The Mafia's Mercy
“Oh, baby doll,’ he murmurs, his voice soft, almost pained. “You’re not a mess. You’re healing.”
I shake my head, a bitter smile tugging at my lips. “Healing?” I echo, my voice hollow. “I’m jealous of my own sister-in-law, Marcel. I’m jealous of her happiness, her pregnancy. What kind of person does that make me?”
His hands fall from my face as he wraps his arms around me, pulling me into him. He rests his chin on the top of my head, his voice soft and sincere as he says, “It makes you human, Mercy. You’ve been through hell and back, and you’re still here. You’re still fighting.”
