Cheating

I had lost my memory for three years. I'd been through hell and high water with Adrian Vance for the past three years. He told me we'd grown up together on the same block, two kids who'd fallen for each other young. He told me that once he had a real foothold in the Family, he'd marry me in front of all of Palermo and make the whole city come to watch. I believed him. With a steady trigger hand and a mean streak, I cleared every man who stood in his way. I dragged him up from a nobody bastard son into the inner circle of the Family, one body at a time. Then the day finally came, and what he said was, "I've already asked the Don for his daughter Camilla. It's settled. I'm marrying her." "Camilla's a mafia princess. The Don's pride and joy. Not some no-name orphan girl with nothing and no one behind her. She's the one who can actually lift me up." "Be good, Vera. As long as Camilla never finds out, we can go on the way we always have." "Be good. You mean play your mistress in the dark, is that it?" What Adrian didn't know was that my memory had already come back. My real name was Hale, heir to the Hale family, the one enemy the Marlowe outfit he'd sworn himself to feared most. Childhood sweethearts, princesses, Don. In the end they were all just one more debt I'd settle on my way to paying the Family back in full.

Chapter 1

"'Mistress.' Christ, Vera, does it have to sound that ugly?"

"I know you're angry. Breaking my word to you was wrong, I'll own that. But think about it. You've got no family name, no connections, no one to open doors for you. Tell me yourself, what part of you stacks up against Camilla?"

"I'm Marlowe's golden boy now. You really still dreaming about marrying me?"

Dreaming.

Every one of those promises he'd spelled out for me, word by word, and now, in his mouth, they'd turned into some delusion of mine.

I wanted to laugh, and I couldn't.

Three years of my life, and Adrian had already forgotten. All the time it took him to climb from a bastard everyone stepped on to a man who stood at the front of the room, every shootout, every hit, every bullet that came for his head, I was the one who took it for him.

Without me, he'd have been carried out of some alley feetfirst a hundred times over.

I stared at him, my voice gone cold. "So that's it. Because I've got no name and no pull, I'm supposed to step aside for you. Everything I did is worth nothing now. That about right?"

"You've really made up your mind, Adrian?"

I watched him and thought: if he changed it now, if he gave a damn about the last three years, then maybe somewhere down the line I'd still find a way to let him walk.

But Adrian just kept his eyes lowered, looking at me the way you'd look at a stray that wouldn't stop yowling, contempt running all the way down.

"The Don's already put the word out," he said evenly. "There's a limit to how naive you can be, Vera."

"Besides, I never said I was cutting you loose. Behave yourself, don't make a scene in front of Camilla, and when the time's right I'll bring you in and set you up somewhere nice. We can still be together. Can't we?"

He reached for my hand as he said it, working a little warmth into his eyes.

"I haven't forgotten what you've done for me, Vera. I swear I'll treat you right. Even if you're only my mistress, you're the one I value most."

"Don't bother." I pulled my hand back, and my stomach turned.

I took a step back, done wasting breath on him, and turned to leave, only to find a ring of men closing in around me.

My hand went to the gun at my waist on instinct. Then Adrian's voice came from behind me, unhurried.

"You're not healed up yet, Vera. Doctor said no strain. You try anything, you won't come out ahead, and I don't want to hurt you."

A few months back, Adrian had walked into an ambush and nearly died, and I'd taken the knife meant for him. The wound ran clear across my body, and the slightest effort would split it open again, raw and bleeding.

I gave a cold, thin smile. Funny, that the blade I'd taken for him was the very thing he had me by now.

"The wedding's in two months. I don't want anything going wrong before then."

They pinned me down. I watched Adrian hold out a pill, then catch my chin and force it past my lips.

"It's just a sedative. It'll keep you soft and useless for a few days. It won't kill you. You'll stay out at the house past the city line for a while. Sit tight."

"I'll come get you myself, soon enough."

The hand on my gun had no strength left, and I couldn't even keep my feet. All I could do was glare at him, gather everything I had left, and spit at his shoes.

Adrian. I'm the heir to the Hale family. Did he really think I'd ever settle for being some rival outfit's kept woman, tucked away in the dark?
