Chapter 24

Raina called her mother the next day, to get Casey Reyes' number. She was eager to get started on the renovations but didn't want to move forward until she had Casey's blessing.

Vee was concerned that Raina was in Miami with Mateo and took up most of their phone conversation talking about it. She grilled Raina on everything from the moment she was shot in Italy until she arrived in Miami.

In response to Vee's question about Raina's wound, Raina assured her, "I'm feeling better now, but getting shot hurts like a motherfucker."

Vee chuckled her agreement. "Yes, it does."

Vee had been shot in the arm during Nico Garza's takeover attempt on the Venezuela mafia. Though the attempt had been unsuccessful, two men had died and Vee and another woman, Garza's second-in-command and lover, had been hurt.

"How is Miami?" Vee asked tentatively.

"It's good. I haven't been here long and so far I'm on house arrest. Maybe Mateo anticipates trouble as he locks down Miami."
