Silence takes over the air.
“She’ll be your weakness.”
“Amara is my only weakness.”
“You’re right. Gigi isn’t your weakness. She’s your death wish.”
I wasn’t as sly as I’d hoped on my mission to hunt down Gigi. Unbeknownst to Damien, in the beginning, he helped me. I’d told him to find the pilot who flew to Italy that day. He did.
Cristian might’ve paid a hefty sum for the pilot to keep his mouth shut, but blackmail always trumps money. All we had to do was show him a picture of him ass-fucking the nanny, and he provided every detail we wanted. Then it took me anothertwenty grand to bribe people to find where Gigi was staying and where her aunt lives.
I set my glass down. “I’m going for a drive.”
“Any woman,” he mutters. “You could have any woman you want,but one. And you chose her.”
I fucked up with Gigi.
Last night, I spent the drive to her cottage arguing with my father over his frustration about mylittle field trip, then Vinny, then a deal gone wrong. I eventually hung up on him. When I walked into Gigi’s, I anticipated reprieve from the chaos. Instead, she wanted to talk about the source of it. Frustrated, I treated her like one of the lowlifes I deal with on a daily basis.
I hide outside her cottage while waiting for everyone to go to bed.
For two hours.
Fucking stalker-style, just as she said.
Giana Marchetti is a habit I can’t shake.
Is it because she’s forbidden?
I told her I wouldn’t come back if she kicked me out. As the Lombardi most known for keeping his word, I failed.
Last night, I saw a different side of Gigi.
Like me, this woman I’ve grown obsessed with has a ruthless side.
I can’t wait to bring out more darkness inside her. Anyone with Marchetti blood inside them can’t survive without the wickedness of it. She’s witnessed her father, her brother, and I’m sure every man in her life do horrific shit. It was bound to rub off on her.
As soon as Bruno’s light shuts off, I walk to Gigi’s door.
I’m choosing her over death.
My Grim Reaper has black hair, an ass to die for, and a heart I want to rip apart.
Her door is locked.
Too bad my little pain in the ass doesn’t know locks never stop me.
Bank vaults. Security alarms. Cryptocurrency mines.
All simple to break into if you know what you’re doing.
I can pick a locked door in my sleep.
I grin when the door clicks open.
Surprise, princess.
