Things with Enzo were about to change as he arrived at the hideout, where two of his guys were waiting to share some unsettling news. They revealed that the rat in their midst was none other than his right-hand man, someone he once trusted implicitly, and that he had been collaborating with the police. Enzo couldn't believe it; how could his closest ally betray him like this?
As he stepped into the dim room where William was being held, the sight of his battered figure tied to a chair sent a wave of fury through him. Enzo's heart raced with anticipation. This moment would decide everything. He pulled up a chair, eyeing William closely, and ripped the tape from his mouth determined to get answers.
“William, how long?” he demanded, his voice filled with urgency.
"W-what do you mean, Enzo?" William stammered, panic creeping into his eyes.
Enzo's voice thundered, “HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH THE POLICE? YOU’RE THE REASON I CAN’T SEE MY SON!!!” At that moment, the tension in the air was palpable, setting the stage for a confrontation that could change both their fates.
Fear reflected on William's face as he reluctantly confessed, “F-four months, but I didn’t know you wouldn’t get to see your son! They threatened my daughter; I had to protect her, I’m so sorry!” His sobs hung heavy in the room, igniting Enzo's anger and concern.
Enzo's mind raced, memories of his family flooding back. “So what about my family? My wife and son? I can’t call them, can’t see them. My son just turned five, and I missed his birthday! He’s growing up without me while my wife juggles two jobs just to get by because the fucken FBI frozen his accounts she cized their mansion so Violetta had to find work an rent a small apartment .” Each word was a reminder of what was at stake, every moment pushing him closer to a decision that would reshape their lives.
“I didn’t want them to suffer,” William pleaded, desperation spilling from his words. “I just had to protect my daughter. She’s my only family.”
Enzo's expression hardened. “We could have protected her if you had told us,” he replied, his resolve crystallizing. “Let him go, but make sure he doesn’t see where he’s going or who we are.”
As his men untied William and blindfolded him, dragging him outside, Enzo felt a mix of relief and dread. He couldn’t shake the thoughts of his family and the time lost, but deep down, he sensed that change was on the horizon. He longed for the day when he could reunite with them again, but he knew that path was fraught with danger. The anticipation of what was to come weighed heavily on him, each moment brimming with uncertainty and hope.But with Violetta, she is starting to cook dinner for her and her son.
