I drove the rental car to its limits through the winding Tuscan countryside. The GPS indicated I was twenty minutes away from the address Max sent to me, but even that felt too long.
Every second Aria was alone with Max increased the chance that Silas would get to her first. I couldn't let that happen.
I have failed Lucas , and I was determined not to fail Aria too.
"f**k," I muttered, taking a sharp curve faster than I should have. The tires screeched in protest.
I'd left my men behind, not wanting to intimidate Aria with a show of force. That decision now seemed like another potential mistake. But I had to trust Max. He'd been reliable up to this point—moving Aria to a secure location after my warning about Silas's escape was exactly what I needed him to do.
