Chapter 525: + - 525+
Angelo didn’t look away from the ceiling even when he heard his door open. Without looking, he already knew who was there. Silvia often poked her head in to check in on him, even though all he ever did was stay in bed.
"Angelo? Do you want to come with me to Asher’s club?" Silvia asked hopefully, her hair full of wild curls.
Angelo noticed that Silvia was home more often these days, but he refused to address it, pretending not to notice. "Not really," Came his lackluster response.
He reluctantly looked at Silvia, who still waited expectantly at the door, she looked worried, but not enough to prompt Angelo to rise to his feet.
"If you say so," Silvia reluctantly gave in, "Do you want pastries?"
Now that held some of Angelo’s attention, he partially sat up, some light coming into his eyes, which were dark in the dim room. "Yes, please."
Silvia smiled to herself as she turned away, Angelo had been moping in his room ever since he realized that the few days he was supposed to spend with her didn’t have any end in sight. She was honestly impressed that he had yet to mention Nikolai even once.
Thinking about Nikolai made her expression grim. There was a lot of unrest in the Mafia King’s turf currently, and even though she was still gathering information about it, all roads led to the High Council.
Silvia knew that Luis Caddel would be a tough nut to crack, but she didn’t think that he had this much authority in the High Council. Luis Caddel himself had gone AWOL, it was almost like he had long figured out what Nikolai was up to and was just biding his time until he had weakened the other’s defenses.
