Chapter 28: Phone call

Luca's mood turned dark, so their plan of having dinner outside was canceled.

"Who was that guy?" Juliette asked Dante on their way back to the car.

"He's the son of Romano's rival but soon to be an ally."

'Everything is looking so suspicious. I guess, there's more to Luca's business. More on the dark side,' Juliette thought as the car moved. 'I saw him kill a man easily. And earlier, those men looked like they’re part of a mob.'

Juliette eyed Luca quickly.

'And he looked like he was the leader of that mob.'

Then Juliette eyed Dante.

'The leader's right-hand man, perhaps? If I think about it that way, the terms they used such as territories, seniors, rival, ally, everything would make sense.'

Juliette shook her head to dismiss the thoughts in her head.

'But I hope I'm just overthinking.'

As soon as they arrived in the mansion, Dante immediately followed Luca somewhere. Only Salvatore remained to make sure Juliette would not be alone.
