~Somewhere in Los Angeles.~
When the news reached Massimo about the death of one of his men by the hand of Jace Romano, he was unfazed by it.
Death was one of those things that came with the job description. But when he found out Jace had his men intercept his shipment at Long Beach, he was infuriated.
All this over a woman? Massimo scoffed. It was shameful. But he had come to realize that Mira was Jace's weakness. He had wanted to exploit that leverage but the silly girl was no different from her husband - utterly smitten even when she did not want to admit it to herself. It was way too obvious.
He didn't plan on killing Mira. Well at least not immediately. He wanted her to locked up and tortured until Jace would give up the ownership of that document. If she died eventually, it would have been his cross to carry (Jace).
