Rome, Italy - The Gangster

260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UzbqsmfAN
The drive back to the apartment was filled with a tense silence. Mathis gripped the wheel, his mind swirling with unanswered questions. They were running out of time, running out of options. He glanced at Bree, her eyes fixed on the window, the streetlights casting fleeting shadows across her face.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujosgtjrHH
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybMQgXykuQ
He broke the quiet. "Do you have a dress with you?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv1g4q7TZG
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGWkNDhnQt
Bree turned to him, her brow furrowed. "A dress?" Her voice carried a note of disbelief. "What does that have to do with anything?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5xyZ0MhR7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS1CzIWvBu
Mathis allowed a small, knowing smile, though tension still flickered in his eyes. "I have a contact here in Rome. From back when I was undercover."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0smgBntY0
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg3hcpoubS
Her expression shifted to curiosity and suspicion. "Undercover?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dGz0H3fm1
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGLlJ9pzws
"Yeah," he said, the smile fading as he focused on the road. "I had to infiltrate a criminal group operating out of Italy. Made some useful contacts. The people I dealt with have no idea I'm a secret agent. One of them now runs a hotel and restaurant in the city." He paused, letting the memory settle, the weight of old choices pressing down on him. "He might have information we need... if he still remembers me."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnbwmPsOMN
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGdYe8umXS
Bree's eyes narrowed, skepticism clear. "So what's the plan? You charm your way in with this old contact, and I play the distraction?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eeG0OFnxN
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB4HtpzsMg
Mathis shrugged, his tone pragmatic. "Something like that. You'll need to blend in, look like you belong there. These people don't trust outsiders, and we need them to talk."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2BBTpDjLL
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0dglZLg24
She sighed, shaking her head. "I've done this before, you know. Played the role. I'm not just here to look pretty."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsFYx4GI9s
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRMcHEZv7Q
Mathis glanced at her again, his expression softening, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "I know. But it's not just about the role—it's about survival. And right now, we need every edge we can get."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHCgdp319
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1IXVuVVZV
Her gaze flicked back to the window, processing his words. "What kind of people are we dealing with?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2Z5VgmoZ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOZnZnUMGg
Mathis hesitated before answering, the gravity of their mission heavy in the air. "The kind who know how to keep secrets. And the kind who'd rather bury you than let you uncover them."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mLDW1tU0h
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXbGDcXWP
As he pulled up outside a lavish hotel, he felt a familiar mix of excitement and dread. This wasn't just about the mission; it was about her. He wanted to protect Bree, to let her in, but memories of his wife and child haunted him. The thought of losing someone again sent a chill through him.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD88hN0Alj0
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR2xXVMcMV
Leaning down, he shot Bree a wry smile. "If I'm not back in fifteen minutes, I'm probably buried under the foundation somewhere. See you soon."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MuTwKofT5
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Id04g0xR
Bree didn't quite catch the humor but forced a small smile as Mathis disappeared up the steps into the grand hotel. The unease in her chest only deepened.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO1V35WMl5
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5qrP23JiO
Inside, the polished marble and soft murmur of conversation felt surreal. He strode down the long red carpet, unfazed, heading straight for the reception desk. But as he walked, a pang of guilt twisted in his gut. Could he really let Bree get close, knowing the danger surrounding them?
