“I wouldn’t say shocked. I just didn’t think about it.” I giggle. “I was just thinking how nice it’ll be to untie your hair.”

He grins. “I like it, but just know the tying up part is still on the table.”

I swat his chest. “We’ll see.”

“Mrs. Moretti, you impress me every day.”

His words make me warm all over.

“Ditto.”

We make our way to the first floor, where the SUV is waiting.

“I didn’t even ask, but where is the meeting?”

Alessandro told me that the Brotherhood owns properties across the world, but since we’re not headed to the airstrip, it must be somewhere local. He rattles off the name of a famous hotel here in Vegas.

My lips part. “Does the Brotherhood own the hotel?”

“They do.”

“Wow. I’m shocked.”

“This is just the tip of the iceberg. Castles, massive estates, super yachts. The Brotherhood owns a lot of them.”

“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, you hear all kinds of rumors about secret societies.”

“Some of those rumors are true and some aren’t.”

“Do they run the country?”

He snorts. “Which country?”

“What about Hollywood?” At his nod, I ask, “Sports?”

“They have their hand in a lot of things.”

“Wow. This is wild.”

And my husband is one of the top men. Wow. Just wow.

We arrive at the hotel and are ushered inside. I look around in awe. It’s crazy to think that the Brotherhood owns something like this. I mean, it’s one of the most famous hotels in Vegas.

Alessandro says, “This way, Isa.”

I follow him through the casino toward the convention center. I guess it makes sense that the meeting is being held here. Alessandro mentioned that there are over three-hundred members around the world. It’s not like they can all fit in a regular sized conference room.

A man opens the doors to the convention center hallway and says, “Greetings, Elite Member Moretti.” He turns to me. “Mrs. Moretti.”

Alessandro doesn’t seem surprised or weirded out by this interaction. He dips his head at the man as we pass, and the man bows in return. Actually bows.

“Will everyone address you as Elite Member Moretti?”

He laughs. “Yes,Dolcezza.”

“Will they all bow?”

“Most of them will.”
