Chapter 63

• Eva finds herself at a loss for words as a lavish supper is planned and everyone is seated; nonetheless, Rafael is comforting her by holding her hand beneath the table. Her life was ordinary until a few months ago, and now she's dining with some of the top mob bosses in the world. She glanced to Rafael, who returned the stare with a smile.
• As the waiters poured wine and served the first course, Eva's mind raced with thoughts of her unexpected journey. From a simple life to a world of luxury and danger, she had become a part of something much bigger than herself.
• Rafael's hand, warm and reassuring, tightened around hers, as if sensing her unease. She felt a surge of gratitude towards him, her husband, her protector, and her love.