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvD19Ap2BJ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTe3OmrLk
"Good afternoon," he said, offering a polite nod. "I'd like to speak with Vinni Tomaso."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFo1Rihjm1
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrgxn6uO3z
The elegantly dressed receptionist glanced up, her expression a mix of curiosity and skepticism. "Do you have an appointment?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38pwbGejR
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAATUsuvDHk
Mathis flashed a disarming smile. "No, but tell him Mathis Kristensen is here to collect."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsqgVAoXjG
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWHiGvWryf
As he waited, he thought of Bree. She was strong and capable, but he couldn't shake the fear that he was dragging her into a world of pain. It felt selfish to care for her, to allow himself to feel something again. But then he remembered how she had stood by him during the chaos, her determination shining through.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzafabji6Oe
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLIKiHjbjx
The receptionist gestured toward the elevator. "You may head up. Suite 8."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLQ0Z8f9dr
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdcQ3dv0YU
Mathis gave her a charming smile, his heart heavy as he took the lift to the 8th floor. He quickly found the door, greeted by two security guards in suits. "Sorry, sir, we have to check you."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGMXKMx3F
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz3HtvwziB
Mathis opened his jacket and let them confiscate his gun. He exchanged a knowing glance with one guard, silently conveying trust. The door opened, revealing an air of luxury. He walked through a large living room adorned with beautiful paintings and elegant furniture, the scent of expensive tobacco lingering in the air.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQkTo9ptE8
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8FYnQariI
As he approached the glass desk, Vinni turned, a short, round man with sparse hair. His unease was clear as he glanced at Mathis's confiscated gun.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZhMMAZTNQ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QcBAMwt3t
"Are you here to kill me, Mathis?" Vinni asked, raising the gun with mockery.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUfzIFGrlH
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUSGC3nvtw
Mathis remained calm, leaning back in his chair. "No, but you know I'm always ready for the unexpected."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLInS4K23VX
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMiOzxo4nF
Vinni's tension eased slightly, his tone shifting. "Mathis! So nice you're back. All good? Haven't heard from you in years; was sure you were dead."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eilYWQkU2
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGMCsYB16z
Mathis chuckled, though the laugh felt hollow. "No, I'm still around. I'm here to check out a few things—details I can't share, of course. You know how I value professionalism. But something big is going down in the next five days. Heard anything?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhhv4cMiP
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jA6wbjiRg
Vinni leaned back, lighting a cigarette. He took a long drag, letting the smoke curl out of his mouth, his eyes calculating. "Mathis, you know it's bad business for me to share information like that."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMRPX9QQg8
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXdxxtdi6k
He stood, motioning for the guards to leave, then grabbed two crystal glasses from a nearby cabinet. Pouring a generous amount of whiskey into each, he handed one to Mathis. They raised their glasses.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTcEDjQQq5
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5a1lvM75m
"For old times," Vinni said, his tone light but his eyes sharp with calculation.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7EL655I2O
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jeJrj5CP9
Mathis savored the whiskey, the smooth burn grounding him for the moment. "You remember when I helped you rise to power, don't you? Or have you forgotten who handed you control of this place?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUSsOwx55f
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8VVUHzOLk
Vinni's eyes flickered, and he stared down into his glass, the weight of old debts hanging in the air. "I knew you'd come knocking one day, calling in favors. It's only fair, I suppose."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZ5xhAEKa
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qZTfDtUB9
He set the glass down and nodded. "I'll look into it. Come back tonight, and I'll have what you need. But, Mathis..." He glanced over Mathis's casual attire with a smirk. "Find something more... suitable."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9c6hGrnph
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNRMLI2Bt6
Mathis drained his glass and gave a sly smile. "You've got it."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakGXXMh7d7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpo3UNMwAB
As he left the room, a sense of foreboding washed over him. He descended the elevator back to Bree, the pressure of the ticking clock weighing on him. As he slid into the car, he flashed her a grin. "We've been invited back tonight, but apparently, we'll need to up our fashion game."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ82SBG3aw
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YyPnPDKG6
Bree raised an eyebrow, her concern lingering beneath the surface. "Let's hope that's the only thing we have to change."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8fb4Yjzax
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZDaB1oSV
Mathis settled into the car beside Bree, the weight of their earlier conversation still lingering. He glanced over at her, catching her raised eyebrow.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tVBLc2AO
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmCSEchoHA
"So?" she asked, curiosity barely hidden.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlkXyy7JLC
