Chapter 8 Lorenzo rented a luxury cabin just down the road from the sanctuary .
The great Lorenzo Visconti , reduced to stalking the grounds like a ghost in his Zegna overcoat .

He launched himself at Marcus , Rolex flashing as he swung .
I stepped between them .

Isabellas perfectly Botoxed face contorted .
Did you hear her , Lorenzo ? Shes calling us dogs .
Let me show this backwoods healer- The sound of Lorenzos slap cut through the clinic like a thunderclap .
