“Lucio will give you the address of the safe house. No one will challenge you.”
“Thank you,” Gabriel said standing.
Filidoro extended his hand but Malinov refused to take it. He laughed at Gabriel’s serious face.
“I look forward to doing business with you again and perhaps with your uncle one day.”
“Over my dead body.” Malinov gave him a sinister smile.
The Mafia boss gave a muted laugh. Just before Gabriel disappeared through the door he stopped him once more.
“Just a word of warning. Take good care of your journalist lover. I wouldn’t want anyone to take revenge for her success, especially if I was to now find myself implicated. She is such a beautiful woman. It would be a shame to see her dead or perhaps worse, disfigured. I don’t know how I would take it if anyone tried to harm the woman I loved.”
Gabriel’s blood ran ice cold but he did not show his fear for Antonia or his anger. He simply curled his lips into a cruel smile.
“Antonia will be safe. I will kill the next man who tries to harm her whoever he is or however important he believes himself to be,” he said coolly returning the threat.
The man nodded respectfully. No more needed to be said. Malinov left to pick up Adalina Morelli and start a new life with Antonia. The girls were being placed with a new family in the UK and she and Gabriel were allowed to see them anytime. All he had to do now was to persuade Antonia not to put herself in any more danger and not to accept the job she had been offered in intelligence at United Global Defence so he could keep her safe from harm.
A while later, he returned to their hotel room and brought her into his arms and held her tight. He cupped his hand around her chin and held it tightly.
“I am never letting you go, Ms King. You are stuck with me. I am in charge, and if you try to leave, I will hunt you down and bring you back.”
“I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
“Then, you will obey me and not take the post at UGD,” he said with authority. “I want you safe.”
Antonia sighed.
“I think we will have to discuss that.”
“Perhaps we will. Over my knee.”
