Chapter 283 : Everything Goes Wrong

*Giovani*

I shut the front door behind me, pausing for a moment with my hand on the doorknob. I clenched it tightly, unwilling to let go.

But I spotted Gabriele’s car sitting in the driveway, rumbling with life as Gabriele and Tallon waited for me. With one last sigh, I let go of the door, locking it firmly behind me.

“Keep her safe.” I glanced at Elio and Marco, who stood by the door patiently. They both nodded to me as I passed by, making my way to the car.

I couldn’t get the image of her trembling before me out of my mind, the way she had looked so horrified as she held the gun to my chest.

It was a bluff, to be honest, a last resort when I’d handed Olivia my gun and told her to shoot me. Not for a single second did I think she had it in her to actually shoot. Even if she did, I doubted she knew how to handle a gun.
