Silvia handed the empty tray to the patiently waiting Beta on the other side of the door. He stopped twirling his handgun around a finger when she opened the door, taking the tray from her with a polite nod.
She turned around to focus her full attention on Angelo, he had curled up on a sofa the same way he always did in her office, it made her stomach turn sour.
"Did you fall in love?" She asked in a half-whisper, walking closer.
Angelo looked startled at that, the dark red marks standing out against the pale of his neck. "Love?"
He said the word like he had never thought of it before and it brought some relief to Silvia. If things hadn't gotten that complicated yet, maybe she could still get him back.
Without Angelo's willingness, Nikolai would never let him go. Just the suggestion of leaving had made him hound Angelo like a rabid wolf.
