Chapter 11

Aria's POVThe abandoned warehouse smelled like wet rust and old dirt. My wrists were bound with a plastic zip tie. Daniel stood ten feet away from me. He was holing his smart phone to video me. He held a black handgun in the other hand, but the barrel pointed at the cracked concrete floor.He noticed I was awake and then stop videoing."I just sent Jasmine the video of your kidnapping. She gave me fifty thousand dollars," Daniel said. His voice echoed in the vast, empty space. "She wants you dead, Aria."A cold weight dropped to the bottom of my stomach. I raised that girl. I dropped out of school to pay her medical bills. I worked double shifts until my feet bled. I went to a maximum-security prison to keep her record clean. I gave her ten years of my life.My only sister wanted me in a grave to protect her fake crown."Are you going to shoot me?" I asked.Daniel shook his head. He looked exhausted. The confident, arrogant boy from a year ago was gone."I hit her that night for

Aria's POV"But you are married to my sister," I reminded him, my voice trembling."Seriously?" Dominic let out a dark, harsh laugh. His gaze dropped to my lips. He tilted his head. His mouth hovered just an inch from mine. The heat radiating from his skin was intoxicating."I am one second away from kissing you in front of every single one of my men," he murmured. His warm breath brushed across my skin. "I want to ruin your lips. I want to show the entire world exactly who you belong to. Tell me to stop, Aria. Tell me you do not want this."My pulse hammered in my throat. I could not speak. I wanted him to close the distance. I wanted to feel his mouth on mine.The heavy sound of combat boots broke the spell."Boss!"Chase ran into the warehouse. He was out of breath. He held a thick white envelope in his hand. The private clinic's red logo was stamped across the front.Dominic pulled back. He kept his eyes on my face for a long second before turning his head."The lab results," Ch

Chapter 13

Aria's POVThe damp scent of arousal mixed with his masculine bergamot cologne.He lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He guided himself to my wet entrance. He did not hesitate. He pushed forward, burying his thick length deep inside me with one powerful thrust."Dom!" I screamed his name. The stretch was intense, filling an emptiness that had ached for a year.He held my hips tight. He began to move. Hard, relentless strikes. Flesh slapped against flesh. The sound mixed with the raging storm outside. He drove me higher with every downward thrust. My fingernails dug half-moons into his broad shoulders. I tasted his sweat. I felt the rigid muscles of his back flexing under my touch."Aria," he rasped, his breath hot against my ear. His pace quickened. The friction built a blinding pressure in my lower stomach. "Look at me."I opened my heavy eyelids. Our gazes locked."You are my wife," Dominic claimed between heavy pants.I shattered first. Bright stars exploded behind

Aria's POVHe snapped his head toward me. Confusion and rage battled in his eyes."Move, Aria," he ordered."No." I pushed the weapon down. "You cannot shoot her here.""She tried to put you in a grave.""I know," I said, my throat tightening. "But I made a promise to our mother on her deathbed. I swore I would take care of Jasmine. If you blow her brains out in front of me, I break that vow. Let the police handle her. Give the USB drive to the authorities."Dominic stared at me. He hated the idea of letting the law handle his problems. A mafia boss exacted his own revenge. But the plea in my eyes stopped him. He exhaled a sharp breath and engaged the safety on his weapon.He stepped back, holstering the gun.I turned my back on Jasmine. I felt a hollow ache in my chest, but the suffocating weight of her lies was gone. It was over.A low, scratchy sound broke the silence.It started as a giggle. Then, it grew louder. Jasmine pushed herself off the marble floor. Her hair was a mess. Bl

Chapter 15

Aria's POVA heavy silence fell over the room. I felt a cold panic grip my heart.I was a liability. I had a criminal record. I brought their biggest enemy right to their front door. I looked at Dominic's broad back. A mafia boss protected his empire first. Would he give me up to stop a bloody war?No. I refused to be a victim again.I stepped forward. I raised my chin and glared right into Victor Fontaine's eyes."I will fight you in every court," I promised, my voice ringing loud and clear. "I will hire my own experts. I will expose the forgery. I will tear down your fake papers. You will never take my son."Victor laughed. It was a dry, ugly sound."You are a nobody," Victor spat. "You have nothing."Dominic moved.He stepped directly in front of me. He shielded my body completely with his massive frame.The sharp slide of metal filled the grand foyer. Dominic drew his gun. He pointed the barrel straight at Victor Fontaine's chest.Chase and a dozen Valentino guards drew their weap

