Chapter 14 Fourteen

• POV Marco:
• I turn the pages of the book without really reading the words. The library is silent, but my mind is a whirlwind of plans and strategies. I've been waiting for almost an hour for Isabella, going over what I know about Antonio Ricci and his operations. Last night I saw him at the celebration, he was stalking Isabella, almost intimidating her with his eyes.
• For some reason, I have begun to hate that bastard more than ever. Instead of helping his daughter out of the danger my father poses to her, he's only exposed her more and more. Families like hers and mine have built empires on secrets, and now I need Isabella to give me his.
