Bound by Duty (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #2)

by Cora Reilly

“So you didn’t mind the company of prostitutes, but you can’t take your own wife’s virginity?”

“I just thought…” I trailed off. “You usually approach me only when you want to sleep with me.” Dante exhaled, then shook his head. “Would you like me to keep you company until you fall asleep?”

The next day my gynecologist confirmed my pregnancy and that I was seven weeks along.

Only pregnancy trope I don’t mind

“You’re so busy honoring her memory and protecting the image of her you have in your mind that you don’t realize how badly you’re treating me. You lost your first wife through no fault of your own, but you will be losing me because you can’t let go of her.”

You tell him girl

“I’ll move into the guest bedroom. There isn’t enough room in our bedroom for me and the memories of your past. If you ever decide you want to give this marriage a chance, then you can come to me and apologize for what you said. Until then, I’m done with us.”

as I stared into the face of my first husband.

WHAT??? HES ALIVE

“It’s too risky for us to attack Dante in the open. We don’t want an open war. Once Dante is out of the way,

She best not betray Dante for that scum

Goodbye.

YESSSSSS

Despite everything Dante had said and done, he was my husband and I had come to love him, no matter how stupid that made me.

“You know what’s strange?” I whispered thickly. “At one point, I thought I could never love someone as I loved Antonio, no matter how unrequited that love was. And today I’m condemning him to his death for another man who will never love me back.”

“Please,” I said quietly. “Make love to me. Just today. I know you don’t love me. Pretend, just for tonight. Hold me in your arms for once.”

knew many women in our world preferred a beautiful lie to the harsh truth any day, and for the first time, I understood. After all that had happened today, I allowed myself that weakness. Tomorrow would be the time to face reality.

This was the second man I’d condemned to death. This time, however, I felt no guilt.

LET HER BE FREE AND GET HER HAPPY ENDING I WANT TO READ IT!!!

“I fear you’re saying that because you know I won’t punish you,” Dante said, a dark smile on his lips. “You won’t?” Dante kissed me hard,

Cute

“You’re bleeding,” Bibiana whispered. She was right. My pants had a light red tinge. My vision swam.

If she’s had a miscarriage I’ll cry

“I don’t give a fuck about the seat, or the car, or anything right now. You are all that matters.”

It’s a girl.”

She has the baby and it wasn’t a miscarriage whoop!!!
