Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: I Have To See Cassidy

"I have to see Cassidy," she said finally, the decision forming as she spoke it, her posture straightening, resolve settling in her expression.

"The hell you will!" Luca fired back instantly.

"Excuse me?" she said.

"You heard me," Luca said, stepping closer, his eyes locked onto hers. "You are not going anywhere near him."

"And why exactly not?" she challenged.

"Because I said so," he shot back.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Vee snapped back, her patience finally snapping under the weight of everything he wasn’t saying.

"I’m not letting you anywhere near him."

"You’re not letting me?" she repeated. "You’re not letting me?! Who the hell do you think you are?!" she demanded, her eyes blazing.

"There you go again!" Luca shot back, his own temper flaring instantly. "Setting off for no reason."

"No reason?" she echoed. "You’re trying to control where I go and who I talk to!"

"I cannot let you walk into enemy territory!" he fired back.

Vee threw her hands up. "It’s Cassidy!"

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Luca snapped.

"It means," she shot back, refusing to back down even an inch, "he is a school teacher—not this version you keep trying to make him out to be!"

"Correction," he said. "He was a school teacher. He is a Bastione," Luca continued. "A long-standing rival of the Genovese. A thorn in our flesh. And in case you forgot," Luca added, "you are part of the famiglia."

"I am not going there to kiss and get back with him," she said. "I am going there to find out what the hell is happening. You think I’m stupid?" she continued, her gaze locking onto his. "You think I don’t understand what this could mean? That someone is trying to create a story? But sitting here and doing nothing?" she added, shaking her head slightly. "That’s not me."

"It’s not about doing nothing," Luca said. "Its about using your head. It’s about doing the right thing."

"And you deciding what that is for me?" she challenged.

"No," he said immediately. "Me stopping you from walking into something you don’t fully understand."

"And you do?" she shot back again. "I have to do this," she said.

Luca exhaled slowly, running a hand over his face, frustration and concern warring inside him. "You’re not hearing me," he muttered.

"No," she replied quietly. "You’re not hearing me."

"And you think he will just tell you what’s going on, right?" Luca spat. "You’ll just bat your lashes at him and he’ll spill his guts?"

Vee’s eyes flashed instantly. "I have to at least try," she shot back. "And you cannot stop me."

She said yes.
