*Alessandro*
I had been on edge ever since the meeting with Tallon. Although keeping secrets and lying to people wasn’t necessarily a new thing for me, it didn’t make it any less difficult when it came to my right-hand man, Luca. We were meeting for lunch, and I was finding myself struggling to keep from telling him about Tallon’s plan to fake out the inner circle.
Everything in me told me that I could trust Luca, but I couldn’t risk going against what Tallon had told me, and Vinny. I would have been lying if I didn’t admit that it still chafed to have to take orders from my little brother, but I had worked hard over the past many years to prove to Tallon that he didn’t have to worry about my loyalty.
