“What are you getting out of this?” I ask him. “Out of what?” he says. “This whole marriage deal? What are you getting out of my father?” “You,” he tells me. I laugh. “You did not agree to an arranged marriage for nothing, Carlo. What is the deal?” “We’re creating an alliance between two organizations. But you didn’t ask that. You asked what I get, and what I get is you,” he says it like it’s something he actually wants. “And you expect me to believe that you want me?” I almost giggle at the thought. “I don’t give a fuck if you believe it or not, Antonia. It’s the truth.”
