the traitor among us

Antonio's grip slackened.

Luca had fired right into antonio's shoulder.

Antonio cursed, releasing Elena just long enough for luca to grab her and pull her through the door.

They barely made it into the alley before a black SUV screeched to a stop in front of them.luca shoved Elena inside,climbing in after her just as bullet riddled the car's frame.

"Drive," he ordered.

The tire screeched,and they sped off into the night.

Elena pressed a hand to her chest,trying to steady her breathing."that was close".

Luca glanced at her,his jaw tight."Too close"

She knew what he was thinking.someone was warned antonio.

Someone had betrayed them.

And they were going to find out who.

______

The black SUV sped through the city, weaving through the late-night traffic as Luca’s driver took them to one of his safe houses.

Elena sat in silence, her mind racing. Someone had tipped Antonio off. Someone close.

Luca leaned forward, running a hand through his hair. "We need to find out who betrayed us before Antonio makes his next move."

Elena nodded, glancing out the window. "I have a feeling he won’t wait long."

The car pulled into an underground garage beneath a luxury apartment complex. Luca opened the door and gestured for her to follow.

Inside, the penthouse was sleek and modern, dimly lit with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city skyline.

Luca poured himself a drink, then turned to her. "We need to go through everyone who knew about the casino job. Who had access to that information?"

Elena folded her arms, thinking. "Only a handful of people. Your men. Your hacker. And…" She hesitated.

Luca’s eyes darkened. "And?"

She swallowed. "My old business partner. Marco."

Luca exhaled sharply. "Marco Rinaldi? He’s still in contact with Antonio, isn’t he?"

Elena clenched her fists. "He swore he wasn’t. But if he’s the one who tipped Antonio off…"

Luca set his glass down with a quiet thud. "Then we pay him a visit."

Elena met his gaze, her pulse quickening. Luca wasn’t just a man who talked—he acted.

And together, they would uncover the truth.

The only question was… "Were they ready for what they would find?

The night air was crisp as Luca and Elena pulled up outside a high-end club in the heart of the city. Marco Rinaldi had always been a man who thrived in luxury, and if he had betrayed them, he’d be celebrating here.

Luca’s men had already confirmed Marco was inside, seated in the VIP section, unaware that his world was about to change.

Elena adjusted her sleek black dress, her fingers tightening at the thought of betrayal.she was angry,Marco had been her friend, her business partner. If he had sold them out, she needed to hear it from his own mouth.

Luca glanced at her. "Stay close."

She nodded. "Let’s end this."
