Rome, Italy - The Gangster
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ59vGMb1S
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcKLUp5wSi
The drive back to the apartment was filled with a tense silence. Mathis gripped the wheel, his mind swirling with unanswered questions. They were running out of time, running out of options. He glanced at Bree, her eyes fixed on the window, the streetlights casting fleeting shadows across her face.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzM7ECg11G
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJS7LF7KYR
He broke the quiet. "Do you have a dress with you?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxIs5iu8qF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKAGkEddTG
Bree turned to him, her brow furrowed. "A dress?" Her voice carried a note of disbelief. "What does that have to do with anything?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ZzHC74F4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRwmfcLei
Mathis allowed a small, knowing smile, though tension still flickered in his eyes. "I have a contact here in Rome. From back when I was undercover."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftrFEnxRhS
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcEhNAAvdd
Her expression shifted to curiosity and suspicion. "Undercover?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj9GHYp2hQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3wI9eVboO
"Yeah," he said, the smile fading as he focused on the road. "I had to infiltrate a criminal group operating out of Italy. Made some useful contacts. The people I dealt with have no idea I'm a secret agent. One of them now runs a hotel and restaurant in the city." He paused, letting the memory settle, the weight of old choices pressing down on him. "He might have information we need... if he still remembers me."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡithFPoHMkz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQMscx3EHC
Bree's eyes narrowed, skepticism clear. "So what's the plan? You charm your way in with this old contact, and I play the distraction?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMPNWxajGR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZIu6YHwqk
Mathis shrugged, his tone pragmatic. "Something like that. You'll need to blend in, look like you belong there. These people don't trust outsiders, and we need them to talk."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulpoP5G3d5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8LWKmX6Xo
She sighed, shaking her head. "I've done this before, you know. Played the role. I'm not just here to look pretty."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V3v9a4eIl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfglfUHo4j
Mathis glanced at her again, his expression softening, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "I know. But it's not just about the role—it's about survival. And right now, we need every edge we can get."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ2xRWGYYs
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ntJKZHIG
Her gaze flicked back to the window, processing his words. "What kind of people are we dealing with?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelWKs6l3j0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6qJA5v0IK
Mathis hesitated before answering, the gravity of their mission heavy in the air. "The kind who know how to keep secrets. And the kind who'd rather bury you than let you uncover them."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BuPpg4V9X
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEc36aYB8C
As he pulled up outside a lavish hotel, he felt a familiar mix of excitement and dread. This wasn't just about the mission; it was about her. He wanted to protect Bree, to let her in, but memories of his wife and child haunted him. The thought of losing someone again sent a chill through him.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVmWr0pGL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgIXNnD0Jd
Leaning down, he shot Bree a wry smile. "If I'm not back in fifteen minutes, I'm probably buried under the foundation somewhere. See you soon."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL7hNJyWJV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhIOVVLfGg
Bree didn't quite catch the humor but forced a small smile as Mathis disappeared up the steps into the grand hotel. The unease in her chest only deepened.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqSxbMfNcQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBdPCnYivM
Inside, the polished marble and soft murmur of conversation felt surreal. He strode down the long red carpet, unfazed, heading straight for the reception desk. But as he walked, a pang of guilt twisted in his gut. Could he really let Bree get close, knowing the danger surrounding them?
