Luca

"Dad? Are you okay?" I look to the chair my father sits in and see him clawing at his neck. He isn't acting like this because of Ms.Bruna this is something different.

"Leila." He laughs a bit satanic. "Leila Marie Mancini." He scoffs and forcefully slams the picture frame of my mother down. "That cheating b-"

"Don't disrespect her." I cut him off.

"Why? She disrespected me and our marriage, tell me why I can't do the same?" I remember him telling me how she cheated on him and got pregnant by someone else. The baby didn't make it from what I was told.

"She's still your wife and my mother."

"She was also my wife when she slept with another man. Did she respect me then?" I look down because he's right, and there's no excuse for her actions.

"Where is she?"

"Dead." He gets up and goes to his mini bar pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"You're lying."

"Even if I was, I wouldn't let her no where near you again. She's untrustworthy just like Aubrei."

I clench my fist. "Don't bring her into this." He ignores my comment and continues.

"You know about the conversation her and I had at the gala? No, of course you don't. To make a long story short." He takes a huge gulp out of his glass. "She loves her family, as do everyone else but with her it's different. The second I threatened her mother she smiled and spoke these words to me Luca. Do it, but just know when you return to your home, you also will be out of a family. Only a psychopath would say that, especially to someone like me."

I swallow. "Well then, don't threaten her family."

"Don't you think it's weird, weeks later Gianna was killed." I look away and he scoffs, rolling his eyes. "I'm guessing you've already been suspicious of her."

I don't say anything because I have been. I know she isn't Riley, but knows who she is.

"If you don't trust her, kill her." I snap my head in my fathers direction.

"That's your problem. The second you think you got something you go in for the kill, that's why you've made so many mistakes in the past. That's were all your enemies come from. That's why everyone betrays you, you never think. You act on a impulse. Don't worry about my situation. And don't get near Aubrei again." I turn to leave the room.

"It's a kill or be killed world son, you'll understand sooner or later." He leans back into his chair and downs the rest of his drink.

Gianna Bruna.

She had no children but was a mother to my father and I. She was there through every argument and every fight. Cleaning up our cuts and bruises. Talking sense into us.

Now she's gone.

Killed.

Murdered.
