“Enough to know she trusts you. That’s one of the reasons I kept you alive.”
Silence fills the room,
“Deal.” He offers me his hand. I hesitate before grabbing it.
“Well,partner, what is our first move?”
If I didn’t like this asshole so much, I’d punch him again in his perfectly sculpted jaw.
“Looks like I have a wedding to plan, to a rottweiler of a woman, plotting my death.” I roll my eyes.
“We won’t let them kill you. At least, we will make it hard for them.”
I push back from the table. “Looks like we will make a good team, after all.”I grab the door, the fresh air hitting me.
Frankie pours himself another drink. “Yeah, because we are both ruthless assholes.”
I chuckle. He’s right.
CHAPTERTHIRTY-ONE
luca
Dread weighs in my stomach as I push open the front door to my mansion. I know what I have to do, even if it’s the last thing Iwantto do.
The war with the Falcones might be over, but this is the start of a whole new battlefront.
Luca Russo and Frankie Falcone, taking over the world. Step one, taking the power from the Capris and protecting my family. Which means I can’t keep her.
I suck in a breath, quietly closing the door behind me.
This will be the last time I get to have her there.
I creep my way up the grand staircase and head towards the bedroom, shrugging off my Armani suit jacket and resting it over the banister. My door is ajar, so I peer through. A peaceful Rosa snuggled up, her long jet-black curls fanning over the pillows.
I slip in through the door and remove my clothes, putting them on the black leather chair in the corner, and get into bed next to her. As soon as the mattress dips, she stirs next to me, making my cock twitch at the sweet little moans that escape her plump lips.
She nuzzles into my chest, so I wrap her tiny frame into mine, pulling her as close as I can.
“You’re home,” she whispers. I bury my nose in the top of her head, inhaling her vanilla scent and closing my eyes.
Home.
This is our home. For one more day.
“No matter what happens next,my treasure, you will always be my home,” I say, meaning every single word.
She plants a soft kiss to my stubbly jaw. A single tear falls from my eye.
The day I kidnapped her, I never thought she would steal my heart in return. I believed she was a typical wild child, a spoiled mafia princess. How wrong I was.
I just pray to fucking God tomorrow won’t send her spiralling back into the life I found her in. Where she masks her pain to stop the world from seeing her weakness.
After everything she’s been through, I don’t blame her for turning to the bottle to help ease the torture eating her up from the inside. If I could go back in time and stop that asshole from abusing her, I would do it in a heartbeat. I wish I could delve into her brain and erase the memories. I would gladly take on every single ounce of heartache for her.
She truly doesn’t realize how special she is.
Her warm breath blows against my chest as I close my eyes and slip into what I know will be my last night of peaceful sleep.
