ᯓ Amusement flashed across Aria’s face before Marcella asked another question about the butterfly featured in her book. They both focused on the image with a small frown and pursed lips, looking so much alike in that moment, my fucking heart throbbed harder. ᯓ

ᯓ Her eyes seemed to see all the way into my soul. She wanted to see for herself who I was and if I deserved her daughter. And fuck it made me more nervous than Luca’s murderous glare ever had. ᯓ

ᯓ Romero grimaced. “Few people stab themselves in the brain.”
“There’s always a first time for everything.” I chuckled but fell silent at a look from Luca. “Oh, come on,” I said. “It was funny.”
Luca’s lips twitched but he was too stubborn to admit I was right. ᯓ

ᯓ“Snow White, if we do this, I won’t ever let you go. I’ll be yours till I die. You can have my heart, my soul, my life, and everything else you want from me.”
“I’ll take them all,” she said haughtily before her face softened and those luscious lips pulled into a smile.
I set the glass down, wrapped one arm around Marcella’s slim waist and kissed herᯓ

ᯓ She was a goddess. As fierce as Hera and as beautiful as Aphrodite. I would follow her into Hades if she asked me. I was already halfway there anyway after I’d killed my uncle for her.ᯓ

ᯓ The door to the room opened at that moment, and Romero walked in, followed by Flavio and Matteo. Matteo, as Consigliere, would know every detail of what had happened.
“I want to be there,” Romero said firmly.
“So do I,” Flavio agreed. ᯓ

-`♡´- -`♡´- -`♡´-

ᯓ Not to mention that Romero and Flavio had the ability to look as if they didn’t have a long kill list. ᯓ

ᯓ Flavio said with a half smile. He sobered, his eyes on mine. Like Romero, he looked like a mother-in-law’s dream, all sonny boy and white dress shirts.ᯓ

Maximus pulled me toward the remains of the other truck. Before we even reached it, I could see blood pooling on the ground.
Cara ran in our direction, her expression filled with determination.
Maximus and I finally reached Growl. His calf was torn apart, but a belt around his thigh, right above the knee, seemed to have stopped the blood flow. “He’s alive!” Maximus shouted as he sank to his knees beside his father. He felt for his pulse and nodded, looking relieved. “He must have passed out after he stopped the blood flow.”
Cara threw herself down beside him and touched his cheeks. “Ryan? Ryan!”
Maximus removed his own belt and wrapped it around the thigh as well.
Growl opened his eyes and looked at his wife. Relief flooded me, and tears ran down my cheeks. Maximus squeezed my hand. “You okay?”
“I’m fine.”
He glanced at my belly. “What about her?”
“She is too.” ᯓ

ᯓ “Believe me, the flinching will make everyone believe the lie even more because I definitely wouldn’t have stopped flinching away from your touch if you’d taken what’s yours. The more I flinch, the more they’ll take you for the monster you want them to think you are.”
I chuckled. “I think you might know more about playing the game of power than I expected.”
“My father is Consigliere,” she said. Aria wasn’t only beautiful, she was also clever.ᯓ

ᯓ Perhaps he tried to shield me from the realities of mob life, but I was the daughter of the Outfit’s Consigliere. The mafia was in my blood. I knew it’s rules, it’s people. ᯓ

“I’ll behave, I promise,” I said eventually. Then I poured myself more wine, trying to come up with a plan to get some alone time with Romero. ᯓ

ᯓ “Maximus’ eyes reflected his own conflict.
“It’ll be worth it with Sara too.”
“I know,” he said quietly. “And I’m doing all I can to make it work.”
“Maybe she and Greta can become friends. Sara is pretty quiet and thoughtful like Greta.”
Maximus nodded. “That might work. She’s at her parents’ house today. Primo’s ᯓ

ᯓ I nodded grudgingly, knowing when to retreat for the moment. Mom and I would eventually convince him anyway. If Maddox could win Mom’s heart.ᯓ

ᯓ “Your mother said the same to me. Why are you girls making my life so difficult?”
I leaned against him. ᯓ

-`♡´- -`♡´- -`♡´-

ᯓ “It’s never easy for a father to see his daughter with a man but for someone like me seeing you with someone who was my enemy, that’s a major challenge, but I’m willing to tackle it for you and your mother.”
“Mom?”
“She wants me to make peace with Maddox.”
I wished Mom were here right now so I could hug her. ᯓ

ᯓ “She’s got you wrapped around her little finger,” Aria said with a laugh then kissed my collarbone and chest.
“Like her mother.”
Aria raised her eyebrows and I kissed her mouth before I touched her belly. ᯓ

ᯓ Aria lifted her hands and touched my cheek, warm and soft and careful. I blinked, my focus shifting to her face, to her fear-widened eyes, the barely contained terror in her expression. Man or monster?
I dipped my face down into the crook of her neck and breathed in her flowery scent, feeling her pulse throbbing against my lips. I concentrated on the feel of Aria’s palm against my cheek.
Aria was my wife. Mine to protect.
“Luca?”
I peered at her face. I wouldn’t be a monster with her. I shoved off her and quickly moved into the bathroom. ᯓ

-`♡´- -`♡´- -`♡´-

ᯓ Aria watched me warily. I needed to be close to her, needed her to get rid of this fucking darkness for me. ᯓ