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjzmAfBMe2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgY5kglcVe
"Good afternoon," he said, offering a polite nod. "I'd like to speak with Vinni Tomaso."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hiRxEJm9y
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo7Uhhu6CR
The elegantly dressed receptionist glanced up, her expression a mix of curiosity and skepticism. "Do you have an appointment?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832e8r1ZY9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNTkRwxDg1
Mathis flashed a disarming smile. "No, but tell him Mathis Kristensen is here to collect."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxsyA5f1wZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpYinatnj
As he waited, he thought of Bree. She was strong and capable, but he couldn't shake the fear that he was dragging her into a world of pain. It felt selfish to care for her, to allow himself to feel something again. But then he remembered how she had stood by him during the chaos, her determination shining through.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx1lSpw56h
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKISYUtund
The receptionist gestured toward the elevator. "You may head up. Suite 8."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5TqneXZ7o
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kBfPTp2Ce
Mathis gave her a charming smile, his heart heavy as he took the lift to the 8th floor. He quickly found the door, greeted by two security guards in suits. "Sorry, sir, we have to check you."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bwoqqq1KU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0pHsXy044
Mathis opened his jacket and let them confiscate his gun. He exchanged a knowing glance with one guard, silently conveying trust. The door opened, revealing an air of luxury. He walked through a large living room adorned with beautiful paintings and elegant furniture, the scent of expensive tobacco lingering in the air.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84f8Bpnrwy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoonoAHA9G5
As he approached the glass desk, Vinni turned, a short, round man with sparse hair. His unease was clear as he glanced at Mathis's confiscated gun.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5j0PQAjhG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSYMsVRJas
"Are you here to kill me, Mathis?" Vinni asked, raising the gun with mockery.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZRBjlL18
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRV6KFtKCV
Mathis remained calm, leaning back in his chair. "No, but you know I'm always ready for the unexpected."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ICGPVK6h5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk6qL1QIAM
Vinni's tension eased slightly, his tone shifting. "Mathis! So nice you're back. All good? Haven't heard from you in years; was sure you were dead."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLZXvZTNS9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4IGCg6EA8
Mathis chuckled, though the laugh felt hollow. "No, I'm still around. I'm here to check out a few things—details I can't share, of course. You know how I value professionalism. But something big is going down in the next five days. Heard anything?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTur0a8JGHc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlHPbPYypr
Vinni leaned back, lighting a cigarette. He took a long drag, letting the smoke curl out of his mouth, his eyes calculating. "Mathis, you know it's bad business for me to share information like that."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEAe2WOf0A
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpPZtfcRT
He stood, motioning for the guards to leave, then grabbed two crystal glasses from a nearby cabinet. Pouring a generous amount of whiskey into each, he handed one to Mathis. They raised their glasses.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKXvrfQSu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlV6qeULXd
"For old times," Vinni said, his tone light but his eyes sharp with calculation.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b2Us9tvoX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePl8fBzlAD
Mathis savored the whiskey, the smooth burn grounding him for the moment. "You remember when I helped you rise to power, don't you? Or have you forgotten who handed you control of this place?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcodreboIkO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr27aKSnQg
Vinni's eyes flickered, and he stared down into his glass, the weight of old debts hanging in the air. "I knew you'd come knocking one day, calling in favors. It's only fair, I suppose."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP7jdmTNBM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkYoNsJoZ0
He set the glass down and nodded. "I'll look into it. Come back tonight, and I'll have what you need. But, Mathis..." He glanced over Mathis's casual attire with a smirk. "Find something more... suitable."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2zQAvkj2W
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N2QQEP3f7
Mathis drained his glass and gave a sly smile. "You've got it."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcpBu8WNq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ZgBWxMeh
As he left the room, a sense of foreboding washed over him. He descended the elevator back to Bree, the pressure of the ticking clock weighing on him. As he slid into the car, he flashed her a grin. "We've been invited back tonight, but apparently, we'll need to up our fashion game."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6obXo38Tk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPPe3HRtbL
Bree raised an eyebrow, her concern lingering beneath the surface. "Let's hope that's the only thing we have to change."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3V6cjw1L
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsvY73MXzh
Mathis settled into the car beside Bree, the weight of their earlier conversation still lingering. He glanced over at her, catching her raised eyebrow.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNqswSQurx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVkYXTz07h
"So?" she asked, curiosity barely hidden.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WQxVoNLK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTullTo6Hit
