Chapter 190
But we already are against one another! Marco snapped, frustratedly.
“No, we are not! I just want a divorce, it’s not a war, Marco. Don’t make it a war. You can’t face Alessandro in a war.
It was a fact.

“I have hand–picked every single one of these three hundred and thirty men to come here with you. These men are the best of the best, They are the cream of the crop. I have deliberately chosen each and every one of them. You are sure to defeat Nikolai in war with these men by your
side.”
I scoffed after hearing his words, “Marco, I’m not stupid! Our men and resources are nowhere near enough to defeat Alessandro. We can’t face De Luca in a war. He will kill all of us and he will win, face the facts. I don’t want Leah’s men to die for nothing. I’ll get a divorce
“I don’t see that happening, Nikolai.”
I furrowed my eyebrows, “What do you mean?”
“He won’t give you a divorce, either we go on a war with him or run back home with our tails between our legs.”
“Don’t be stupid, Marco, we need to think rationally and strategically. I won’t let him spill any more blood—he threatened us—all this will be child’s play for him. You don’t know him,” I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, “Just keep Antonio safe. That man in there is valuable to us, as long as we have him, we have Alessandro.”
Marco took a deep breath, “Fine, what do you want me to do with him?”
I glanced at the cell’s door, “Right now, don’t do anything. I don’t want him harmed in any way.”
Marco clenched his jaw, his nostrils flared as he glance back at me, ‘Got it! But I’d like to interrogate him, I believe that he did rape her‘
I nodded, “Fine, just don’t do anything stupid…”
We were keeping Antonio in the same building as us and even these buildings weren’t safe from Alessandro. I heaved a sigh and walked to the elevator to get back up to my room.
The second I opened the door, the ringing of my phone caught my attention. I walked to it, knowing well, who could be calling me right now.
I placed the phone next to my ear without even looking at who it was, “Alessandro?”
“Let. Him. Go.”
I smiled, “Or what?”
“Don’t fucking push me, Nikolai. I’m going fucking/easy on you, don’t fucking take advantage of that.”
I clenched my jaw, even though he couldn’t see me, “I am not pushing you. Antonio and I had some unfinished business. We are just catching up.”
“You want me to believe that shit? You took him, Nikolai, you fucking took him! You made a big fucking mistake.”
I sat on the couch, “And what are you going to do about it?”
“If any of you touch a single hair on his head, Nikolai-”
“He is unharmed, Alessandro. I told you, Antonio and I are just catching up nothing else.”
