I was really looking forward to Kat's confrontation with Bradbury. He has some explaining to do. What kind of lame bodyguard allows his responsibility to enter a vehicle without checking it first?
I am so glad Lucca woke up so quickly. Such a rollercoaster ride for Cat. Keep up the wonderful story!
There's so much to sift through in this chapter! Who are all these families/organizations coming out of the woodwork? Is Cat's supposed grandfather a member of one of them? I'm still confused about Vanessa so I'd like to hear her story from her. I was under the impression that her husband had hurt her but then sometimes it was referred to as some sort of accident. Is she covering for him? Was it really an accident? Was his family trying to shut her up? And why are the Citali's not all over it? Or have they separated her from him and we just don't know because nobody has told Cat the truth of what happened (a very annoying trait of the men is the tables). And how is harassing Cat with lookalike Nik's to the Martino's goal? We're they hoping someone would go to the secret prison to check Nik was still there and they could follow them or try and trace a call to the facility to learn it's location? Why would some tables know that a secret prison was an available option? Both the Donatis of the table that was blown up and the Vitali fathers know of it but the head of the Martinos doesn't? I can understand they didn't know Matteo's mother was still alive until now but I don't get why they can't approach the Papillo about the location or set up some family member to have supposedly done something so horrendous that they need to be put in a secret prison for the presumed dead, contact the Papillo, and get the location while having said family member committed to the jail. It seems like that'd be a more logical plan than Nik lookalikes. I can't wait for more and to learn the answers to some of these questions!
In many more ways than one! You're really outdoing yourself with this story Ellie! It's beyond brilliant! Can't wait till next week...
The plot, chatacter development and pace keep me coming back.
... that everyone seems to view scaring Cat with lookalikes and letter as worse than kidnaping her and assaulting her and almost killing her brother in law then abandoning her in the city with no ID. Is she seriously considering these incautious and selfish acts as a suitable way to meet family. Surely she has better self preservation instincts, especially while pregnant.
