2CatoThe doctor handed me the results in private.We were a match.That baby was definitely mine.“You’re certain?” I asked as I folded up the paper and placed it in my pocket.“These kinds of tests are never wrong, Mr. Marino.”I walked into the patient room and saw Siena standing there. She had put her dress and shoes back on now that the procedure was finished. Her brown hair was pulled back in a clip, and her eyelashes were thick with mascara. She’d done her best to cover the bruises on her face, but no amount of makeup could hide the damage.I’d watched my brother beat her mercilessly, and despite my rage, I respected her for the way she handled it. Not once did she scream. Not once did she cry. She didn’t allow any audible sound to give my brother satisfaction.And when I pointed the gun in her face, she didn’t piss herself.She looked at me through those full lashes but didn’t ask what the results were.She already knew.I’d had her tested for diseases just to make sure. Her

3SienaI sat on the balcony and cried.Sobbed.Now that the dust had settled, reality hit me hard.My father was gone.Both of my parents were gone.The last thing I said to my father was harsh, so harsh it would haunt me for the rest of my life. He had been too stubborn to talk to me in five years, and I had far too much pride to go back on my word, so those were the final words that we would ever say to each other.It’s your fault she’s dead. You didn’t love her, and you don’t love me. All you care about is money and power. You can’t love things that won’t love you back. You can’t take those superficial things to the grave. All you can take is your soul—and you don’t have one.I’d left his house and never looked back.Now I regretted how ferocious I was. He didn’t come after me once in five years, so he obviously didn’t care, but he’s still my father.He was my father.In the back of my mind, I always thought we would find our way back to each other. I always imagined we would have

“And you don’t want to be like that.” I wiped my tears away and turned back to him. His arms were on the armrests as he looked out over his property. Handsome as ever, he sat on the chair like it was a throne.“No,” he whispered. “I’m not a coward.”The door opened, and Giovanni appeared with the dinner he’d tried to give me earlier. “I hope your appetite has returned, Miss Siena?”Cato stared straight ahead.I had no appetite at all, but Cato had just given me kindness—and I would reciprocate. “It has. Thank you.”Giovanni placed the tray in my lap before he left.I took small bites of my food to make Cato happy.He didn’t look at me. “Thank you.”“See?” I teased. “You can treat people like human beings.”He shrugged. “Sometimes.”Tears were still hot behind my eyes, but they slowly retreated the longer I sat with him. “I know you don’t believe me, but I really did turn around for you, Cato. I wanted to save my father, but in the end, I knew I couldn’t do that to you.”“It doesn’t ch

4CatoI hated that woman.I’d thought I was the devil. No. It was her.She could cast a spell on me like a witch. One moment, I hated her, and then the next, I was under her trance. I listened to her cry with pity in my heart. Instead of walking away and leaving her in solitude, I stayed so she wouldn’t feel alone. Then I consoled her…and lingered. Every time she asked why I stayed, I didn’t have an answer.Because I knew I shouldn’t be there.She was a traitor and a liar.Why did I give a damn about her?When she crawled on top of me, I had to use all my restraint to pull away. As far as I was concerned, she was just a surrogate. She would give birth to my son or daughter, and then she would be dead. There was no other way.And I shouldn’t fuck her anymore. I could fuck anyone I wanted now—and as many women as I wanted. Monogamy was over. She was the first woman I’d given it to, and it’d all been a waste.A part of me still wanted her, but if I caved, it would be a terrible idea. Th

Bates was standing outside when I pulled up to the house. It was ten in the evening, so he’d obviously heard about my deal with Micah. It was the only reason he would stand like a gargoyle outside my house.I walked up the stairs and met him face-to-face.His eyes looked like bullets. “What the fuck, Cato?”“Let it go, alright?”“Let it go?” he hissed. “Are you fucking with me right now? Since when do we call truces with assholes who try to assassinate you?”“They were never a threat to us.”“Doesn’t matter. That’s not how we treat our enemies.”“It wasn’t worth our time.” I stepped around him and headed into the house.He grabbed me by the arm and yanked me back. “We make these decisions together, asshole. Not only did you not tell me, but you did it behind my back.”“I knew you would never agree. And what I do to the people who try to kill me is my business. This had nothing to do with work or a deal, so no, I didn’t need your approval. It’s done now, so drop it.”“Maybe in another

