“Don’t say things like that in front of Bianca. You know how she gets. I’ll never hear the end of it, and she’ll bully you.”I laughed at Tom trying to act like he was defending me when he was doing the actual opposite. Did he think I was stupid or something?“Bianca bullying me has never worked because I’m not the kind to sit back and allow people to walk all over me, and you know this. If you think you’re going to use this stunt to try and get me to spare your relationship, you’re dumber than I thought.”“Watch you’re fucking mouth, Chiara. In two weeks, I’ll get exactly what I want from you. You’ll be in my bed every single night, and I’ll punish you for every crude word you’ve ever said to me.”“If you think I’ll make it easy for you, you’re nuts. I’ll drive you so crazy that the thought of me might send you to a psychiatric facility. I’ll not go down without a fight. You should know that by now.”“Your mother is not here to defend you, so you’re getting married to me no matter wh

I told myself to remain calm because if he saw the fear in me, he would use it to his advantage. I refused to let him in, especially when I could smell the liquor on him.I hated the way his eyes were trailing down my body like he wanted something from me. I shouldn’t have sent him my address when he claimed he wanted to deliver something to me.All he wanted was to know where I lived so he could stalk me and do bad things. What did he want anyway? I wanted to close the door on him, but I didn’t want to anger him enough to make him report to his mother.“What are you doing here so late? It’s past midnight.”He pushed his way in forcefully. No matter how much I tried to keep him out, he wouldn’t budge. As a man, he was stronger than I by far. I hated that I was weaker than a man who vowed to hurt me like it was a fantasy he couldn’t wait to fulfill.“I can come see you whenever I want. You’re going to be my wife soon enough, and I recommend that you start acting like it. If I tell you

“What the fuck is he doing here?” Tommaso asked, but I was frozen in my spot. I didn’t know what to say or do.If he was there for me, I would be exposed for being in bed with a criminal. What would I tell my family? The Rinaldi family would make sure I didn’t survive in Palermo.I couldn’t move and I couldn’t speak. I was about to look for the nearest exit when Mrs. Rinaldi approached him with a smile on her face. She dragged him to her husband, and they started speaking like they were long-time friends.I didn’t know what to say about that. I had never seen Mr. Rinaldi smile so politely at someone before, even though it was clearly fake.“I need a drink,” I said as I grabbed another glass of scotch from a passing waiter.Tommaso tried to reach for it, but I held it away from him.“Are you trying to get drunk at our engagement party? You better not act like a slut or a bitch.”“That’s not what you should be praying for. You should be begging me not to slip up and call you a rapist. T

She looked at me with wide eyes as she pondered if I was being serious with her or not. She didn’t know that I was. She thought it was a joke but it wasn’t.It didn’t matter which means or methods I used to achieve that feat but I would make it happen and I would be damned if I watched her walk down the aisle with some other man.I was the only man for her, and I hated that that little boy she called a fiancé was the one who got to introduce her to people and hold her in public like he belonged to her.She fucking belonged to me, and I fought every urge in me not to beat him up the minute I saw him. He got on every last nerve and the fact that he tried to attack my woman just sealed the deal for him. It was only a matter of time before I took his life, and there was nothing his parents would do about it.I had a feeling they would accept money over their son because they were just that power-hungry, especially that mother of his.Mimi called the shots in her house and even dominated h

The room was tense, and I could’ve pretended I was oblivious, but I wasn’t. My father had just walked in, and he was locking eyes with Emilio.Papa looked like he wanted to kill Emilio with his bare hands. Emilio looked smug, like he was enjoying the attention he was getting from my father. It was clear that he enjoyed riling my father up, and I began to wonder why he had never told anyone about our affair.My father would’ve gone crazy if he had heard that I was sleeping with the man he hated the most. Seeing them in the same room and the tension between them became clear between them was clearly hate and nothing else.I wondered what Emilio had done to my father to elicit such an emotion within him. Papa rarely gave anyone the time of day, including his daughter. It was really serious, and I didn’t know whose side to take. While I was beginning to question my father, I also couldn’t trust Emilio because he was a gangster and he had killed people before.He had obviously lied so muc
