Chapter 10

• Alessandro' POV
• In a day’s time, I sat on a hired private jet going to Costa Rica for my first assignment for the famiglia. I sat opposite my father, starring at him while he was taking a nap. I looked at him, a fresh wave of hate brewing inside me, and I wished I could pull out the knife in my pocket and stab him. I had spent my hours before the flight looking into Amelia.
• My guess had been right. He had blackmailed Amelia into marrying him. Finding Amelia’s father was easy, and looking into his life was not hard. He was a regular at The Rush, blowing off money on the gambling tables. That had given me a hint of what might have happened. Accessing my father’s books was easy. I would not have trusted his accountant if I were him. He knew nothing about protecting data. I did not break any sweat to hack into his GammaStack and access the bank accounts. Sure enough, Amelia’s father had borrowed money from my father and failed to pay it back. The debt was all of a sudden written off a few days before their wedding. She had been set up and blackmailed. The guilt ate up at me, and I had dug into her personal life. I even had her medical report on my phone, and I had been researching type 1 diabetes since I had gone through her little brother’s medical report too.
