Recap of Episode
13
Rita
runs from the FBI, heading straight for Christo. But along
the way, she comes across an old barn, which holds devastating
memories of the Donatelli twins raping her and Jagger. Her
remaining memories start flooding back, resulting in her attacking
Christo, the man who murdered her parents and ruined her
life.
Alessandro
grows closer to Andriena,
passion sparking between them. He offers Matteo money to stop her
from being sent to the Black Russian, but Matteo turns it down due
to Christo. Matteo instead continues to come onto Alessandro, who
vehemently rebuffs his advances. In retaliation, Matteo tells
Alessandro he’s going to seduce one of his brothers, who he knows
is pansexual.
Thierry
wills himself to suffocate
the
Padre
while
the priest is sleeping, but cannot bring himself to do it. To his
horror, he realizes he’s becoming attached to his brother’s abuser.
When the
Padre
’s
doctor comes to check on him, he tells Thierry that he has another
brother, one who murdered his father.
Matteo
sells his soldier to a
Japanese client, then hands Alessandro back to the Santini for a
ransom. During the exchange, the Donatelli are attacked, losing two
of their cars along with the ransom and most of their soldiers.
Matteo escapes with Andriena, meeting up with his uncles and
Thierry at an airstrip. After the Black Russian arrives in his jet,
Christo leaves, not realizing he’s led the others into a trap. As a
result, Matteo, Andriena, the
Padre
, and Thierry are all enslaved
by the Black Russian.

FRANO
I stared out of the car window as we
neared my home, the Mediterranean Sea glistening like stained glass
under the afternoon sun. I’d searched most of the day for Rita, but
had come up with nothing. She’d disappeared without a trace. I
didn’t know what to think—or preferred not to think the obvious:
that she’d led me around like a fool, using me to get information
for the FBI. All the evidence she’d left behind pointed to it. My
desk had been rifled through while my computer had been turned on.
Still, there was a chance that she hadn’t betrayed me, because she
couldn’t possibly have faked the way she’d touched and reacted to
me. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my
behalf.
My
driver steered the car into my
driveway. Numerous soldiers were out front, getting ready to leave.
We’d been radioed about it. Pedro Landi was removing his men from
my house. I had no idea why, nor did the soldiers in my car, other
than they had to get back fast. I just hoped it had to do with the
Donatelli and not the Santini.
As the car came to a stop, I
jumped out and headed for Jagger. He was standing in front of the
entrance dressed in smart pants and a shirt, which was left open.
He had his arms locked around Camila, the two glued together. I
grimaced, unhappy with the open display of affection. It undermined
what I’d told Pedro about my supposed relationship with the
troia.
Though, the Landi
soldiers didn’t appear to care, their focus on leaving. One of
their three cars drove off, while the second one’s engine started.
Two of the three soldiers who had helped me search for Rita jumped
into the back of it, leaving behind only four soldiers, my driver
one of them.
I stopped in front of Jagger and Camila.
“Do you know why the Landi are pulling out?”
“
No,” Jagger replied, his eyes
following the second Landi vehicle as it left. “I just hope it
doesn’t have to do with the Santini.”
“
Likewise.”
One of the four remaining soldiers called
out “Don!” capturing my attention. He headed across the driveway,
stopping in front of me. He was a hard-looking man, with wide
shoulders and a pocked face. He gave me a respectful nod. “Three of
my soldiers will stay to guard the Donatelli woman,” he said,
“while I’ll help you search for the FBI agent. I’ve been instructed
to take her to the Landi compound. My Don wishes to talk to her
about my colleague’s death.”
“
No, he’ll kill her.”
“
That’s not the case; he just
wants to question her.”
“
Don’t try to play
me
.”
“
I assure you, I’m not. We no
longer think she killed Phillipo.”
“
Then who did
?”
“
The blonde woman.”
“
Honey?”
He nodded.
“
You have got to be joking, that
woman couldn’t kill a fly.”
“
All the evidence points
to her.”
“
What
evidence?”
“
One of my soldiers found her
dead in her bathroom with a head injury and blood on her clothes. I
think Phillipo tried to rape her and she defended herself, stabbing
him in the neck with a letter opener. You saw him; he had his cock
hanging out of his pants. After killing him, she would’ve gone back
to her room to clean herself.”
“
But my desk was rifled
through.” I paused, hope now filling me. “Maybe
she
was the one stealing information, not
Rita.”
“
What for?”
“
The FBI. She was a
plant.”
“
Why
weren’t we told about
this?”
“
I only
recently found out.”
“
Then it looks like your woman
was involved after all. The two were probably working
together.”
“
No, I don’t think they were,” I
said, not wanting it to be true, regardless of the strong
possibility. Plus, if Rita was tied to the soldier’s death, the
Landi would kill her… I stopped mid thought, my mind going to what
she’d said about Christo, another possibility rolling around in my
head. “There’s a strong chance she went after the
Donatelli.”
“
Why?”
“
For vengeance. Her real name’s
Sophia Salvi. The Donatelli twins attacked her when she was
younger, almost killing her. She wanted to send out word to Christo
that she was still alive so he would come after her, but I refused
to let her. That’s probably why she took off without telling
me.”
“
Does she know where the
Donatelli Don is?”
“
No idea
.” I turned to Camila, holding my
phone out for her to take. “Contact your uncle. If he has Rita, I
need to know.”
She
took it and rung through. After
several seconds, she hung up. “He’s not answering.”
“
Try your other
uncle.”
She
entered the
Padre
’s number, then put the phone to her ear.
“
Zio
,” she said, saying uncle. She paused, a frown creasing her
brow. “Who is this?” Her eyes widened. “Why do you have my uncle’s
phone?” Her face dropped, then rage took over her features. “You
give her back or I’ll hunt you down and kill you!” A burst of curse
words shot out of her mouth. She removed the phone from her ear and
keyed in a number.
“
What’s happened?” I
asked.
“
The Black Russian has my
sister, Matteo, and my uncle Michael. He said he owns them, then
hung up.” She put the phone to her ear.
“
What about Christo and
Thierry?”
“
He didn’t mention them.” She
started talking into the phone: “I will pay for my sister’s return.
Call me,” she said, sounding like she was leaving a message. She
hung up a second later, her attention returning to me. “If he
doesn’t call back, you have to help me save my sister. I don’t care
about the others, but Andriena’s too sweet to be with a man like
that. She’s already been brutalized by the Santini
soldiers.”
“
I’ll get her back for
you,” Jagger said.
“
How?”
“
The Black Russian likes me. I
can work out a deal in exchange for her return.”
“
Then call him,”
she said, holding
out my phone.
I
snatched it out of her hand before
Jagger could take it.
“
Frano! Give it back,” she
yelled, trying to get it off me.
I stepped back and stuffed it into my
pocket, snapping, “Stop it! I’ll deal with the Black Freak when I
get back.”
“
I can do
it,” Jagger replied.
“
No. Only I can speak to
him.”
“
Then phone him,” Camila said.
“It’ll only take a few minutes.”
“
It’ll take much longer than
that, plus Rita’s in worse danger if she’s gone looking for
Christo. It can wait for now.”
“
No!” She turned to Jagger.
“Please, baby, you have to call him for me.”
I pointed a finger at him. “If
you listen to her, you’ll end up with the Black Russian’s cock up
your
culo
.”
Jagger’s eyes widened. “Watch what you say
to me!”
“
I’m not insulting you. That
Black Freak will lie through his teeth to get you, like he did with
Raphael. I bet he’ll offer Andriena as long as you go collect her,
then once you set foot inside his home he won’t let you
leave.”
