Everyone knew Andre Marino as the Don who kept business separate from his personal life. I couldn't call him unless it was business. If someone wronged me, I couldn't ask him to step in. We'd been together for five years. He'd taken a bullet for me. When we were trapped with no way out, he'd given up his chance at rescue so I could get out. He'd done everything a man could do for someone he trusted with his life. But I couldn't walk in and out of his study as I pleased. Every time I needed him, I had to wait outside the door for a long time. Andre said the study was his private space, and he had to keep things above board. I had to wait at the door for a full hour so everyone could see he wasn't playing favorites. Only then could I knock and go in. Then one day, I came back from picking up a shipment and stood outside his study, waiting to report in. The wind had turned my nose bright red. His second-in-command, Nora Russo, walked straight in, wearing his trench coat. She glanced back at me and said casually, "Annie, don't blame the Don for not letting you come and go as you please. He's big on rules. Business is business. Personal matters stay out of it." "Then why can you come and go?" I demanded. Nora twisted her family signet ring on her ring finger, a knowing look in her eyes. "Our families go way back. We've always been allies, always fought side by side. He's even got my last name tattooed on his chest." One of the men behind me gave a fake cough. She scoffed. "What? Am I wrong? She has no say in the business, and on the personal side, she can't even get through his door. Other than taking care of Andre's needs in bed, what good is she?" The door opened. It was obvious Nora had made herself at home. Pink, the color he hated most, now covered every wall. I stood frozen for a long time. Then, slowly, I let the question drop. If he couldn't give me the love I wanted, I knew what to do. I'd go to the man who was willing to make an exception for me.

It was a winter evening when Nora ran into him.She wore a mink coat and was laughing and preening on a man's arm. He was Enzo Bellini, the new Don, and he was young, rich, and powerful, with far more prestige than Andre had ever had.Nora recognized Andre right away. She stopped and looked at him huddled against the wall, and then she burst out laughing."Well, well. If it isn't Don Marino. How did you end up like this?"Andre raised his head and looked at her.Nora's face hadn't changed, but her eyes glittered with mockery and triumph. She reached out and tipped his chin up with her fingertip, like she was playing with an animal."What's the matter? Annie doesn't want you anymore?"Andre didn't say anything. Nora laughed even harder and turned to Enzo behind her. "Babe, did you know this guy used to be a real big shot? He kicked me off his estate over some woman. And now look at him. The woman ran off, and he's a bum."Enzo walked over and kicked Andre. "Get lost. You'll get my shoes

It was Jack who dragged Andre home.Andre had been drinking hard. He'd started the minute he walked out of the stock exchange and kept going until the early hours of the morning.The living room was full of empty bottles, and the ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts. He sat on the couch, clutching the ring he'd gone back and fished out of the toilet himself. He'd washed it over and over, but the smell never went away."Don, you need to stop drinking," Jack urged.Andre ignored him and took another swig."She never used to let me smoke," he said suddenly, slurring his words. "She said it stank, so she made me quit. I didn't touch a cigarette for three years. Then she left, and I started again."Jack sighed. He didn't know what to say.Andre held up the ring and studied the worn engraving. Then he gave a small, miserable smile."Jack, do you think she'll ever come back?"Jack was quiet for a long time. When he finally spoke, his voice was low. "Don, Ms. Blake's company went publi

Meanwhile, at Ibis Pier.The rain had stopped. The wind coming off the sea was damp and salty.Arthur took me from the pier to the Vitale estate. It was huge and filled with beautiful flowers. Almost all of them were kinds I loved.He told me I could go anywhere on the estate, whenever I wanted.Arthur never made me wait. He gave me a room where the morning sun spilled across the whole bed every day. He made me the Donna of the Vitale family, and no one dared whisper behind my back about where I came from. He gave me a company and had me learn the business from the ground up, starting with the simplest tasks. Step by step, he trained me himself until I could run it on my own.I was always afraid that being his favorite came with a catch.But Arthur just smiled. "Did you forget? Back when we were at the group home together, I promised I'd give you everything you wanted."He'd said it when we were kids, half joking. I'd never imagined he'd take it seriously.He didn't seem to want to kee

When Andre got home, the estate was empty.The living room light was still on. A glass of water sat on the coffee table, long gone cold. He went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door. The closet was open, and half of it was empty.Annie's clothes, her books, all her random little knickknacks. Everything was gone.He stood frozen in front of the closet for a long time.Then he turned and strode to the study. The door wasn't locked. He pushed it open and went in. Everything was exactly as he'd left it. The files were in order, the shelves were clean, and nothing was out of place.But then it hit him: Annie had never been allowed to simply walk into his study. Every time she came, all she could do was wait outside the door. Wait a full hour. Wait for his permission. Only then could she knock and come in.At the time, he'd thought he was just following the rules.Now, all at once, the study felt horribly cold.Outside, it started to pour. Rain hammered against the windows as if trying