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFM6dTLPil
"We're going back tonight," he said, adjusting his seatbelt. "But we'll need to dress the part. Seems Vinni's expecting a more... refined version of us."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T74596hVv
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUqw6BT7MK
Bree's eyes flashed with interest. "I've been dying for an excuse to wear something other than field gear." She smirked, but the seriousness beneath her playful exterior caught his attention. "You think he's really going to help, or is this just another stall?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ82cdzJEl
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBn5fg0OEg
Mathis considered, the tightness in his chest reminding him of the stakes. "Vinni owes me, but he's still a snake. He'll give us something, but it might come with strings attached."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyDZcuOsoT
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p9l8bj85N
Bree nodded, understanding the unspoken risks. "What's the plan then? Do we just play along?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsiUQCm9Dy
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhOqx6xzB
"For now," Mathis said, his tone colder than before. "We go in, act the part, and see what he gives us. If there's even a whiff of betrayal, we handle it."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhTQfPUQNq
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYKjiqTY9
She gave him a sidelong glance. "Handle it, huh? We're not exactly walking into a den of saints."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vYg7B7dUp
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVgZWaxa2D
Mathis smirked, starting the car. "Good thing we're not saints either."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vH1rvpORs
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9C89NFgf4
Hours later, they stood in front of the grand hotel once more, the façade shimmering under the evening lights. This time, both were dressed to blend in with the high-society crowd—Mathis in a tailored black suit, crisp and sharp, while Bree stunned in a sleek, dark evening dress, her hair pulled back in an elegant twist. They looked the part, but their eyes scanned the surroundings with the vigilance of seasoned agents.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk7OqWGTSK
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBiN3eppaR
The lobby buzzed with chatter, the scent of expensive cologne and polished marble filling the air. As they walked through, the same receptionist glanced up, her cheeks flushing at the sight of Mathis.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdPz95J7G
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6eGTf8hpr
"Mr. Tomaso is expecting you," she said, her voice softer than before.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dk0MOCzch
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h7CSpO4PM
They moved past her, stepping into the elevator in silence. Bree glanced at Mathis, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You clean up nicely."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nD6XeCkqv
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05o6SwHbBq
He gave her a brief smile, though shadows of doubt flickered across his features. "So do you."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcxjZPuLNN
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7l6UOYKV
The elevator dinged, and they stepped out onto the 8th floor. No guards stood at the door—only an open path leading directly to Vinni's suite. They entered the lavish room, the scent of whiskey and smoke still clinging to the air. Vinni was waiting, standing by the glass desk, a smirk on his face as he took them in.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvubmYYwG0
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVCJ31ZFw
"Well, well," Vinni said, clapping his hands together. "You two look like you belong here."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NRXsc7mI
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p8KXsCxJd
Mathis gave him a cool nod, forcing himself to stay focused. "You've got something for us?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQ0Qaetbg
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmyqz324SK
Vinni poured another round of whiskey, but the atmosphere felt heavier this time. He handed them both glasses, and Mathis sensed the tension coiling in the air, a prelude to danger.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ10pvR0G7Q
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQi7Dsu3ju
"I've been hearing things," Vinni began, his voice low. "There's talk about a big meeting. High-profile people, dangerous plans. But if you're expecting me to hand over names, well... that'll cost you."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hKfSV6gEi
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1LZUZddil
Mathis set his glass down, urgency flashing in his eyes. "We're not here to bargain, Vinni. This is bigger than your little empire. You help us now, or you might not have an empire left."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6g30zY3qF
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaybuAsbtzJ
Bree shifted, her sharp gaze fixed on Vinni. "You've had a taste of what they're capable of. We're not just trying to cross them; we're trying to prevent a disaster."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtM4InbUGY
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrt24KE0iU
Vinni's smirk faded, fear flickering across his face. He let out a breath, nodding slowly. "Fine. There's a meeting—secret, high-level. In four days. People you don't want to mess with. High government officials. But I don't have the details yet. You'll need to dig deeper."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IUELptDV4
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxM8iitU3i
"Where?" Bree pressed, her voice steady.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWd6SA4Bvx
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3V3S4O2j9
Vinni hesitated, then gave a small nod. "Rome. Palazzo della Minerva. The whole place has been cordoned off. What have you meddled with?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSXonLsNKo
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zoEAJYmBj
Mathis's eyes narrowed, a chill running down his spine at the revelation. "And who's pulling the strings?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfVjmnPUDA
