Chapter 27 Federico

• It wasn't me. I didn't get there on time and I wasn't the one who blew up the warehouses. As much as I'd like to chalk all this up to coincidence, I know it's not. But I have no idea who could be behind this. Regina has a lot of enemies. As a woman in this business, of course, men hate her and want to see her gone. She's the proof that women can also succeed in something men thought only they were capable of and it doesn't sit well with them. Given the chance, even her closest relatives would kill her to prove a point. So the fact that someone helped her and took revenge for her is suspicious. My first guess was Bianchi but he wouldn't be foolish enough to declare war against the Irish. Not if he wants to win the election.
• Could it be someone new? But what do they want from her? Fuck, I hope they're not trying to woo her because I will kill them before they make their first move. It wouldn't be the first time someone tried to impress her. While others want her dead, there are a few who think they stand a chance with her. And even though I made most of them give up, there will always be someone new. In the past, it didn't matter because she was too absorbed in her pain to care about anyone but it's different now.
• I think of the way she looked at me back at the port and it has me wondering if she's gotten over him. Is she ready to move on? Of late, I've noticed the way she looks at me has changed. It's as if she sees me and not her dead lover. While I'm glad she pulled through, a part of me wishes she could go back to mourning him so I could continue using that as an excuse to not tell her how I truly feel.
