danger here.
"Where to, Don?" a voice came from the driver's seat, making Aria's heart leap with hope. It was then that she understood what had truly happened. Her husband was a genius, a master strategist. This was why he was worthy of the power he commanded, and she knew in that moment he had everything under control.
