"Did everything go according to plan?" Luigi asks

"Yes" I nod, looking away

"Good We had the place you found burnt down"

"Burnt?" I look up "What about all the artwork that's in that garage?"

I flush, looking at"I painted those"

"You painted?" Luigi raises his brows at me "Adrian put you up to that?"

"I've always loved it," I mutter defensively "But papa wouldn't let me do it"

"I wouldn't either," Vitto says fir care of her children"

"Do I need to warn you again?" he snarls, his hand heavy above my face
