The sound of the gun short and the message still lingered in Alessia's mind like smoke—cryptic, cold, and completely unexpected.
She quickly hugged Luca. Finding protections in his arms.
He embraced her in return, making her feel she's safe with him.
"You are here with me, nothing will happen to us". He words were so reassuring.
"Did you received my message?" he asked, voice low, his tie already loosened, that deadly gleam in his eyes returning.
"I did…" she said, hesitating. "But… I also got another. One I didn't expect. It said I shouldn't come. That I should turn back."
Luca's eyes narrowed. "My scared woman…" you should trust me more over those snakes trying to scare you. He murmured, stepping toward her. "I got a call too. A warning. But baby, that voice doesn't hold power over me. I need action, not whispers. And I know the same snakes behind those messages pulled the trigger this night."
