~Salvatore's POV
Matteo obeyed and we watched it again. Livia walked out of the hallway without resistance, without being stopped, and without even a hand reaching for her. At the same time, Elsie and Gianna were taken in the opposite direction, struggling as they were pulled away.
I stepped back slightly, running a hand over my face as my thoughts moved faster.
"Get the car ready," I said.
Matteo looked at me closely.
"You are going after Dante?" he asked.
"Yes," I said without hesitation. "And I need to make some calls."
He nodded immediately.
"I will handle the car," he said, then turned and left the room.
The moment he stepped out, the silence in the study changed. I pulled out my phone without wasting time and dialed Dante's number directly. It rang once, then again, but there was no answer. After a few seconds, the call failed completely.
I tried again and it was the same result.
