Chapter 21 New Information

• Despite The Shadow's growing attachment to both Riccardo and me, we knew that our relationship with him was a dangerous one. His power and influence in the underworld had made him feared and respected, but also despised.
• But it wasn't only his enemies who posed a threat to our newfound peace. As I spent more time at The Shadow's estate, I found myself drawn to him in ways that were inappropriate and deeply unsettling.
• After dinner had ended and everyone had left for the night, The Shadow invited me to his private suite. He had been drinking heavily and was acting unpredictable.