Cato opened my side of the car and helped me to my feet.“What are you talking about…?”He guided me to the grass and past the other tombstones until we reached my mother’s headstone. The stone slab had my mother’s birth and death carved into the surface, and there had always been a blank spot underneath where my father’s name would appear.And it was filled out. His birthdate and death were marked.The ground covering where my mother’s coffin lay had been dug up, and a second coffin had been placed on top. Too speechless to say anything, I stared at the sleek black coffin and knew my father was lying in there, joined with my mother for all eternity. The surface of the coffin was shiny, with the exception of the few drops of dirt sprinkled on the black paint. I felt too many emotions to feel anything at all, so I just stood there.Then I started to cry. “Father…” I moved to my knees and stared at the grave where both my parents now lay. Joined together in death, they would lie there f

Landon kept watching me. “I know you’re stubborn, so you’re probably going to try to run anyway. If you do…make sure you don’t get caught. The consequences will be catastrophic, pregnant or not.” He looked at my face and didn’t ask about the bruises that were still visible. He probably figured out exactly where they came from, but he didn’t show me any pity. “Well, looks like I’m going to be an uncle…”“Yes.” My hand moved over my stomach. “Yes, you are.”“And you’re going to be a mother.” He gave me a slight smile. “It’s what you’ve always wanted.”“I just hope I live long enough to enjoy it.”6CatoI gave them privacy to mourn their loss, but I was certain Siena had notified her brother of everything that had happened.That I would kill her once she had my baby.He wouldn’t retaliate, not unless it was a suicide mission.When they were finished, they walked away from the open grave. Close together, they returned to the cars parked at the curb. The caretakers on standby immediately

She shut the door then joined me in the living room. She moved to the couch beside me and watched the soccer game on the screen. “Sports fan?”“Yes.”She looked at my glass of scotch on the table like she wanted to take a drink. Of course she couldn’t, so she sat back and turned her gaze on me.I tried not to stare at her legs in those little shorts. I tried not to look at her tits in that thin cotton shirt. Even though she genuinely looked ready for bed, she’d never looked sexier. She could have walked in here in lingerie, and my reaction would have been the same. Maybe she was intentionally antagonizing me under the false pretense of going to sleep. “Something you need?”She looked at my shirtless chest, not bothering to hide her need for affection. Maybe she’d tried to fuck me last week to screw with my head. Or maybe she just missed sex as much as I did. “I wanted to ask you something.”“I’m listening.”“I do nothing all day while you’re out and about—”“You aren’t going to work.”

That seemed to be a compromise she liked. “I’d love to.” She moved to her knees on the floor and pulled her top over her head. Her perky tits came into view, with their hard nipples and firm size. She pulled her hair out of her ponytail and let it fall around her shoulders. “I want to thank you for what you did…and I can’t think of a better way.” She wrapped her hand around my length, stared at it lovingly while licking her lips, and then deep-throated me instantly.My head immediately rested back against the couch. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed getting my dick sucked until now. Her flattened tongue rubbed against me perfectly, and she practically unhinged her jaw to accommodate my girth. The best part was the way she stared at me as she sucked my dick, like getting me off was more than enough pleasure for her.Her hand played with my sac while she kept moving up and down, keeping those plump lips wide apart.“Harder.”She moved deep and hard, slobbering her saliva all over my leng

I lay on the bed and caught my breath, my fingers still between my legs. I didn’t feel any shame for what I’d just done. He didn’t want to please me, so that was fine. I could handle my own needs.Like he couldn’t handle it, Cato stormed back out—making sure to slam the door this time.8CatoBates and I had just finished a meeting, and now we rode in the back seat of my car.My brother rolled down the divider to speak to the driver. “Take us to that club you took me to last week.” He hit the button again and closed the divider. “After dealing with assholes all afternoon, I say we get drunk—on pussy.”“I’ll have a drink or two. But I need to get back.”“Why?”I glared at my brother. “You think I’m actually going to answer you?”“I’m your brother. You should answer me.”I looked out the window and ignored him.“This better have nothing to do with that bitch.”Hearing him call her that all the time got old, but I didn’t have the right to correct him. She did betray us.“It doesn’t.”“Th