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSexstJpIfK
Vinni swallowed hard, his voice dropping to a whisper. "The Shadow Front."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcanMuGUF
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXIAoHbXWL
The name hung in the air like a death sentence. Mathis felt a surge of adrenaline as the weight of the revelation pressed down on him. This wasn't just another job—it was a battle against an unseen enemy.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n6H7cvhJ7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9NKVLNeqW
"That's what I thought," he said, his voice low and measured.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1D9WC5kS7
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDmVbUKAU
Vinni shifted uncomfortably. "Look, I don't know much more. I'm just a middleman. But this meeting, it's big. And the people involved... they're not the type you want to cross."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdM9BKasxT
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ggBXpgDcv
Mathis stood up, demeanor sharp and focused. "We're not here to cross anyone. We're here to stop something that could blow up in everyone's face. If you hear anything else, you contact me. No delays."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4V55aSbqy
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcrPuYuEMe
Vinni gave a quick nod, the tension in the room palpable. "I'll do what I can."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC4mqWXJtv
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrHuHgSidq
Bree stood as well, her eyes fixed on Vinni. "Just remember, if this goes sideways, we'll know where to find you."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY92pzSOLfF
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8k8LuWEB3
Vinni's face paled slightly, and he gave a nervous chuckle. "I got it, I got it."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgiofZYM17
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyd7Q93Ggh
As they turned to leave the suite, Mathis felt the weight of their mission. The Shadow Front had just made their move, and now it was a race against time. They stepped into the elevator, silence thick with unspoken thoughts.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EHcNmkUi
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ifRUBvFCH
"We have four days," Mathis said as the doors closed.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE6S6aEizb
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgXtN5Bisd
Bree nodded, seriousness settling in her gaze. "We need to start gathering intel. If this meeting's going down at the Palazzo della Minerva, we'll need a way in."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O3SYukTbP
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDidRvLtdf
Mathis nodded, contemplating their next steps. "We'll pull some strings, but first, we need to figure out who's attending. High-profile government officials... the stakes just got a lot higher."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSA4reffQn
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6rSeaGZl
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Bree glanced at him, her voice dropping to a whisper. "You realize we're walking into a minefield, right?"
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ70cJQ82X
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxSMm7fOl
Mathis gave her a small smile, determination igniting in his chest, though beneath it lay a turmoil he couldn't shake. "Wouldn't be the first time. But before we go, why don't we take the opportunity to enjoy a good meal? We're dressed for the role, and you look fantastic, Bree."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbiWDfFf86
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYjkWxIk7X
Her smile brightened, and she took his hand, warmth flooding through him. But with that warmth came the cold weight of his past, the shadows of loss lurking at the edges of his heart. Could he let himself care for her, knowing how fragile life could be?
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiPHKSMi59
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcdZio1CTz
They found a cozy restaurant nearby, the warm ambiance a stark contrast to the chill of their conversation. Over a candlelit dinner, they shared light-hearted banter, allowing themselves a moment of normalcy amidst the chaos. Bree expertly navigated the menu, her confidence a reminder of her past as an undercover model, and Mathis felt a mix of admiration and fear.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqhdyum8Z3
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6S83bCBp9
As they talked, they overheard snippets of conversation from a nearby table—discussions of politics and recent scandals—that hinted at the pervasive influence of the Shadow Front. Mathis caught Bree's eye, a shared understanding passing between them.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuCFnX3W9L
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztyp4UTWq7
In that moment, he was struck by the realization of what they were up against. Not just a criminal organization, but a shadowy force that could tear them apart at any moment. Could he truly risk letting her into his heart, knowing the danger they faced?
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9NLcheXho
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFI8jIJgec
When they finally exited the restaurant, the cool night air washed over them, refreshing yet foreboding. There was no time to waste. Rome was waiting, and so was the Shadow Front. Mathis's phone buzzed in his pocket—a message from an informant about movement in the underworld.
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKviKenQan
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyvTwWNyyK
"Before we go," he said, checking the message, "let's see if we can pick up any more intel on the way."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobcve5OZiZ
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94r9nwWBDk
Bree nodded, her expression serious. "It's time to move."
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ0M21bj0w
260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMJhXqqevM
They stepped into the night, ready to face whatever awaited them. But as Mathis walked beside Bree, he couldn't shake the feeling that with every step, he was drawing closer to a precipice—a choice between duty and the growing connection he felt for her, a connection that could lead to salvation or devastation.
