Aria

I still couldn’t shake the feeling Dante was keeping something from me, but I decided not to add to his stress.

Over the next couple of days, I barely saw him. He either left before I woke up or came back after I had fallen asleep.

There was always one meeting, phone call, or something else.

    AriaI tried not to be disappointed, but I couldn’t help it.He promised.Glancing at the clock, it was past ten, and the dinner in front of me had gone cold. I put so much effort into this. Okay, not like I cooked the meal, but I made sure everything was perfect.The fact that he promised only made things worse.I thought mafia men had a thing about keeping their word and all of that.“You should eat something.”I didn’t notice Gemma and Lola had walked into the dining room until Gemma spoke.“Really, you are glaring at the plate like you could start a war with it.”“I’m not glaring.”“You absolutely are.”Lola hid her smile.I sighed and finally pushed the plate away.“He’s probably busy,” Lola said carefully.I knew that.Of course I knew that.But honestly, that didn’t make it hurt any less. “There’s always something,” I muttered quietly.The words slipped out before I could stop them.Neither of them replied.Because we all knew it was true.I must have fallen asleep while waiti

I guess marriage does change people.”She set Mia down on the high chair.“Do you even know what you are doing?”“Yes, I do,” I replied, pouring the coffee into a mug. “It’s for Dante.”“Why? What did he do?”“Wha

    DanteBy the time I got back to our room, it was past midnight already.Our room.It felt strange but right.Aria was curled up on the couch, fast asleep with a book in hand.I paused at the doorway and took a moment to simply watch her.Her presence alone was enough to make a bad day better.I walked further into the room. The floor creaked beneath me and her eyes fluttered open immediately.“You are back,” she muttered sleepily.“Go back to sleep.”Instead, she rubbed her eyes and slowly stood up.“I haven’t seen much of you all day.”I huffed out a quiet laugh.“You didn’t have to wait for me, princess.”“I know,” she said, wrapping her arms around my neck, “but I wanted to.”I love how free she had gotten with me.

    DanteThe moment I stepped into my office, reality set in.Adriano walked in behind me. He was still pale and unfit but, ignoring all medical advice, he decided to be here for the meeting.Franco was already inside, seated with his laptop in hand, looking pissed.Salvatore stood by the window smoking while Marco flipped through paperwork on the table.“You look terrible,” Marco said to Adriano, who slowly dropped to a seat, clearly still in pain.“And you should mind your business,” Adriano replied.Salvatore smirked slightly.Ignoring them, I glanced at Franco.“How are we with the cover up?”“We were able to get all the security footage before the press got a hold of it,” he said, finally looking up from his screen.“But, we have a new overzealous detective who got the video before we did.”My jaw tightened.We didn’t need the hassle right now.“How do we deal with this?”“It’s already dealt with,” Franco replied, leaning into his chair. “It would have been nice to be given a heads
