Ethan swallowed hard, his hands still gripping the doorframe. He knew exactly what Allesandro Wales was capable of. The man before him had the power to ruin lives with a single decision.
But before Ethan could respond, Allesandro did something unexpected.
He smirked.
"Relax, Ethan," Allesandro said, stepping inside uninvited. "I'm not here to destroy you. Not today, at least."
Ethan exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. "Damn it, Wales. You had me for a second."
Matteo, who stood by the door, stifled a chuckle. Only Allesandro would start a reunion by threatening someone.
Ethan shook his head. "You really thought I'd betray you? Ever is like a little sister to me."
Allesandro's smirk faded. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "I know."
That was the truth.
