I did know, but the words still hurt. It sounded like I had no importance to him at all. “I didn’t think we were going to see one here. I also didn’t know she was going to be this bitchy. She literally flirted with you in front of me.”

“I did turn her down, didn’t I?”

I shrugged. “Well, yes, but still.”

He grasped my chin with his hand and looked into my eyes. “But still what?”

“It still affected me. I am sorry for not being logical like you.”

Antonio kissed my forehead, surprising me. Even this was a big thing to do for him in public. “Never apologize for something like this.” Then he added. “Please.”

I took a deep breath. “Okay.” Then my eyes moved to look at Mia and Sal, but instead, I saw Jennifer again. My blood was legit boiling in my veins with hatred. I wanted to be the wife Antonio wanted, but there was no way I could let this go. It was just not me. Many people only saw the happy, energetic Priscilla, but my ugly side was also powerful. It was impossible to stop that side when it was poked, and Jennifer did a great job at that.

I rose on my tiptoes and kissed the edge of Antonio’s jaw. “You go to Salvatore and Mia. I just need to powder my nose.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“Of course,” I nodded, and it was not a lie. This bathroom trip was just going to solve all of my problems. I was going to make sure of it.

As I walked towards the bathroom, my usual self slipped away from me quickly, and the side that not many people knew started to arise. The ugly Priscilla came into view, and she was going to get the job done.

I managed to catch Jennifer and opened the door before she had a chance to lock it behind her.

“What are you doing here?” she asked with the same disgust in her eyes from before. I wanted to gauge those eyes and feed them to her.

A deadly smile appeared on my face as I locked the door and turned to her. “Well, I felt like we didn’t get to properly meet. You were so fascinated by my husband that you ignored me completely.”

For some reason, my words brought a glimmer to her eyes. The side of her lip curled up. “Oh, but how can I not get fascinated? Don’t you think he is the most beautiful man ever?Everythingis so huge about him.”

“Yeah, that’s why I married him.”

Jennifer didn’t care about my words, though. She was still ignoring me and had no idea how dangerous that was. “He could be the best I have ever had. Oh, and especially thattongue.” She moaned loudly.

God, I wanted to kill her right here. I wanted to kill every woman and man that might have touched Antonio before me. I wanted all of them gone.

She didn’t take my angry silence very well and pushed further. “You know I never thought Antonio was going to end up with a fatty.”

I stepped closer to her as I felt my hatred filling my eyes. “I feel like you really don’t understand who you are messing with, Jennifer. I don’t care who you are fucking, but you will leave my husband alone.”

She lifted an eyebrow. “Is that so?”

“Yes, it is,” I said, getting closer and trapping her between me and the wall. She was taller than me but also thinner. I could tell she never even had to hit someone in her life. “I think you don’t know who I am.” I slowly touched her shoulder and moved my hand to her throat. She went tense but didn’t move. “I am a Mazzoni now, and before that, I was a Falzone. Even if those words mean nothing to you, I am sure you know what our business is.”

She tried to nod, but my hand was still on her throat. She didn’t even try to push me back. She was all show.

“Good,” I answered with a smile that no doubt was freaky as hell. “I was born into this world, Jennifer. I am not a talker. I do it. So, you are not going to touch my husband, talk to my husband, look at my husband, or even think about my husband. If you do, you will be very sorry. I will make sure of that.” I leaned into her ear. “Do you like thattonguemore than your life, Jennifer?”

She swallowed under my hand and whispered. “No.”

“Then you are going to stay away from my husband, right?” I asked, squeezing her throat at the same time.

“I will.”

“Atta girl.”

I let her throat go and turned towards the door of the bathroom but came to a halt just before I was about to unlock it. I turned back to Jennifer, watching horror fill her face. “Also, about the fatty part,” I said and smiled devilishly. “He really likes the additional weight when I sit on his face.”

Then I left her there terrified.
