A Sinner's Promise (De Bellis Crime Family, #1)

by Kylie Kent

There’s a woman sniffling right behind me. I turn my head and glare at her. She can’t see it, though, thanks to the dark glasses. “You were nothing but a cheap whore he used to fuck whenever he felt the need. Don’t sit here and pretend you’re anything else. Dry the fucking waterworks. It’s pathetic,” I hiss at her.

“We’re friends first.” “We’re not…” Gio holds up a hand. “I swear to God, Ellie, finish that thought and I’m going to come over there and show you along with everyone else in this bar just how fucking friendly we are,” he grunts.

“So, how about Friday?” “What about Friday?” I thought the question was obvious but I explain anyway. “For this date.” “Sorry, can’t. I’m busy.” “Doing what?” “Laundry,” she tells me.

She has this thing about me not watching her on the toilet. I couldn’t care less to be honest, but she hates it.
