"I actually... I love you, Scarlett. I love you, I just... I was too damn late to realize it... I'm sorry..."He was rambling, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling.He took a step forward, grabbing my hands, trying to pull me into his arms.Before I could even resist, Enzo's hand had clamped down on Kieran's wrist, forcing him to let go with an undeniable strength."What's this?" Enzo's lips curved into a dangerous smile, murder glinting in his eyes. "The boy's father hasn't said a word, and you're already trying to claim my woman and my son?""To dare touch my people in Chicago, on my turf... you're the first."His grip tightened. I could hear the sickening crunch of Kieran's wrist bones, and his face instantly turned pale.The two men were at a standoff, neither willing to back down.I frowned in disgust, twisted my wrist, and with a precise movement, pulled my hand free from between them."Kieran, I don't care what you think," my voice was devoid of warmth.

He lowered his head, pulling his hat down, trying to melt into the crowd.The Scarlett of today was so dazzling, exactly the version of her that had first captured his heart.It was the marriage, the prison of the Thompson family, that had trapped her. It had made her insecure and anxious, forcing her to abandon her passions and career to revolve around him alone.It was all his fault.Kieran's eyes welled up with tears.If she hadn't
