Reign Of Loyalty. Dark Reign, #8

Niccolo is the consigliere of a very dangerous family, Il Destino. He is devoted to his capo, Alessio Cassini, and to the men that serve them. He is used to the horrors that can befall the family but having Valentina taken and almost killed was enough to jolt him into making a change. Valentina is rocked when she's taken by the enemy. She's forced to watch her friend die a horrid death and knew she was next, if not for the courageous attempt at saving her life.
She's a woman lost and can't seem to find her way back. The only man to give her solace is Niccolo, but why would he want a bird with a broken wing? Niccolo has given her time to settle but Valentina only seems to be getting worse. It's time to step in and protect what's his.
