“Cam, we need to get going soon. Alessandro has texted, he wants you home.” I huff at Sergio’s summons from Al.
“Dick,” I whisper to the girls as we have a group hug.
They both giggle.
“Well, my bastard of a gentlemen requires my presence.” I snip.
I say goodbye to the girls and head back to the apartment with Sergio.
“You’ll be okay?” Sergio grips my arm before I step into the private elevator.
“I’ll be okay, it’s just going to take some getting used to,” I nod solemnly.
“You know you can’t run from him every time he upsets you, right?”
I grit my teeth and nod at Sergio as he defends my husband.
Men will be men and all that.
I thought Sergio would always have my back. I’m quickly realizing that the only people in this fucked up world that will be there for me, is myself and my girls.
Without another word, I step in and press the button. As the doors close, Sergio must see the hurt on my face.
“Cam,” he calls.
I just shake my head as the doors close.
When I step into the apartment it’s silent. Al turns from his place at the island and stalks over to me.
“Where have you been?” he demands.
“I thought I wasn’t a prisoner?” I snip as I storm past him to grab a bottle of water from the fridge.
“You’re not a fucking prisoner. I just don’t appreciate not knowing where my wife is.”
“You knew I was with Sergio and going for a run, therefore, by definition, you knew where I was.” I shrug as I make my way toward our room.
I desperately need a shower.
“Don’t play games with me, Carmella. I know you called the girls. I spoke with Leo,” he growls.
“Sorry, I needed to tell someone about my sleazebag husband. The girls are all I have to confide in.” I sniff as I try to hold back the tears.
I start to take off my gym wear in the bedroom. I’m not shy around him. He’s seen me naked, he’s seen me at my most vulnerable. Getting undressed in front of him gives me an air of confidence.
“Fuck, Cam, she’s lying. She’s a conniving bitch.” He shakes his head.
“How long did you think you could hide her from me, Al? I mean, I knew about her before. But I honestly thought you thought more of me. I don’t condone you sleeping with other women. I know most men in our world do it. Can I stop you? No. But as long as you’re taking other women to bed, I won’t share one with you.”
“Cam, we—”
I hold up my hand to cut him off.
“I haven’t finished,” I glare. “Will I tolerate a mistress? Absolutely fucking not! I’m to be the mother of your child. Show me some respect. Although, from this morning’s conversation, so is she.”
I turn and storm into the bathroom and get in the shower.
I let out a squeal when I feel his hard chest flush against my back. His hand wraps around my waist and the other cups my throat.
