VINCENZO'S POV
Adriana hadn't come home that evening, but I didn't mind; I had confirmed that she was in Grace's quarters, so I knew they were likely talking, and besides, maybe she could use this time to get used to the woman.
I wanted to see her reaction when I told her about my plans, and just as expected, it was bad. She was totally against it but it was for her own good.
If the Bratva decided to attack, I couldn't afford to be distracted and be thinking about her safety, so to ensure that I could focus on my family and my people, I needed to get that distraction away, and I needed to keep her safe. She wasn't a fighter, she wouldn't last if that Bratva got their hands on her.
They wouldn't just torture her like my father did, they would kill her outright this time. They had, after all, tried to use her once, but it backfired on them, so this time, they wouldn't need her if they were going to attack fully; they would just kill her to get to me.
