Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Never, and I mean ever, bow your head to anyone, Zara. Not even me. Not like this. You are a fucking queen, and you make them kneel before you.”
“You made your choice when you called me, angel. No turning back now. You will be coming back with me, and you will be under my complete protection, capiche, dolcezza?”
“I didn’t think you’d care that much.”
“I care. More than I’d like to admit to even myself, dolcezza.”
“Money doesn’t mean power with me, Zara. Take my card, max it out if you want. Buy something from a thrift store, I don’t care. I won’t ever have you going without. You’re unemployed, remember?”
“So something short, tight, and revealing?” I can sense the tease in her tone, I can’t help but growl at her words. “If you want anyone who looks at you to die, then go ahead, angel.” I pull back, my eyes searching hers. She isn’t remotely worried about my threats. In fact, that desire written across her face tells me the opposite. “You think that bothers me?” she says with a menacing grin. I swear my heart almost pounds out of my chest.
“I love you, Frankie. You brought me to life and I want to give you this, the family you deserve. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what. Even if you never love me completely, I know I’m enough for you. I know, in your own way, you love me, too.”
“In every single lifetime, it will always be you, Zara. I would go through the torture I’ve dealt with a thousand times over if it meant that you were my reward. You make everything worth it. Every ounce of pain I’ve ever felt was to bring me to you. My undying love for you is unquestionable. No matter what life throws at us. You, Zara. You are my inevitable, my love and my purpose.”
“I love you, Zara. With every part of me. Our future is not my past. It was never about that. It was purely out of my love for you.”
“You deserve your revenge.”
“We,” I answer. This is no longer just about me. “We will never be able to get back what we’ve lost. But we will burn the fucking world down to get ours, dolcezza. That, I promise you.”
