Her head jerks back in shock, and I try not to take it personally. “Marriage so soon?” she questions with wide eyes. My temper simmers.
“Do you have a better offer?” I bristle, crossing my arms over my chest. I can’t help my lips pursing as I try not to narrow my eyes at her.
She tilts her head, leveling me with an amused grin. I hate it. She walks to me, and I want to turn from her.
“You’re taking what I’m saying wrong,” she says, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “My father was in no hurry to allow me to marry before. It caught me off guard.”
“When it comes to your life, he seems to be more agreeable to the terms, I suppose,” I counter, trying like hell not to allow hope to dig its tiny claws into me. Hope is a slippery slope. I believe in facts and hard proof. Until Gia is married to me, I won’t allow hope to blind me.
She’s watching me with interest. Her gray eyes light up, her natural aura pulling me in like gravity. “What if he had said no?” she murmurs.
I swallow thickly. I didn’t have the opportunity to ask Nicoli. He hung up on me before I could. Not that it matters now. “I’d steal you anyway.” I give her my smirk, and it has a soft laugh escaping those perfect lips of hers.
“Your brother will be picking you up tonight.” The statement has my heart beating faster than normal.
“When will I see you again?”
“I’ll be coming with you to ensure my delivery goes smoothly, then I’m assuming to the wedding.”
I brush the few hairs away from her face. With Nicoli agreeing to marriage, I know with certainty that people are respecting me how they should.
I’m going toenjoy watching Romeo realize he’s being set up. I hate the little fucker. He’s as cocky as his father was. For once, people will be scared of the Campisi name. They’ll know not to fuck with us. There won’t be two Italian families in Texas soon. One family will rule, as it should have been generations ago. It won’t be long before both the Mancini and the Rossi’s are eliminated.
I pick up my phone as I drive away. “Luca, you have two hours to get your sister before I change my mind.”
