Page 4 of Mafia Billionaire's Surprise Baby

He was the only one who kept the nightmares away.

Despite the fact that he’s wildly attractive, I never asked him for more. Not until I did, anyway.

And he rejected me.

The rejection still burns through me.

But alas. I need to move on. If Elio’s new person is as good as he says he is, I probably don’t have much time before he figures out where I am.

Or why I’m here.

The real reason that I’m lurking around Prague, aside from the fact that it’s pretty convenient as far as hiding places go, is that I have a lead. And that lead is going to help me protect my family.

The family that I need to impress in order to get control of this organization.

And, be taken seriously.

Caterina, my beloved sister-in-law, is pregnant with twins. Clearly, that particular gene runs in the family, but I made a promise to her.

And I want to get it done before the babies arrive.

I promised that I would find her older brother, Marco.

At some point in the chaos of last year, Marco disappeared. I had no idea where he was, and that fact alone was annoyingly suspicious.

I am good at what I do. I am beyond good, I am great.

So the fact that Marco seems to have dropped off the face of the planet?

He’s dead.

When Caterina finds out that he’s dead, she’s going to be inconsolable. If that happens while she’s pregnant with two babies, she could put them at risk.

I need to find out the truth, I need to locate Marco’s body. I need to control the narrative so that when we do find out, I have the ability to help Caterina through her sorrow.

So that she doesn’t break down completely.

Not to mention, if I find out first, I can exact revenge on whoever killed Marco. I’m sure that Dino, their other brother, despite the absolute pack of dicks that he is, would be happy to do that.

I’m under the impression that each of the siblings had a role in their family, much like in ours. Marco, the boss. Sal, the spy. Dino, the muscle.

And Caterina.

Their heart.

Somehow, she’s become our heart too.

I love her, and my niece, and my unborn niece and nephew. I’d do anything to make sure that they get the resolution that they need.

And that Marco gets the justice he deserves.

Prague is my latest lead.

I’m pretty sure that the low-level Irish gangster I tortured last week had some kind of connection here that he didn’t fully grasp. He won’t be talking anytime soon, and I made sure of that, but I’m here on a hunch after he spilled his guts to me.

Literally.

I smirk a little at the memory. He said something about the fact that Prague had some kind of refuge that Marco was also after.
