Chapter 27 Why Are You Marrying Him?

Fear was something she had pushed aside the moment Serena stopped answering her calls, her texts, and every other way Anna had tried to reach her. She knew something was wrong, and nothing—not even the dangerous reputation of Adriano, the Mafia lord who Serena had somehow gotten entangled with—was going to stop her from finding her best friend.
• As soon as she reached the front gate, two towering men in black suits blocked her path, their expressions hard and unyielding. Anna squared her shoulders, refusing to be intimidated.
• "I'm here to see Serena," she said, her voice firm but barely concealing the tremor of emotion beneath it.
