Mafia Kings: Massimo: Dark Mafia Romance Series #3

There was an explosion somewhere on the water. It was far enough away that it was faint, but the sound was unmistakable.

My heart froze in my chest when I heard it.

“What happened?” Aurelio asked with a huge grin.

“Oof,” Zollner exhaled as he peered through his rifle scope. “It seems our enemies have drawn first blood. Quite a bit of blood, actually.”

Aurelio’s smirk quickly faded.

Zollner turned to him and smiled with Pollyanna-ish optimism. “At least they were mercenaries, ja? Rent-a-cops – is that the term?”

“Awwww,” I said with fake sympathy. “Did your bad guys bite the big one?”

Aurelio glared at me hatefully as he spoke to Zollner. “When they reach the island… make sure you kill Massimo first.”

My stomach twisted with fear.

“With pleasure,” Zollner giggled as he looked back through his scope.
