Chapter 14 - The Empty Bed
Thousands of miles away, the peaceful morning sun completely flooded the luxurious master suite of the Rossi estate.
Hunter slowly stretched her arms, reaching blindly across the massive, incredibly soft mattress for her husband's warm embrace.
Her hand met absolutely nothing but cold, empty silk sheets.
She sat up instantly, a sudden, terrifying wave of absolute panic completely washing over her maternal instincts.
She quickly checked the connected nursery, finding little Leo completely safe and sleeping peacefully in his reinforced crib.
But Lorenzo was entirely gone, and his heavy, secure satellite phone was carelessly left charging on the bedside table.
Hunter walked aggressively over to his mahogany desk, completely determined to find out exactly what massive emergency had taken him away.
She lifted the heavy leather binder, instantly discovering the terrifying, high-resolution photograph he had desperately tried to hide.
Hunter stared completely in absolute shock at the image of the beautiful, supposedly dead woman holding a dark-haired toddler.
The typed, heavily threatening message on the back of the photograph completely chilled the blood entirely in her veins.
Sophia was absolutely alive, and Lorenzo had completely flown directly into a massive, highly lethal trap to protect his family.
Hunter felt a deeply violent, completely unstoppable surge of fierce, unadulterated protective rage completely consume her.
She absolutely refused to sit in a beautiful mansion and wait for the police to casually inform her that her husband was dead.
She aggressively sprinted down the grand staircase, violently demanding to speak to Lorenzo’s elderly, highly loyal consigliere.
The old man was standing in the massive foyer, looking incredibly grim as he completely locked down the heavy estate doors.
He quietly informed Hunter that they had completely lost all secure communication with Lorenzo's private jet over European airspace.
Before Hunter could completely formulate a highly aggressive rescue plan, the massive estate was plunged into absolute, pitch-black darkness.
The heavy, highly sophisticated security grid had just been completely and violently severed from the outside.
Hunter completely recognized the terrifying, incredibly precise tactic from the horrific night Tommy Vance had attacked the mansion.
Sophia had not just completely trapped Lorenzo in Paris; she had aggressively sent a massive, highly lethal strike team to finish her work in America.
Hunter fiercely grabbed a heavy tactical shotgun from the hidden armory beneath the grand staircase.

She looked entirely fearless, completely absorbing the terrifying reality of the massive, highly dangerous war she was actively fighting.
She strictly ordered the consigliere to completely lock down the underground panic room and violently defend the infant heir with his life.
