“Yes, yes,” I roar at the top of my lungs.
“I will burn this world to the fucking ground to have her. I’m tired of being miserable. I’ve sacrificed for too long. It was fucking destiny that I came across her file. And yes, I’m aware she never wanted this mafia life. Now she’s here and she’ll have to live with it. She’s here for good. Fuck that five-year shit.”
“Careful brother, your crazy side is taking over,” Nico warns.
“I don’t care. I am the mafia boss of the Pitucco family. We are going to war. I want that motherfuckers head on a butcher block. He should’ve been put down then. So much shit happened during that time. It was safer to let her go. The other four mafia families were caught up in their own wars, and Catch and Ritchie were handling their own messes as well. We have an army of men on retainer, which is good because this war is next level. I’ll have to speak to the other bosses.”
“Of course, Dillon will help,” Natalia offers. “He owes you for your help during the war that happened a few years back.”
Dillon is the mafia boss of the Magarelli crime family. Luca and Marco are the bosses of the Esposito crime family, and Vino and Vincenzo are the bosses of the Romano crime family.
I’ve come to the realization that there will always be war in the mafia underworld.
I nod. “True.”
“For what it’s worth, brother, she still loves you.” Natalia’s smile rises and falls.
My heart squeezes in my chest.
“All you two did was put your love away in a box in your hearts.” She walks toward me and pulls me into her embrace.
“We will fight with you, Nick. Just like we always do.”
I squeeze her tightly. “Thank you.”
How do I tell my soon to be wife that her life is in danger?
***P***
After a long shower, I wrap a plush black towel around my waist, then pick up the iPad. A smile curls my lips.
Kinsley is keeping busy in her new research lab like I knew she would. She glances at her phone screen then props it on one of the many phone stands throughout her lab.
I pinch the screen, making it bigger so I can get a better look at her phone. It’s dirty and creepy of me to spy on Kinsley. I’m a little jealous. That’s a fucking lie.
You want to murder every man that had the liberty of fucking your woman.
Which isn’t fair. There are quite a few women who were more than happy to become my wife. But I didn’t want them or any of the women I’d almost chosen two days ago. Now I have the only woman I ever loved. Let her go. Not a fucking chance.
The two ladies’ eyes widen on the screen. Kinsley nods her head at something they say.
Abruptly, I click off the iPad and walk out of the bathroom.
After drying off, I slip into a pair of gray boxer briefs and toss a Penn State t-shirt onto Kinsley's pillow for her to wear to bed. I already know which side of the bed she prefers, so I climb in on my own side and reach for the panties I demanded she leave on the nightstand. My fingers curl around the silky material as I bring them to my nose and breathe in deeply. God, I missed her scent.
It feels like forever since I've been able to do this. A yawn escapes me, reminding me that I haven't slept in two days. As much as I want to start trying for a baby tonight, exhaustion overtakes me. I'll just take a short nap before checking on my fiancée in the lab, where she's probably still trying to hide from me. Slowly, my eyes close and think back to the last time I had her.
Around midnight, there was a knock on my dorm room door. I rarely stay on campus. Usually, I stay in my condo a short distance away.
I open the door and peer at Axe.
“You have a visitor, sir,” he says.
“Sir,” she repeats mockingly, like she still can’t get over who I really am. “This was a bad idea.”
I grip her wrist before she can flee. “Come in.”
Nodding at my bodyguard, I pull Kinsley into the room and close the door.
