Voss was waiting for her near his desk. He looked exhausted, and still deeply disappointed. There were dark circles beneath his eyes and anger sitting hard around his mouth. "The DA threw out the case,"
She felt nothing. She had used up her ability to react. There had to be a limit somewhere. She did not say anything.
What was there to say? With what she had heard the night before, Voss had no case anyway. Vito had made a deal with Luca. Her father had been negotiating.
She had lost. She had lost everything else along the way too, one piece after another. Her husband would not talk to her.
He had run off to Singapore. Carol was not picking her calls either. That almost hurt as much as Marco's silence. Carol, who had welcomed her, laughed with her, loved Matteo like he had been born straight into her arms.
Valentina was losing everyone. One after another. And it was only a matter of time before she lost Veronica too.
Luca would tell her. If he had not already.
