Kindle Notes & Highlights
One, Dante was going to be my fiancé. Two, we might kill each other before we ever made it to the altar.
Whether I liked her or not, Vivian was my fiancée, and I was getting damn tired of hearing her name leave his mouth.
On your nightstand, you’ll find her number, a black Amex, and your engagement ring. Wear it.”
“Non osare farmi una ramanzina quando sono stata io a pulirti il culo da piccolo.” Don’t lecture someone who changed your diapers.
“If you want to fire me, fire me. But I know there’s a heart in there somewhere, ragazzo mio. Use it and treat your future wife with respect.”
“Here I thought you only ate caviar and human hearts.”
Vivian’s laugh evoked a strange sensation in my chest. Heartburn? Investigate later.
Forget the way his muscles flexed with each movement or the way his shirt hugged his torso. He was committing a crime against humanity right before my eyes.
Leaders who are out of touch are leaders who fail.”
“Next time you want to mark your ‘territory,’ you might as well urinate in a circle around me,” Vivian said after Kai left. “It’ll be more subtle.”
“You forget.” I pressed my fingers against her nape, forcing her to look up at me. “You’re my fiancée. Not Kai’s. Not anyone else’s. I don’t give a fuck how handsome they are or what type of accent they have. You’re mine, and no one…” I dipped my head, my lips brushing hers with each word. “Touches what’s mine.”
“This is business. And if there’s one thing I take seriously, it’s my investments.”
All I knew was, in the icy aftermath of the robbery, his voice and embrace were the only things keeping me warm.
“How does he look at me?” Janis smiled. “Like he never wants to look away.”
“Were you born with a smart mouth, or did your parents buy it for you after their first million?”
But I’d also never met anyone like Vivian. Of all the people in my life, she was the only one who could make me lose control.
Greta’s eyes gleamed. “When someone offers you bribery, it’s rude not to take it.”
“You don’t touch her. You don’t talk to her. You don’t even fucking think about her. If you do, I’ll break every fucking bone in your body until your own mother won’t recognize you. Understand?”
“I hate the idea of you touching anyone else, or anyone else touching you. I hate that other people can make you laugh in a way I can’t. I hate how I feel around you, like you’re the only person that can make me lose control when I. Don’t. Lose. Control.”
“You want to know the truth, Vivian? If I loved you as much as he claims to love you, nothing would’ve stopped me from keeping you.”
I’d kissed my fair share of men over the years, but none had ever kissed me like this.
His body was sculpted with such perfection I half expected to find Michelangelo’s signature lurking on one of his chiseled abs.
“And God, I want to punish you for driving me so damn crazy. Every. Single. Day.”
If I set aside my intense dislike for her family, being with her was like breathing.
I like you because of you, not because of your money.
She’s my fiancée. If you step foot near her again, if you so much as breathe in her direction…”
“I will burn you, your house, and your entire fucking company to the ground. Understand?”
