I'm going to kill every single one of them.
If it weren’t for her use to provide me with an heir, I’d kill that bitch, Aria, too.
We’re set to be married in a week, and I have to ensure that nothing and no one will come in our way.
After her joke of a suicide attempt, or whatever it was, she’s been even more of a shell of herself. But at least she’s been compliant.
You’d think I’d be upset that my fiancée is a druggie and an alcoholic. But I’m not.
As long as she doesn’t get in the way of my plans, she can drown herself in a bottle for all I care.
The only time it’ll matter is when I fill her with my heir. Then, I’ll make sure she doesn’t put my child at risk.
Over the past year, my threats to her have been successful. She stayed away from Dion. I guess Aria’s soft spot is her family. It’s too bad I’ll have to kill them now.
If Dimitri genuinely wants to take over for his father, we’ll have a big problem.
Fuck what the will says. I’m taking matters into my own hands.
The only way to secure my place in Cebrene is to be in good standing with the Godfathers, and so far, it’s not looking great.
Dion is closely linked to Evander and, from what I’ve been told, he’s got a mean pull within the clans. They trust him. And if Dion mentioned anything about me—which I’m sure he did—it’s not positive.
But I’m no fool.
I always had a contingency plan in place.

Aria: Dion. Please help.
Fuck. Not again.

Aria?” A voice startles me.
“Uh. Yeah. Sorry.”
Angelica looks at me through narrowed lids. “Where did you go?” she asks, eyeing me over the rim of her sunglasses.
We’re sitting on the rooftop of her penthouse at the Iris Boutique Hotel, the hotel she owns—courtesy of Evander.
The cute bastard bought it for her and named it after her mother.
I’d love to have my own business one day. A flower shop I can call my own. But given that I’m getting married in a few short days to a controlling asshole, I can officially kiss that dream goodbye. I push the thought away as my heart squeezes.
Angelica has been through so much in her life and seeing her so happy and taken care of fills me with joy, despite my own situation.
