Chapter 248 Danger Ahead

• Bianca settled into a new routine. Every morning, she spent time at home, sometimes working on St Just’s accounts and those of the Casino from her little room, that had been converted into an office for her.
• Baby Cian, of course, dominated her day, and she worked between breaks, her major time spent playing with her son. if the weather was good, she would wheel him in a pram into the sprawling park, opposite their apartment building. There she walked, observing the people around her, the couples, the joggers, the walkers, the young children and their mothers. It filled her with a sense of peace as she wandered around, always accompanied by Brick and another man, never alone. Sometimes she would sit down on a bench, her hand on her baby’s pram, as she spoke to himself, babbling happily as she observed the sky, the plants, the world around them. Brick hovered around; he took his job seriously and unlike some other bodyguards, he did not check his phone while he was on duty.
• But on that particular Tuesday, as she sat, warming her skin in the sun, her lovely face turned up to soak in the warm, mild autumn sun, Brick approached her.
