Her scent was soft and delicate, but her eyes shone with undisguised triumph. "Nadine, I know you've had inappropriate thoughts about Ian. But we are fated for each other. Ian and I will probably form a mate bond very soon. I hope you'll know your place and stop coveting something that doesn't belong to you." She raised her glass and lightly clinked it against mine.

My other brother, Luca, laundered money for the entire operation. That made me the Family princess who did nothing but max out my brothers' credit cards. Colton had been frail since birth. His hands shook whenever he held a gun. But his oldest sister, Serena, ran several arms routes in the south, and his other sister, Natalia, commanded one of the world's top assassin teams.

The thought of it made her heart race, fueled by a desire for Aurum to confront and settle the score with whoever her mate turned out to be. She wasn't ready to forgive him for betraying her trust by sleeping with another woman, especially without waiting for her.

As the microwave hummed and the glass plate spun in a culinary dance, she couldn’t resist pouring herself a tall glass of Sprite to accompany her feast. As she waited for her food to be ready, Vinnie glanced out the window. The sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly radiating its scorching rays upon the world below. Once again, her mind drifted to her meeting with Mr Doyle, and the pang that rose in her chest this time was a lot worse than earlier.
