Chapter 88. The Walking Dead

Maverick POV

“How could he hurt her? I thought he loved her?” I felt so bad for Celestina. I saw the deep pain and sorrow in her eyes.

I wished I could do something to save her, but I knew it would not be easy without men to help us take back the compound. I couldn’t fathom how scared she must have been to the man to whom she gave her trust.

“I don’t know, baby. Maybe it was his plan all these years to make her fall in love with him so he could take over Siciliano’s businesses. Gaetano is more powerful than his father. Without Terzo in the equation, he can take over the Don of two crime families.” Lake tightened his grip around mine as our vehicle entered the huge villa at the top of the hill after detours.

What amazed me the most was the view of the ocean. It was magnificent.

“What if he’s the one who tipped the authority about Terzo?”

He looked at me as if my words made sense. “Son of a bitch, and we just walked into the trap.”<
