I don’t share what’s mine, and Aria is mine. Only mine. She’s under my protection from this day on.”

Fuck. I never wanted to marry, never wanted a woman at my side, in my life. But now I had a wife, a wife who didn’t want my touch when all I could do was think about touching her.

I’d have thought she would be happy if I left her alone and looked for another woman, like so many wives in our circles were.

“You are far too beautiful and innocent to be married to someone like me, but I’m too much of a selfish bastard to ever let you go. You are mine. Forever.”

Fuck, Aria, you were meant to be our guarantee for truce, not more.

“I told you, you have no reason to fear me. I’ll protect and take care of you. I’ll give you anything you want and need.”

Love is a weakness a Capo can’t afford. My father’s words rang loud and clear in my head.

“I’m that kind of man, Aria. Don’t kid yourself into believing I’m a good man. I’m neither noble nor a gentleman. I’m a cruel bastard.”
