Chapter 80. You're Safe Now

MAXIMILIANO

"Did you call him?" I pressed my phone on my ear, waiting for Niccolo to confirm my suspicion. I sat beside Adreana, the soft glow of the nightstand lamp casting a warm ambiance across the room. The sheets crumpled beneath us, and her legs rested on mine, our bare skin cooling as I inhaled her mild scent.

"Enzo? No. Why?" Niccolo replied, his voice on the other end sounding hoarse. "Should I?"

"I dunno."

"You want me to?" he mumbled after a moment of silence.

I cocked my head to my right and pinched the skin between my brows. "Your call."

"Okay."

"Tried calling him a couple times but he's not answering." I glanced outside the windows, the dark curtains partly blocking my view of the fading sunset.

I had no idea why Alodia chose to hide in one of our hotels in Rome. Or if she even knew my family owned it. But, pretty sure Raffaele knew. I bet he'd been lying to his best friend all this time. Just to protect her from Leandro.
