My mother looks at me and smiles. Her smile makes me ill. She just goes through the pain and suffers.
“You dumb bitch, open this door!” He screams and something in me shifts.
I touch the pocketknife in my pocket and wonder what I should do. Should I kill him? But I can’t take care of my mother and I alone. Fuck.
Chapter 5
Several Days Later
Kyro
Although our wedding ceremony is scheduled for the end of the month, Reyna and I are officially married today. With Reyna and I married, the Bratva will trust my judgment in bringing her in. Also, she can never testify against me in court.
“Prince,” I call.
He looks up from his book. “What’s up?”
“Can you help me pick out a ring for your mother?” I ask. “I have a few I designed, but I want you to look.”
He smiles brightly, as always. “Seriously? Let’s go now!” He exclaims in excitement.
What Prince doesn’t realize is that this is a ploy. I have already chosen a ring for Reyna months ago, but I need to get Prince out of the house. He turns ten years old today. I arranged a birthday party with all the children of my men.
Prince will join me to pick out another band for her ring. I want it to be a representation of us moving forward together as a family. Ivan is Prince’s father, and I will never let Prince forget that, but Prince is now my son as well, and I want him to feel included in every step Reyna and I take together.
Reyna
Kyro throws Prince a surprise party for his tenth birthday and it’s a sweet move on his part, but it’s a bittersweet moment. Ivan is not here with his son to wake him up with presents. He did that every year. Izzy will fly out for Prince’s birthday. I’m excited to see her. I don’t know anyone here and I’m not exactly in the mood to make any friends. The role I play in Kyro’s life is unknown to me. Ever since the dinner with my parents a few days ago, he’s been keeping his distance.
A knock comes on the front door, which takes me out of my thoughts. One of Kyro’s men opens the door. Izzy walks through it in awe.
I spotted her from upstairs and ran down quickly into her arms.
“Fucking finally!” I whine.
Izzy is still in shock. “Why the fuck is your house so big?”
“Kyro has a big family, so they also live here on the estate. It’s nice here.” I explain without saying too much.
Izzy crosses her arms. “You’re insane. You know that, right?”
“I know…” I sigh.
“I cannot believe you’re marrying this guy. You guys met a couple of days ago. I mean…I get it…el gringois fucking hot and I’m sure he looks even better without those expensive suits.” She giggles. “How is he in bed?”
“We haven’t fucked yet,” I confess. I mean, yeah, he ate me out, but…that doesn’t count.
Izzy looks at me confused, “Why?”
When she asked, I didn’t have an answer. “I don’t know…” I respond.
“Do you love him? I mean, you must want to marry him.”
“I don’t,” I answer quickly. It’s true, I don’t love him. The only man I love is gone. Kyro is following Ivan’s last wishes. We built our situation on the loyalty we have for the same person and nothing else.
Izzy gets a bit quiet, and I change the conversation. “Let’s help set up. Kyro invited kids that are about Prince’s age. They should get here soon. Kyro took Prince somewhere, but they will be back within the hour.”