"We're going back tonight," he said, adjusting his seatbelt. "But we'll need to dress the part. Seems Vinni's expecting a more... refined version of us."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAAcGzE03F
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO18mBngeq
Bree's eyes flashed with interest. "I've been dying for an excuse to wear something other than field gear." She smirked, but the seriousness beneath her playful exterior caught his attention. "You think he's really going to help, or is this just another stall?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5jaiguZn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaIlfw0yAg
Mathis considered, the tightness in his chest reminding him of the stakes. "Vinni owes me, but he's still a snake. He'll give us something, but it might come with strings attached."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGWXz99GNb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQCmCfxJ4M
Bree nodded, understanding the unspoken risks. "What's the plan then? Do we just play along?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rut6fcXy9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTCvzqoniS
"For now," Mathis said, his tone colder than before. "We go in, act the part, and see what he gives us. If there's even a whiff of betrayal, we handle it."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPRson9zAV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGNhhDVKbc
She gave him a sidelong glance. "Handle it, huh? We're not exactly walking into a den of saints."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJf2I24q2c
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JYU9cZENO
Mathis smirked, starting the car. "Good thing we're not saints either."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUv5tjJI8B
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YONojteo3
Hours later, they stood in front of the grand hotel once more, the façade shimmering under the evening lights. This time, both were dressed to blend in with the high-society crowd—Mathis in a tailored black suit, crisp and sharp, while Bree stunned in a sleek, dark evening dress, her hair pulled back in an elegant twist. They looked the part, but their eyes scanned the surroundings with the vigilance of seasoned agents.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWjtEDzJXK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnsStOuXS5
The lobby buzzed with chatter, the scent of expensive cologne and polished marble filling the air. As they walked through, the same receptionist glanced up, her cheeks flushing at the sight of Mathis.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7DzUZ85h7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJMB1xwkP
"Mr. Tomaso is expecting you," she said, her voice softer than before.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfRy4jh33E
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wq7gV0m8Y
They moved past her, stepping into the elevator in silence. Bree glanced at Mathis, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You clean up nicely."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuo7PD9ZNK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVvE4MGnnN
He gave her a brief smile, though shadows of doubt flickered across his features. "So do you."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJylNjMwhL7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxw3JKlqsI
The elevator dinged, and they stepped out onto the 8th floor. No guards stood at the door—only an open path leading directly to Vinni's suite. They entered the lavish room, the scent of whiskey and smoke still clinging to the air. Vinni was waiting, standing by the glass desk, a smirk on his face as he took them in.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5OTftq4It
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EiX639BVh
"Well, well," Vinni said, clapping his hands together. "You two look like you belong here."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTlrWRLfm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy39WVRkMXE
Mathis gave him a cool nod, forcing himself to stay focused. "You've got something for us?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4O12ThAV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dj2N8jZT2
Vinni poured another round of whiskey, but the atmosphere felt heavier this time. He handed them both glasses, and Mathis sensed the tension coiling in the air, a prelude to danger.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPWzUCTCPj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBDBrXEa6h
"I've been hearing things," Vinni began, his voice low. "There's talk about a big meeting. High-profile people, dangerous plans. But if you're expecting me to hand over names, well... that'll cost you."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTnVr1BWGo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT59KYmBB4X
Mathis set his glass down, urgency flashing in his eyes. "We're not here to bargain, Vinni. This is bigger than your little empire. You help us now, or you might not have an empire left."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ289UE50beV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbSig91p5k
Bree shifted, her sharp gaze fixed on Vinni. "You've had a taste of what they're capable of. We're not just trying to cross them; we're trying to prevent a disaster."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQK9x5eK8i
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X6CYNhcry
Vinni's smirk faded, fear flickering across his face. He let out a breath, nodding slowly. "Fine. There's a meeting—secret, high-level. In four days. People you don't want to mess with. High government officials. But I don't have the details yet. You'll need to dig deeper."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi0EzuWTc8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF4NPu2HKa
"Where?" Bree pressed, her voice steady.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIpz2NMQZX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnJK28yBH5
Vinni hesitated, then gave a small nod. "Rome. Palazzo della Minerva. The whole place has been cordoned off. What have you meddled with?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebWMntzcHn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXKn9PZPfF
Mathis's eyes narrowed, a chill running down his spine at the revelation. "And who's pulling the strings?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jO04cS3Ti
