As soon as we arrived back i barged into my office.

Yesterday i tried everything to get through to Diego, but nobody was able too. Not even the hackers I'd hired, the best throughout Italy, could track him down.

I was beginning to fear the worst.

Of coarse, i knew what he was going to do when he called. something was off from the start. He'd sent himself out on a potential suicide mission.

Although, we don't know if he is... dead.

He could of just disappeared, left on a secrecy getaway, escaping the clutches of the family business.

But What if he had done exactly what I'd thought in the first place. How would i tell alice? And Ariana? And matteo? And-

We arrived back home about three hours ago, and i was in the kitchen catching up with Elizabeth, a steaming mug of coffee in my hands, my hip resting against the countertop.

These last 4 days have been the best days of my life; quiet, relaxed and with the one i love most.

My little babies.

"Speaking of Elijah, where is he?"

I shrugged "i don't know" I placed my mug on the kitchen island "but i have an idea"

Making my way upstairs, I slowly pushed open the door to Elijah's office.

The room was pitch black, and from afar i noticed a figure slumped down behind the desk.
