Kindle Notes & Highlights
Just like with my father, it’s time to end Terrero’s reign of horror.
I’m destroying her from within. I’m the Trojan horse she never saw coming.
I’m expertly skilled in both masks I wear. The Princess of Terror – who only cares about the luxuries the cartel can give her. Then there’s Isabella Terrero – the woman who spends her nights freeing slaves. The trained fighter who never misses a shot. The daredevil who knows no fear.
The corner of his mouth lifts again. “Family. Never thought I’d consider having kids.” “I’ll teach them how to shoot a gun,” I joke. Demitri’s smile widens. “You better, seeing as you’ll be their godfather.”
Again Alexei laughs. “Do you really want to deprive the world of the ecstasy you felt when I fucked you?” My left eyebrow shoots up. “Vain much?” “No, just confident.”
You’re strong enough to survive at my side, but how the fuck do I capture someone as wild as you?
I’ll make Isabella love me, marry her, and then she’ll be mine. Together we’ll rule the world.
Okay. Deep breaths. You love Isabella. Christ, so much for thinking I was the one in control. My breathing begins to speed up as I feel panic for the first time in my life. What if her memory returns and I lose her? What the fuck will I do then?
“Whatever happens in the future, I want you to remember this moment. I mean everything I’m going to say.”
“I fucking love everything about you. I could spend the next hour going into detail, but I won’t. I want you. All of you. I want you next to my side. I want to wage wars with you. I want to build empires with you. I want you in every new memory I make because there isn’t a woman on the face of this planet I respect more.”
“Mine. A fucking goddess belongs to me.” My lips curve up as I shake my head, and framing his jaw with my palms, I say, “No, a god belongs to me.”
“What do you want?” I ask, intimacy weaving a spell around us. “You naked every night.” He pushes a finger inside me, and a moan spills over my lips, then I breathe, “And?” “You by my side forever.” As Alexei’s mouth takes mine, my heart fills with warmth, and it slowly spreads through my body. Today I made the right decision when I agreed to marry Alexei. I have no regrets.
My heartbeat speeds up as the thought that I can actually lose Isabella crosses my mind.
“I never judge a child for the sins of their father, or in your case, mother.”
