Chapter 373

Aria

We said our goodbyes to the Lambertis, and the driver took us to the infamous Garcia Factory. Many who had either worked or been there stepped out traumatized.

From the inside, the heavily protected Garcia Factory looked like an innocent paper mill, but those affiliated with the Garcias knew better.

May it be money laundering, forging documents, sending out trucks to deliver and spread the words about their product-the Garcias could do it all.

At one point, they were big enough to give the Lambertis and the Alfonzos a run for their money-but with Fabio Garcia out of the picture, rumor had it a lot had changed.

As we walked through the building, many women went above and beyond to grab Vince’s attention. From accidentally dropping a pencil and bending so low, we could see their panties from under their uniforms to brushing his shoulder, not giving a shit I was standing right next to him.

Vince didn’t forget to acknowledge every single one of them, showing me this was not his first encounter and would not be his last.

He would touch them, but he would not touch me.

“So, what are we doing here again?” I could release a breath after reaching a hall that hadn’t been occupied with Vince’s fangirls.

“I have to sign some papers.”

“Vince, I’ve been looking all over for you!” An older man interrupted our conversation, almost out of breath, to catch up with Vince. “One of your cousins mentioned you’d be here.”

“Nico.” Vince didn’t appear to be excited.

“Yes?” The man called Nico spoke, not giving me as much as a glance. “By any chance, do you happen to have the key on you?”

Vince nodded.

“Vince-I’ll be leaving the country soon, and I am going to need you in that basement.” He was in a hurry. “We need to discuss-”

“What we are going to do with all of those boxes?” Vince grabbed my shoulders, pushing me in front of

him.

Right. The boxes.” Nico fixed the glasses on his nose to take a better look at me.

“Aria Morales. My wife,” Vince introduced us. “Aria…Nico.”

“Yes, yes I’ve heard a lot about you.” Nico shook my hand for a few seconds. “Nice to meet you. I’m an… old family friend.”
