“That was… Wow. Thank you for taking care of me.”
And then she scolded Alessio Fucking Ferraro like he’s a kid in middle school instead of the biggest psychopath in New York City.
I miss her. I want her. Not as a fucking friend. Just as fucking mine.
Do you really think I’m just going to give up on us after I got a second chance to make you mine?”
“Baby…”
“This is a mistake. I don’t want this.”
BOOOOOO
BITCH BC U LOVE HIM???!!!!! UGH BLAKE I HATE U RN
The object of my obsession blushes a pretty pink.
“Because I’m obsessed with you, baby. Haven’t you realized that by now?”
I’ve…forgiven him. And I’m starting to trust him. I can tell that he’s trying to do right by me, even at a great personal cost.
“When are you going to understand that other women don’t exist for me anymore? There’s only you. There will only ever be you.”
“I could take care of you so well,” he murmurs. “It pains me to see you suffer in those soaking panties.”
“I fucking love you.”
“But, Sunshine, the more I see you fight the feelings that are trying to burst out of you, the more determined I become. I will wait for you for however long it takes. I’d rather face your scornful looks and your righteous anger than exist in a world where you’re not mine.”
I press my forehead to hers. “You’re it for me. You are my first love. And you are my last.”
What I want is Nero—a criminal who’d die for me, who’d kill for me, who’d give up everything for me.
I told you it would be even better if I talked you through it.
“Sandro used his last moments to save my wife’s life. And I’ll always be grateful to him for that.”
That oversized T-shirt that she’s wearing as a dress looks familiar… One of mine. Fucking adorable.
OH!
I empty the entire clip into Ekaterina until she collapses to the ground.
THATS MY GIRL YUP!!
“You signed your death warrant the moment you made a move on my wife,”
WE NEED A ALESSIO BOOK ASAP
NAURRRR
Inside me, something shatters. He’s letting me leave. I went to all these lengths to get my own way out, thinking he’d never have the capacity to do this. And he’s proven me wrong.
I love him, but it’s not him I’m running from. I’m running from the person I’ve become living in his world. So I say the words, knowing I can never take them back. “I'll leave tomorrow.”
OMG IM GOING TO KILL M Y S E L F
Don’t go. Please don’t go. Choose me. I know I’m not perfect, but I will spend the rest of my days loving you better than anyone else ever can. I’ll make all of the darkness that comes with me worth it. I promise.
BECAUSE ITS NOT THE RIGHT THING
“But where there’s darkness, there’s light. And just like you listed all the light you see in Nero, I’m sure he could tell you all the light he sees in you. He’s probably the one who sees it better than anyone, because he needs it.”
“thank you mama cleo” we all say in unison
“That man you’ve always wanted to be? A protector, a provider, a man who people respect? You are him, but not because you’re a mobster.
“Sunshine,” I breathe. “You came back.” She smiles, her eyes glistening. “I did. I couldn’t get on that plane. I couldn’t leave you.”
“When you left, you took a piece of me with you,” I whisper. “The most vital one.” “I know. And now I’m here to give it back.” She folds her hands over my heart.
The bedroom where my wife belongs.
It’s the fact that I’m getting to rewrite the story of how I married the man I love.
It’s been two months since Blake chose me. Two months of pure fucking bliss.
“Wherever you go, I go, Sunshine. Always.”
Because at the end of the day, I don’t want easy or safe. I just want him.
