Page 2 of Mafia Boss's Fake Fiancée

Still, she’s an innocent person in all this and isn’t in any way related to the mafia, so there’s no way Enzo and I will let anything happen to her.

“Enzo!” I rush to him and wrap my arms tightly around him.

Then I glance over my shoulder. Why do I have a feeling someone’s watching us? Maybe it’s just because I’m worried Cesare will figure us out.

“Are you okay?” he asks.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” I pull the piece of paper with all the info and offer it to him. “This is the address of the place where he’s keeping her. I also wrote down the number of the guys you can hire to come with you because you’re going to need backup. Those guys are very good and only loyal to the person who pays them.”

“Thank you,” he says as he takes the paper.

“Just don’t kill Cesare. Please. It’s all I’m asking. As fewer deaths as possible.” I don’t know what’s up with Cesare, but I don’t want him to die.

He’s my brother. Whatever he’s doing, he needs to realize it’s wrong. Maybe it’s stupid to hope for that, but I can’t help it. I don’t want anyone to die, especially for no good reason.

“I’ll do what I can. You know me,” Enzo says.

“I do, and that’s why I risked everything to sneak out of the house and come here.” If Cesare finds out about this, I’m screwed.

Stealing his information, sneaking out of the house, and going to Enzo... Judging by how Cesare has been behaving lately, he’s likely going to put a bullet in me.

But it’s not just that. If he finds out now, everything will fall through. The woman he kidnapped could end up dead. I don’t want that.

Enzo tenses, and the sensation of being watching gets stronger. I glance over my shoulder, and a shudder runs through me.

Someone’s standing there, in the shadows. And then he steps into the light.

“Shit!” I say. “That’s that asshole! Salvatore Carducci.”

“Cesare’s best friend?” Enzo asks.

“Cesare’s only friend.”

Enzo steps forward, but I get in his way and place my hand on his chest to stop him.

“No. I’ll go handle that idiot, and you go save your girlfriend, okay?”

“Are you sure? If Cesare finds out—” His bewildered eyes search mine.

“I know what’s at stake. I got this.” I give him a quick kiss on the cheek and break into a run.

My heart thuds loudly in my chest. If I don’t convince Salvatore to keep his mouth shut, Enzo and I will be in a whole lot of trouble.

Can I do that? I guess we’re about to find out.

Enzo is counting on me, and I have no intention of failing him, even if I have to strangle Salvatore with my own bare hands. I’m usually against killing anyone, but Salvatore...

I’d make an exception for him.

He’s an asshole, and I can’t stand him. Never could, from the moment I met him at school. The moment his lips spread into a smile, I already know I want to punch him in his stupid, handsome face.

CHAPTER2

Adriana

“Adriana,I didn’t expect to run into you here. In the shadows.” Salvatore cocks his head at me, curiosity sparkling in his dark brown eyes. “What are you doing?”

“Taking a walk. What the fuck do you care?” I snap, eyeing him carefully.
