LATER THAT NIGHT...
Later that night, Luca arrived at Romeo's apartment...
He knocked on the door, the sound echoing through the silent hallway. Romeo's heart raced as he approached the door, his mind racing with thoughts. He hesitated for a moment before opening the door.
"Come in," he said, his voice barely above a whisper, as he stepped aside to let Luca enter. Luca strode in, his eyes scanning the room before fixing on Marie, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before moving on to Romeo.
"You don't have to say it," he said, his voice dripping with contempt. Where is my money?"
Marie held out the bag, her hands shaking slightly as she offered it to Luca. "Here is your money," she said, her voice trembling.
