Kindle Notes & Highlights
I didn’t have a choice. Twenty-two years ago, I was born into it, and I’ve been proving my worth and loyalty to my father and his men ever since. This trip will not be any different. I made this trip to show my loyalty to Nite, as he has shown to me and my family. Heads will roll. Literally. And it’ll be by my bloodstained hands.
I wish that had deterred me from falling in love with Luca. Sadly, when I found out, I was already too far in. That’s the scary thing about love. It blurs the lines of right and wrong. You choose to ignore what you should question because it’s dangerous and thrilling at the same time.

“You belong to me now, Haven. And it’s time to go home.”
“I love you. We can do this. I know we can. We deserve this chance, Luca. To be free and live our lives together. Like we’ve discussed so many times.”

I lied to her.
It’s easy to feed someone lies when they’re starving.
His lips devour mine a second later. His kiss is like pain—it demands to be felt. So fucking much that it makes me weak in the knees.
“This is all my doing, Haven. Make no mistake about that. I wanted you, and now I have you. Today, tomorrow, forever.”
“Get mad, baby,” he whispers roughly. “Spread those soft legs and let me show you why you were always my favorite.”
Another lie. I haven’t been with anyone else since Haven. And it’s going to stay that way.
She gives me a soft smile. “Luca was always supposed to be where you were.”
“I love you, Haven. Always have. Always will. I won’t sit here and apologize for finding a way to get you. And if that means I get to make a little money in the meantime, then so be it.”
I smile and take a drink from my glass. Haven Nicole Knowles belongs to me. Forever. Till death do us part. Which, in the life I live, could very well be tomorrow.