Chapter 16

Aria's POVDominic stepped forward. "Chase. Gather the USB drive. Take her to the police station.""No," I said, catching his arm.Dominic frowned, looking down at me. "Why do you still have pity for her?""Prison is too easy," I replied, staring at the pathetic figure crying in the rain. "She wanted to be a rich mafia princess. Let her chase what she wants. She may regret it."Dominic stared into my eyes. He nodded once. He ordered the guards to shut the heavy oak doors, leaving Jasmine completely alone in the freezing downpour.I watched her go. My chest felt light. The ten-year nightmare was over. I owed her nothing.Dominic turned to me. The cold mafia boss disappeared. He reached out and cupped my cheek. His thumb stroked my skin."Are you hurt?" he asked.I shook my head. I looked up into his blue eyes. "Where is Luca?""Upstairs," Dominic said. "He is safe. He is waiting for his mother."He took my hand. We walked up the grand staircase together. The house was quiet. We pushed o

Chapter 17

Aria's POV"I cannot," I whispered, keeping my eyes on the open ledger. "Your father gave me a test. I am going to ace it. And don't help me cheat. My father was a good actuary before he died in an accident. I am his most proud student.""I know it. I know you can do it."Dominic leaned down. His warm breath brushed the side of my neck. He pressed a soft, open-mouthed kiss just below my jawline. The stubble on his chin scraped my skin, sending a rush of liquid heat straight to my core.He bit my collarbone. "Let the old man wait. Come upstairs."I gripped the edge of the desk. My body begged to follow him. The dark hunger in his voice was a physical pull. I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling of his lips on my neck."Dom," I breathed."Yes." His hands slid down my arms, tracing my sides until his fingers brushed the underside of my breasts."Wait! Look at this page," I said, forcing my eyes open. I tapped a specific column of faded red ink.Dominic groaned in frustration. He pulled his

Chapter 18

Aria's POVI stopped two feet away. I held the umbrella over my head. The rain washed the world in a dull, gray haze."The Fontaines threw me out," Jasmine sobbed, her body shivering violently. "Victor's men took my jewelry. The banks froze all my accounts. I have no money for a hotel. I slept in a bus station last night, Aria. A homeless man tried to steal my coat!"I stared at her. My chest felt hollow. I felt no anger. I felt no pity."Please, sister," Jasmine begged. She slid down the iron bars, falling to her knees again. Thick tears washed the dirt down her cheeks. "Remember when we were little? You promised mom you would protect me. You swore you would take care of me. I am sorry! I was stupid. I was greedy. Just let me inside. Let me see Luca. I will be the nanny. I will clean the floors. Just do not let me die out here!"She played her final card. The family bond. The guilt trip that kept me chained to her for ten long years.I reached into my coat pocket. I pulled out a thic

Chapter 19

Aria's POVI obeyed. He draped the silk over my eyes and knotted it behind my head. The darkness heightened my senses. I smelled the faint trace of scotch and his signature bergamot."Dom? Where are we going?""A drive," he replied, taking my hand.We rode in the back of the SUV. The hum of the engine vibrated beneath the leather seats. I tracked the turns, feeling the vehicle head deep into the city.The car stopped. The heavy door clicked open. Cold, crisp air rushed over my bare arms. Dominic guided me out, his hands firm on my waist.He stood behind me. He untied the silk knot.I blinked against the sudden glow. We stood in a narrow, brick-lined space.I recognized the cracked concrete beneath my feet. This was the alley behind the dirty street bar where I worked a year ago. The exact spot where I saved a dying man.But it looked completely different. Hundreds of warm string lights hung overhead, casting a soft gold glow over the old brick walls. The back entrance of the seedy bar

Chapter 20

Aria's POVWe reached the altar. The priest spoke the traditional vows. He asked for the wedding bands.A soft murmur rippled through the front rows.A tiny figure stepped out from the side pew. Luca wore a custom black tuxedo that matched his father's suit perfectly. He was just over a year old. He waddled down the carpet, his little legs unsteady but determined. He held a small velvet pillow tight against his chest.He reached my legs and looked up. A massive, gummy smile lit up his chubby face."Mama!" Luca babbled, his high-pitched voice echoing in the quiet church.Tears spilled over my eyelashes. I crouched down, ignoring the expensive silk dress, and kissed his soft cheek. I took the rings from the pillow. Dominic lifted our son into his arms, holding him as he slid the solid diamond band onto my left ring finger."I belong to you," Dominic vowed. "Until my last breath."Three years later.The Valentino syndicate boardroom occupied the top floor of a towering glass skyscraper.
