Chapter 5 - The Empty Estate
The convoy of black SUVs tore through the city streets, running red lights and breaking every speed limit. Dante sat in the back seat, his jaw clenched, staring out at the blurred city lights. He was going to find Isabella. He was going to beg for her forgiveness on his knees. And then, he was going to make Valentina pay for poisoning his mind.
The heavy iron gates of the estate swung open. Dante didn't wait for the SUV to stop. He threw the door open and sprinted up the stone steps into the massive, luxurious mansion.
"Isabella!" Dante yelled, his voice echoing through the grand foyer.
Silence answered him.
He ran upstairs to their master bedroom. The massive walk-in closet was completely empty. Her clothes, her jewelry, her luggage—everything was gone. The room felt cold and entirely abandoned.
Sitting in the center of their perfectly made bed was a single, thick manila envelope.
Dante’s heart hammered against his ribs. He walked slowly toward the bed, his sharp features pale with dread. He picked up the envelope and opened it.
