She’s got her legs crossed, dangling over the side of the mattress as she sits in a tight, short red dress. Her long black curls fall over her shoulders as she smiles, straightening her spine.
Is he fucking stupid?
“Pussy for pussy,” he says, and I shake my head. “You go back to the family and tell them you got it wrong. Fix the fucking mess and mockery you’ve made of my name. You have one last chance, Niccolò. One.”
He unbuttons the top button of his shirt and moves his neck from side to side.
“Never,” I tell him. Needing to know nothing else.
Although, I do need to know more, don’t I?
Why the fuck does this bastard want Evelina so much?
“Is it because she and Sofia got out from under your fucking hold?” I ask. “What is with the fascination with women who aren’t yours to have?”
I try to yank my hands free of the bindings, but the fucking rope is tied so tightly I can’t even get the damn thing to budge. Not even slightly.
“You don’t get to be privy to the ins and outs of my deals anymore. You fucked that up when you ripped the Amato Family apart for no goddamn reason.”
I hadeveryfucking reason.
But the asshole is right. I’m in no position right now. I don’t want to hold my tongue, but Evelina’s life is hanging in the fucking balance right now.
The baby’s life.
A baby I haven’t allowed myself to think too much about because I ruin beautiful fucking things. And what’s the goddamn definition of beautiful? Innocent?
A child.
“You can either take this deal, take this woman in exchange for the Greco bitch, and continue building your bullshit empire on my coattails. Or you can lose out on both women, and you’ll also become my prisoner. Either way, Evelina is coming with me. You can get this new, younger pussy, or you can leave empty-handed. Actually…”
He stops as if he’s pondering something. Then, he looks from his men, to the woman, and back to me, laughing maniacally. His two greedy fucking palms go to his stomach as he doubles over, cackling like a nutjob.
“Actually, I don’t know why I was even giving you a choice. I must be losing my touch because I just realized I don’t owe you shit. Whoever carries on the Amato name once you’re gone, even fucking little Matteo, will be better than you. Fucking scum. You fucking spoiled, rotten, devil of a child. All three of you are coming with me,” he says, motioning between Svetlana and me.
Where the fuck is Evelina?
My fucking heart clamors around in my chest as I think about how to get out of this. There is no way I’d have taken that fucked-up deal of his. He can take me and Evelina both, and then I’ll figure out a way out of this for both of us, but there will be no fucking separating us.
Not this time.
“Why do you want Evelina so badly, Gabriel?” I ask as he starts moving about the room and instructing his goons to pack up the shit they’ve brought with them.
Gabriel stops suddenly, as if my words hit him.
He never was one to keep his mouth closed because he’s always been too cocky.
It’s why our enemies have had legs up on us multiple times.
With a sickening smile, one I’ve seen too many times on the old bastard, he says, “Because the bitch has something that belongs to me.”

EVELINA
My body aches as the cloth is ripped from my head.
Light assaults my vision as I blink away the stinging until I can finally see clearly.
