“Nico?”
I stop in the doorway and turn my head slightly. “Emelia, you knew your father was a bad man, and we don’t need to spin around in circles to talk about it. He fucked with my blood, so I took some of his,” I refer to her, and she doesn’t respond. I leave her and head to the shower.
I never planned on telling Emelia everything. I was just going to give her the basics and then execute the majority of my plan on my own. But now she can help me.
My parents’ story isn’t her business. She knows the general outline, and that’s all she will ever need. Besides, the look in her eyes when we shared that orgasm felt too deep, and I can't have her or me getting confused on what this is.
Distance. I have to create distance.
Which lasts a mere hour.
I showered and left the room so Emelia could take her turn, then headed to my office to get some work done. I’m balls-fucking-deep in paperwork for the club, when there’s a knock on my door.
“Sir, I think you need to see this.” Giulio steps inside with a folder in his hand, and I pinch the bridge of my nose.
“What fucking now?” I yank the folder from his hands and plop it down on my desk. That's when I open what I wish I’d never seen.
My wife.
My wife naked.
My wife naked in bed with another man.
My wife with Damian during intimate acts, and attached is a list of all the websites these photos currently reside on.
“Who put these up?” I growl, my skin heating and my mind becoming nothing but fog. The only thing I can see clearly is revenge.
Bloody fucking revenge.
“Damian Rafael, sir. He’s in the warehouse as we speak.”
I stand, and my chair flies backward, slamming into the window so hard I’m truly surprised it didn't shatter or even crack. I want to tear him apart. Remove each finger one by fucking one. And then when I’m done with that, I will cut his throat.
I will do all this with Emelia watching. I want her close enough the blood will splatter her clothes.
“Go ahead. Emelia and I will be there shortly.”
I make my way to the bedroom. That's where I find her in just a towel, preparing her clothes for bed.
“Get dressed. We have plans.” I leave the room, and she frantically calls after me, but I ignore her.
“Nico! Where are we going? It's late!”
That's the last thing I hear before everything goes silent. I only see red.
CHAPTER TEN
EMELIA
I'm left there alonein the shower after Nico took one himself, standing beneath the water in my nakedness with my wayward thoughts. Confused, hurt, and worried.
Tonight, I chose Nico over my father, and while I know what that will cost me, I had no idea he was using me just like my father was. They both wanted me as some sort of chess piece in their match. Before tonight, Nico never let on that he wanted me to be the demise of my father. It was always “be strong,” “be the wife of a mafia boss,” and “don’t show weakness,” but never anything about taking down my father.
I was always supposed to beNico’sdownfall.
What was I supposed to do though?
After what my father did to me, I reclaimed my power in the most monumental way.
