but I won’t let that stop me.
    My father will probably be pissed when he realizes I have boarded a flight to London. I just need to hear for myself that Uri left because he doesn’t care. I want him to tell me what was so important that he left without a word.
    My sources told me to try Uri’s night club first. He has a number of lofts and homes here. It seems he doesn’t keep to just one of them so here I am sitting in a rented Audi waiting for Uri to show up at his club.
    The place looks popular. There is a ridiculous line outside and I can hear the music pumping. It looks like a posh club to get into. I’ll worry about that when the time comes.
    Almost two hours go by before a car pulls up and Uri’s large frame steps out of it. I would know it was him from a mile away. My heart leaps in my chest much to my own churning, that is until a leggy blonde steps out of the car and wraps herself around his arm.
    Uri places his hand on the small of her back and leans to whisper something in her ear. She is so much taller than I am and much thinner. I am pissed. He left me for this blonde ostrich. My fingers itch for my gun.
    How dare he? I have to count backwards to bring my temper under control. Once I have reined it in I check the mirror. I reapply some lip gloss and smooth a hand over my hair.
    I grab my clutch, having one more glance at the glove compartment where I stashed a gun earlier just in case. I think better of it and step out of the car leaving the gun behind. I pull my hair over one shoulder, standing to my full height in my six inch heels.
    I sashay my way right to the bouncer at the door. I know I am killing in this dress and heels. My makeup is flawless as well. The bouncer gives me the once over, an appreciative look crosses his face as his eyes linger on my breasts and hips.
    I don’t even have to say a word. He opens the red rope and ushers me in. People in line fuss wanting to know who I am but I am already inside and on a mission to find that prick Uri.
    I push my way through the crowd and spot him in a raised booth seated with the blonde and a few other women. Uri looks distracted as the women pour champagne and fawn over him. I feel the bowel rise in my throat. I should have brought my gun.

    It is done. Toni Vito has seen his last sunset. Right now his eyeballs are gift wrapped in a decorative chrome box heading to Don Caprisi. I made it a slow death. An hour for every year my Bella Donna has gone without her mum and sister.
    I placed him in front of a mirror to watch as I tortured him, the way Valentina had to watch her family being taken from her. Only then did I relieve him of his eyes while he still screamed as best he could.
    As usual I am wound tight after a kill. A workout or sex is my preferred tension relievers, but I have too much going on in my head to surrender to the burn of a workout. As for the latter, the one woman I want to be buried balls deep in is across a bloody ocean.
    I invited Penelope out because I thought she’d be a right distraction. I’ve given her a good shagging in the past and she hasn’t become clingy. Only, the moment she stepped into the car I wanted to drop her back off.
    Her voice is like nails to a chalkboard tonight. Funny I don’t remember her being so rail thin. She also needs to lay off the cigarettes. It’s a nasty habit and her breath has been quite rank tonight.
    The rest of these birds that have flocked around me are just pushing my fraying nerves to the edge. It has only been three days and I yearn to see Valentina like I have never yearned for a woman before. I would have been on a plane on my way back to her already but the family has made a request that I cannot deny.
    I haven’t become a wealthy man from being stupid. I know how and when to play the game. Right now I have to take care of some business and then I will return to the States to collect what is mine.
    Penelope tries to whisper something in my ear, which causes me to shift away