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4tH9pPrAF
Vinni swallowed hard, his voice dropping to a whisper. "The Shadow Front."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANtiI2M6SQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjoYDm7tDk
The name hung in the air like a death sentence. Mathis felt a surge of adrenaline as the weight of the revelation pressed down on him. This wasn't just another job—it was a battle against an unseen enemy.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGuys6Cue3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbV4ajElSu
"That's what I thought," he said, his voice low and measured.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnomELwNx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1qfZxcNT
Vinni shifted uncomfortably. "Look, I don't know much more. I'm just a middleman. But this meeting, it's big. And the people involved... they're not the type you want to cross."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORXZAmGFLy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoORyo97rR
Mathis stood up, demeanor sharp and focused. "We're not here to cross anyone. We're here to stop something that could blow up in everyone's face. If you hear anything else, you contact me. No delays."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXHsPfvcc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRFFb1IyMO
Vinni gave a quick nod, the tension in the room palpable. "I'll do what I can."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNx2LMNW5T
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC67kFjr1b
Bree stood as well, her eyes fixed on Vinni. "Just remember, if this goes sideways, we'll know where to find you."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HgHPAGROx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs00ypx3M7R
Vinni's face paled slightly, and he gave a nervous chuckle. "I got it, I got it."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eeZ8Kxtl6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6eXusTSSm
As they turned to leave the suite, Mathis felt the weight of their mission. The Shadow Front had just made their move, and now it was a race against time. They stepped into the elevator, silence thick with unspoken thoughts.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWYrbYN7F
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM1iJRhCdc
"We have four days," Mathis said as the doors closed.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9yCqyaq7z
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEhv1kqPK
Bree nodded, seriousness settling in her gaze. "We need to start gathering intel. If this meeting's going down at the Palazzo della Minerva, we'll need a way in."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5mV1xUne
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeOsHpy5r1
Mathis nodded, contemplating their next steps. "We'll pull some strings, but first, we need to figure out who's attending. High-profile government officials... the stakes just got a lot higher."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPLQRG7K8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxABQZr8lc
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Bree glanced at him, her voice dropping to a whisper. "You realize we're walking into a minefield, right?"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2WRuPiIFW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAn13iaw8
Mathis gave her a small smile, determination igniting in his chest, though beneath it lay a turmoil he couldn't shake. "Wouldn't be the first time. But before we go, why don't we take the opportunity to enjoy a good meal? We're dressed for the role, and you look fantastic, Bree."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqeKAPPKoY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbGUL3QoHV
Her smile brightened, and she took his hand, warmth flooding through him. But with that warmth came the cold weight of his past, the shadows of loss lurking at the edges of his heart. Could he let himself care for her, knowing how fragile life could be?
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmvMOKBDsy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zKTL8bLao
They found a cozy restaurant nearby, the warm ambiance a stark contrast to the chill of their conversation. Over a candlelit dinner, they shared light-hearted banter, allowing themselves a moment of normalcy amidst the chaos. Bree expertly navigated the menu, her confidence a reminder of her past as an undercover model, and Mathis felt a mix of admiration and fear.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSbPZ5xYu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3iAirlLfm
As they talked, they overheard snippets of conversation from a nearby table—discussions of politics and recent scandals—that hinted at the pervasive influence of the Shadow Front. Mathis caught Bree's eye, a shared understanding passing between them.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLfNAYaJvo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JHilmOakC
In that moment, he was struck by the realization of what they were up against. Not just a criminal organization, but a shadowy force that could tear them apart at any moment. Could he truly risk letting her into his heart, knowing the danger they faced?
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7u1qEfe5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw5zplUcmt
When they finally exited the restaurant, the cool night air washed over them, refreshing yet foreboding. There was no time to waste. Rome was waiting, and so was the Shadow Front. Mathis's phone buzzed in his pocket—a message from an informant about movement in the underworld.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8XiFYHB7R
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLyUyyFK6
"Before we go," he said, checking the message, "let's see if we can pick up any more intel on the way."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl1WRa5uBp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcvQwZHpEV
Bree nodded, her expression serious. "It's time to move."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxTBDeWcg0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPUOXaxLQV
They stepped into the night, ready to face whatever awaited them. But as Mathis walked beside Bree, he couldn't shake the feeling that with every step, he was drawing closer to a precipice—a choice between duty and the growing connection he felt for her, a connection that could lead to salvation or devastation.
