Kleia sank into the chair opposite him, her hands trembling as she tried to process his words. "What does he want?"
"He wants control," Vito said simply. "He wants to take what I've built and make it his own. And he is willing to do whatever it takes to get it."
Kleia's stomach churned. "And you think he'll come after us again?"
Vito nodded, his expression grim. "It's a possibility. That's why I've increased security. But Kleia.. I need you to trust me. I wont let him win. I won't let him take you or our kids away from me."
She reached across the desk, taking his hands in hers. " I trust you, Vito. But I need you to promise me something."
" anything" he said without hesitation.
" promise me you won't shut me out again," she said, her voice firm, desperate the tears threatening to fall. " we're in this together Vito whatever happens, I want to know. I want to be by your side."
Vito's grab on her hand thighteneds, his gaze softening. " I promise." he said. " you'll know everything from now on."
