"What's wrong?" Mia asked as her voice brimmed with worry. She couldn't understand what had made Alessandro's expression shift to pure terror. She had never seen him panic before-not in any worse situation. Her heart sank with fear even before Alessandro responded.
"Get in the car, Mia," he ordered sharply, opening the door for her. Without argument, Mia slipped inside, sensing the urgency in his tone. Alessandro quickly rounded the car and slid into the driver's seat, starting the engine with swift precision. "Which restaurant are the kids at?" he asked urgently, his eyes fixed on the road.
"Alessio told me he took them to La Piazza, Mia answered, still confused and anxious.
"Call him. Check on the kids," Alessandro instructed, his voice tight with concern.
Mia nodded and quickly dialed Alessio's number. But when he didn't answer, her panic set in. "He... he's not picking up."
"Damn it!" Alessandro cursed, slamming the gas pedal and ignoring the traffic lights.
Within minutes, they pulled up in front of La Piazza. The sight made Mia's panic intensify. Police were swarming around, people were crying, and an ambulance had just arrived. Paramedics rushed out, sprinting toward the restaurant.
"Stay here," Alessandro ordered, yanking off his seatbelt in frustration and throwing open the car door.
"I want to come with you- Mia started, but couldn't finish as Alessandro's bloodshot eyes fixed on her with a commanding glare.
"No," he snapped, making Mia flinch. "Stay. Here." His tone left no room for argument.
Alessandro bolted out of the car, sprinting toward the restaurant. From her seat, Mia watched as a few police officers tried to stop him, but after he said something to them, they let him through.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Inside, Alessandro frantically searched for his kids, his head whipping back and forth as he scanned every corner. The place looked like a war zone-tables and chairs were overturned, and several security guards were either injured, being treated by paramedics, or worse. Some were already being loaded onto gurneys, severely wounded, while others lay still.
His heart pounded heavily as his feared eyes darted around, searching desperately. Then, he saw Alessio's body, lying lifeless on the ground. Alessandro rushed over and saw the bullet wound in his head.
"Fuck!" He ran his frantic hand through his hair, his forehead wrinkling with worry as his heart raced with fear.
If Alessio was dead... where were his kids? The phone call had been real, not some baseless threat. His mind raced as he tried to put the pieces together. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he quickly pulled out his phone to call his lawyer friend. His whole being buzzed with urgency as he waited impatiently for Matteo
to answer.
As soon as the call connected, Alessandro didn't wait for Matteo to say anything. He didn't have the time. Instead, he barked urgently, "Matteo, Gia and Maximo have been kidnapped, and I need your help."

Finished.
Although Matteo was in Paris and Alessandro was in Florence, he was ready to drop everything to be by his friend's side. That was how strong their bond was-beyond friendship, it was more like family. "No, stay there, but do one thing." Alessandro commanded.
"Anything. Just tell me," Matteo replied desperately.
"I need you to find some information for me," Alessandro demanded, knowing that his lawyer friend had a vast network that operated faster than a satellite. Matteo had been working for Alessandro for so long that it had become part of his life. Matteo listened to Alessandro as he shared everything on his mind. When he finished, Matteo knew exactly what he needed to do.
"Consider it done," Matteo said after listening to Alessandro's brief instructions. He ended the call and immediately reached out to his team, determined to gather as much information as he could to help Alessandro before the next step.
