Valentina De Luca
Seven days had passed living in that house, surviving Fiamma, whom I no longer saw as the gentle figure she had seemed after my conversation with Lorenzo. Arturo and he had traveled, and I had free time to explore the house, learn its blind spots, its security, and everything necessary for my work.
I don’t know if we will live there or if we will have more independence. The point is that I need to know every place I might one day call home.
The security is heavier, though more discreet than in my father’s house, but the soldiers’ weapons and techniques are the same.
The Vitale family also has a “South Wing” of their own. It isn’t in the main building; it’s more secluded, and the only entrance is through the mansion’s maintenance area, a place frequented only by janito
