King of Greed (Kings of Sin, #3)

by Ana Huang

I needed to keep busy because every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alessandra. Alessandra, her face streaked with tears. Alessandra, on a date with that fucker Aiden and his stupid fucking beard.

“I understand.” A stranger’s voice carried my words. It was too rough, too raw to be mine, but it was the only thing I had, so I used it. “If you need time, take it. If you

want to date other people, do it. I won’t interfere. I didn’t appreciate you when I had you, and that’s my cross to bear. But you’ll always be the love of my life, and I’ll always be here, whether it’s a month, a year, or a lifetime from now.” The sound of her sob dampened my cheek with something hot and wet. “There are probably hundreds of men who’d line up for the chance to be with you. I only ask that you let me be one of them.”
