Chapter 23 Desire On Fire

• GIULLIA SANTORI’S POV
• I ended up falling asleep, and that was good to calm me down. The staff brought me a meal in the room, and then I went back to sleep.
• When I woke up again, it was already night, and still no news of Vittorio. I got out of bed, stretched my body, and headed to the balcony. The house was illuminated, and I watched the lawn until I spotted Vittorio talking to three men. He brought a cigarette to his lips, taking a drag effortlessly. I noticed that they were having a serious conversation, and I deduced they were discussing business.
