Night had fallen over the villa, and although calm seemed to have settled after the tumultuous events of the previous day, an invisible tension hung in the air. Alessandro had reinforced security, increasing the number of guards and patrols, but it wasn't enough to ease the growing worry inside me. I felt that something unseen was watching us, and this feeling only intensified.
Everything collapsed when we heard a scream from the upper floor. Teresa was rushing down the stairs, her face pale and marked by fear. Her words seemed almost choked by panic: "Mila! In Leo's room!" she cried, her voice trembling and broken.
Without waiting a second, Alessandro and I ran up the stairs, followed by Matteo and other armed men. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would explode in my chest. My breath was short, my vision slightly blurred from the adrenaline. When we reached the door to Leo's room, the scene that greeted us froze my blood.
