He was going to stay there and send me away. My brows pulled together in confusion. What the hell was he talking about?
My lips parted. As I was getting ready to speak, Elio instantly cut me off with a tone that was both concerning and stern.
“I’m having someone take you back to the apartment,” he stated. “This is not up for discussion, Caterina.”
My stomach twisted in knots. As much as I wanted to stand there and argue, I honestly didn’t have it in me to try.
‘He’s not shutting me out,’ I told myself. ‘After everything that’s gone on, Elio is not trying to push me away... he’s merely trying to gain control of the situation again. And the last thing he needs to worry about is me.’
I asked about his plan before I left. Elio told me that he was going to stay back with Leo and Franky to help deal with the bodies and potentially create a new game plan should no word of Junior come through the wire.
