He felt Bugsy was too impulsive, and this was exactly why. He might even pass him up to officially run the casino after this. All Bugsy ever truly wanted. It all depended on the fallout.

He ran a hand down his face. “Not happy. He gambled with my future, Big. Made me throw the dice, let that decide whether I was in or out of Paradiso’s future. If the dice would have landed a breath the other way, I’d be banished to New York. New York!”

No one could ever accuse Giordano Capitani of fitting in in New York. He was Vegas through and through.

“What happened after you rolled the dice?”

He sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. “Marriage.”

“To who?” Since his eyes were closed, I grinned some. “And when?”

“To whom has been taken care of. As of when?” He opened his desk drawer and produced a gold wedding band. “Done.”

“Who is she?”

A knock came at his office door. He told whoever it was to come in.

She looked between us. “Oh. I’ll—”

“I remember you.” A shit-eating grin came to my face. She worked at Dynamic.

ABOUT AMIDST THE CHAOS

I do

A vow I am expected to embrace. Marry high, strengthen ties…be a good wife.

The when and where would be arranged as meticulously as my life had been.

And my husband-to-be...Ronan Michaels.

Enforcer to the Brayford syndicate, a man I despise but will have to learn to obey.

A man who is as devoted to his boss as he is to handing out pain.
