“I mean, you could whip your dick out and watch me not get hard,” I mock Aldo, making Isaac and Conner laugh behind me.
Leone speaks up. “You could talk to his wife.”
Aldo throws his head back and laughs. “Fucking hell, don’t tell me you fell for that shit. Vice isn’t married.”
I cock my brow as the others look at me.
Leone frowns. “Bosco tried to arrange a union between him and my niece. Vice declined because he was already married. When he tried to touch Vice’s wife, Vice...” He drifts off as I chuckle.
“You can say it, Leone. I broke his wrist. I don’t like people touching what’s mine.”
“Bullshit. If you’re married, prove it.” Aldo scowls.
I look behind me at Isaac and nod. He leaves the room without looking at anyone else.
“What I want to know is, what will be my restitution when I prove I am, in fact, married? Because if you think I’ll allow this slight to stand, you are sorely mistaken.”
“Fuck you.”
“I’m pretty sure I told you I’m not into men.”
The others talk among themselves momentarily as I look up at Conner. He nods, letting me know he’s ready for what’s to come. Now I just have to get Nova through it without her shooting me in the dick.
A few minutes later, the door opens, and Isaac strolls in. He’salone but leaves the door open as he resumes his spot behind me. All eyes are on the door when, a moment or two later, Nova walks in with Veck and Miles behind her. She looks relaxed and confident as her eyes scan the room before falling on me.
“What the fuck is this?” Aldo bellows, moving to grab Nova, but Miles and Veck jump in front of her.
“Touch my wife, Aldo, and I’ll rip your head from your shoulders.”
“She’s not your fucking wife. She isn’t even in your family. She belongs to me.”
I stand, the room going deathly silent. “Nova is mine.” My voice snaps out like lightning. I dare him to argue with me. I hold out my hand for her, and she walks toward me. Once her hand is in mine, I sit and tug her into my lap.
Veck and Miles move away from Aldo and walk over to stand by the door, while Aldo turns and leans on the table, glaring at Nova.
“You fucking slut.”
A red haze washes over my vision. I growl and move to stand up, but Nova stops me. “Hey, it’s okay. He can say whatever he wants. We both know the truth.”
She places her hands on the table, and I move to cover them with mine when Aldo laughs. I look over at him, but his eyes are on my fingers.
“I think it’s safe to say they’re together, Aldo. Rings aside. He has her name tattooed on his fingers, and his name is on her collarbone.”
“That means jack shit.”
Conner opens his laptop bag and pulls out a copy of our marriage certificate, sliding it acrossthe table.
“This proves they are married, Aldo,” Mattia states as he reads over the certificate.
“This would never have been approved of. Vigo hated your family.” He shakes his head at me.
“Why? I was in prison, remember? I had nothing to do with the bad blood between you all. Besides, he didn’t seem to hate me when he gave us his blessing. He even attended our ceremony, along with Alessio and my father. We only kept it quiet because my brother’s funeral was the next day. Vigo wanted to try and bring our families together. He said he was tired of all the fighting, and he felt he had lost his way. He trusted that me and Nova would be the beginning of a new era.”
“It was you who broke into my apartment and attacked me.” Aldo jolts, awareness hitting him.
“Now, why would I do that?”
“Because I—” He snaps his mouth shut, looking at Nova.
