“Why?” I ask. “I thought we had everything we needed.”

“Something has come up,” Amadeo says, expression grave.

“What?”

He sighs. “Lucien has submitted paperwork to take guardianship of Emma.”

The thought of Lucien Russo having that little girl under his control burns. I don’t know why but it does. “Does Vittoria know?”

Amadeo shakes his head.

“What are you thinking?” I ask.

“Vittoria will also file.”

It makes sense. I know it does. But it bothers me. “So we’re going out of our way to help her?”

“It’s not exactly out of our way. The kid—”

“You heard what she said. What she wants.”

“I also know you cornered her. If you trap a wild animal, it will fight. And she is as wild as they come.”

“As long as you and I are aligned, brother.”

He wraps an arm around my shoulders. “Always, brother.”
