Luca's POV Sorrow filled my heart as I watched the men bring in the body bags of the deceased. Mara stood next to me, clutching onto my hand for dear life. When we arrived back at the villa, I sent Leo to the compound to help Trey find the discrepancies in the surveillance videos. I also sent Miriam to go help her Nonna. They seemed to be close to finishing up the restocking of the bunker. I have already called a buddy of mine to put in an immediate expedition of the fallen soldatos back to their home country. I felt like it was the only appropriate assistance I could offer at that time. He did, after all, lose his men fighting my battle. For that, I will be forever grateful. Mara and I stand quietly, paying our respects. I am positive that her mind is an ocean of thoughts right now.
