Chapter 188

Chris stood in the cold wind, itching to go inside and see what was going on, but the security guards wouldn’t let him through.

When Macro came out, he saw Kevin next to Chris, trying to talk the guards into letting them in.

Macro didn’t want to get involved, but thinking about how upset Sebastian had been–and the trouble that could spill over into Long Harbor–he stopped his car and rolled down his window.

As their eyes met, Macro asked, “Here to see Stefi?”

Hearing Macro call Stephanie in an intimate way, Chris felt a pang in his chest. The way people around Sebastian talked about her made it clear what kind of role she played in the Lucano family.

Chris tried to swallow his unease. “How’s she doing?” he asked.

Macro could tell Chris already knew about the accident. He gave him a serious look. “She’s the little princess of the Giovanni family. Her safety is none of your business.”

Chris was stunned at Macro’s words. Everyone had always thought she was raised by some hicks–unloved, uncared for, and without manners.

But now, it turned out she was one of the famous Giovanni sisters from Fiorenza–the very sister Sofia had always bragged

about.

Macro said, “Mr. Ashford, let me just remind you. You don’t deserve Stefi. The Lucano family won’t accept you.”

She was the little princess of the Giovanni family, known in Fiorenza. She was the younger sister that Sofia took everywhere and had never endured any hardship. But in Long Harbor, she found herself facing real difficulties for the first time.

“She’s not connected to you anymore. Don’t look for her again,” Macro said.

Chris’s breath caught. Hearing Macro’s words, he felt like part of his heart was missing. There was no visible blood, but the pain was deep.
