Chapter 152

Johnny had a confused expression on his face and looked at all of us before he burst out laughing. “This can’t be true. Please tell me this is some kind of April Fools’ prank.”

“It’s not,” Luca whispered. Johnny blinked his eyes a few times to process the news, while Christian was seconds away from having a breakdown. “Dad is alive?” Johnny gasped.

“Where is Enzo.” Christian breathed as he closed his eyes. “Where is my brother? Where is he!”

“What do you mean dad is still alive? How is he still alive?”

“Where is my brother!”

“How is Dario, our brother-”

“Stop!” I yelled out. “Both of you, stop it!” I spoke and turned to Johnny. “You and Luca can talk this out later. For now, you have to tell us what happened to Enzo.”

“I told you, I don’t know.” Luca sighed while Johnny let out several curse words and paced back and forth. The news hit him hard and I had never seen him this angry before.

I rested my hand on Christian’s shoulder and held him to calm him down. “Please think, tell us exactly what happened—come on.”

“I-I don’t know,” Luca repeated. “He told me to bring them to him, so I did.”

“Bringing over the girl was easy, but she cried so much, she kept asking if she was going to die-and there was nothing I could do because I can’t go against him.” He spoke. “He forced me to do it. I never wanted to do it.”

I couldn’t believe myself, but I even felt bad for Gina. She wasn’t crazy and knew exactly who she was working for, but I don’t think she expected something like this to happen. “And Enzo? Where are they?” Christian asked.

Luca not being able to give us a specific answer scared me, but I at least had some time to prepare myself for the news. “Enzo….we struggled for a bit-but after I told him that I had no choice and that you and Gio were next, he willingly came along-”

“Of course he did. He’s my brother.” Christian sighed, annoyed. “Now tell me, where did you take him. and where is Berto?”

“Serena said something about a vault in Dario’s office? Is that where he’s hiding them?”
