One bullet right to Massimo’s head. He now lay slumped in his chair, the single wound releasing a steady flow of blood.
As quickly as Vinny unloaded his weapon into Massimo, Lucian shot one perfect round into Vinny. He dropped to the floor before he could shoot anymore bullets.
Screams rang out from above them, likely Massimo’s wife.
Lucian didn’t give a fuck.
His work here was done.
Chapter Twenty-Five
“Adelina.” Theo called. He was angry.
He was always angry these days.
He was under pressure, he would tell her.
She continued to walk away from him, back toward the house. Theo’s parents were gone for the night and he had asked her to come over.
Theo found her acceptance letter to UCLA on her desk, and the fumes had been rising ever since.
She wasn’t to leave Providence.
She wasn’t to go to college.
She was supposed to be the perfect housewife, and she just wasn’t.
So now he was angry at her, because he left bruises on her arm.
She told him she wanted to go home then, which only made him angrier.
He did everything for her.
He paid for everything.
Made sure she was cared for.
Made sure she was protected.
At least that’s what he said to her.
She walked away from him, which was a mistake. Because Theo hated not having the last word.
He slammed the door when he entered the house behind her.
“You little bitch.” He shouted.
One punch to her gut.
Another hit her shoulder.
A slap to her face.
And another for good measure.
Another punch took her to the floor.
His foot kicked her arm.
