Henry

We drive back home in silence.

Georgiou is looking like he was going to pop a nerve.

And me?

I don’t know what the fuck to say, much less explain how I feel.

I also wouldn’t know what I should start worrying about first.

Should it be the fact I’ve been screwing around with Donny’s daughter for the last three weeks?

Donny, the same guy who handed me a platter of wealth that got me back in my father’s good graces.

Or maybe I should worry about the fact that Iboughthis daughter in a virgin auction. I paid money for her pussy, and she signed her body away to Georgiou and me.

Fuck.

I assured my father I didn’t plan to disappoint him ever again, but look at it now, the same problem I had before might screw with me.

Me and my dick and the idea to buy a girl for the month was mine. Not Georgiou’s. He was the sensible one. The one who said we have too much shit on our plate to deal with, and we shouldn’t have a girl.

But I convinced him and enticed him to take her virginity.

I could worry over those two things destroying my ass, but most of all, what gets me is how I feel about Evie.

When we walk into the house, Georgiou still hasn’t said a fucking word to me.

I get to see how he feels, though, when he walks over to the ugly ass vase his mother gave him for Christmas and throws it into the wall.

It smashes to pieces, and he sends the vase’s equally ugly paperweight along with it straight into the wall.

The last time he behaved that way was when he let Priscilla go.

He’d just found out they lost their baby, and she wanted to call off their engagement.

“I’m going out,” he says, marching past me.

“Fuck you,” I shout, and he whirls back around to face me. “You’re not even going to talk about what happened?”

Of all the things that get on my nerves around him, this is the worst.

He just shuts down when there’s a problem, goes on some rampage, then hides in his fucking cave. He only comes back when he’s cooled off.

This time is different, though.

“What the fuck do you want me to say? What happened speaks for itself. People like me don’t make these kinds of mistakes. I should have checked her out from the get-go.”

“And I shouldn’t have encouraged you to go to the auction.”

“Man, fuck that. You make it sound like it’s the first time we’ve bought a girl. We’re always doing shit like that. She gave herself away at hello—EvangelineMontrose. We both noticed she stumbled over her surname and did nothing about it. That might be fine for you, not for me, though. I grew up knowing to pay attention to shit like that. People get killed for less than that, but I let it slide. Now look at the shit we’re in. You know what’s going to happen if Donny finds out what we did?”

“Of course I fucking know. If my father finds out, and Donny pulls his business he’s given us, that’s it for my father and me.”

“Mine will be the fucking same too because Donny is the biggest investor at Giordanos Inc. Most of the contracts we have are with him or contracts who work with him. If he goes, they all go, and I’m fucked. At least your family will be able to recoup, but it’s different for me. I don’t want to be responsible for bringing down my family's legacy, and not when I was just about to make my own.”
