“They won’t be laughing as soon as we go back down there,” I snarl.
“These are the men who haunt your dreams, Kat. You have made them into monsters — powerful monsters. But they are not. They are simply men — weak, pathetic men.”
“I will hold your hand every second if you need me to. Come with me and let me show you how powerful you truly are.”
kitten. You will go in there and make those men tremble with fear, and not because I’m by your side but because you are equally powerful standing alone.”
“You are the only woman who has the power to bring me to my knees.” “Dante,”
“They will never hurt you again. No one will ever hurt you in this house, Kat. Understand?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, I think we’ve met before,” Kat says. Her voice trembles slightly, but I have never been so fucking proud of her.
“It was kind of a memorable few days for me. I’m surprised you don’t recall.” “W-we…” Elmo stammers. “You know my new sister-in-law?” Lorenzo asks with a scowl. “It was b-before —” “We had no idea who she was… who she’d be,”
“You didn’t know who I’d be?”
“It shouldn’t matter that I’m about to become Dante Moretti’s wife. It shouldn’t matter whether I mean nothing to him, or everything. You have no right to do that to anyone. Every woman is someone’s daughter, someone’s future partner or wife, someone’s mother or sister or best friend. Who do you think you are that you can just take someone and do...?”
“What the fuck did you two do?” Lorenzo barks. “It was just a bit of fun,”
“Fun! You kidnapped me. You raped me. You tortured me for two days. You think a single second of that was anything but a living hell for me?” she shrieks. “Breathe, my little wildcat,”
“I’ll take care of them for you now.”
“They laughed at me,” she says. “They laughed whe...

“You are the most precious thing in the world to me, Kat. I would die before I ever let anyone harm you.”
“I know, but I’m afraid,” I whisper. “Of what?” “Of falling.”
“If you fall, I promise to catch you.”
“There’s no before me and you. There’s only us. And I will never hurt you. I will never let anyone touch you ever again. You understand me?” “Yes,”
“Every single part of you is perfect, vita mia,” he says between kisses. “Every single part of you already belongs to me. So you can let go my little wildcat, because I’ve already got you.”
He might never say those words that I am so desperate to hear from him. But even if he never tells me that he loves me, I feel it. Since the day we met, I have always felt more protected and cared for by him than any man who has ever actually professed to loving me. And that is enough.
The moment I touched Kat, I knew I would never allow another man to do so ever again.
“Just so you know, I do want to marry you. And not because I have to, but because I-I… care for you a lot, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“To Kat, my best friend. My wife. The woman who made me a father. Vita mia. Sei la cosa più bella che mi sia mai capitata .”
“What does that mean?” “My life.” “Vita mia.”
“Sei la cosa più bella che mi sia mai capitata?” “Yes.”
“You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Wow! “I am?” “Hmm,”
“But tonight is all about you, Mrs. Moretti. Let me fucking worship you.”
“Have I ever told you how much I love you?”
“No, you haven’t.”
“He’s not my white knight. Pretty sure he’s my soulmate though.” “Even better,” Nicci says, clinking her glass against mine. “Yeah, way better.”
