“That’s quite enough.” Kev folded his arms over his shoulder as Siena faced him. “Where is Ginevra?”
“I don’t know. Why would I know, Kev?”
“Where is she?”
Jesus Christ.
Even Andino bristled at the man’s tone. He had to give Siena credit, though. She didn’t even flinch. If anything, she stood a little bit taller in the face of her brother’s rage.
She was subtle, this chick. Her strength was quiet, and small, and sometimes, it seemed like it wasn’t even there at all. And yet, he thought she might be the strongest one of them all at the end of the day.
No wonder John loved her.
That was going to come in handy someday.
For now, though …
“You were with her all day,” Kev snapped at Siena, pointing a beefy finger right in her face. Hell, if he got any closer, then that finger was going to hit her forehead. Siena never even blinked, or backed down. “You were with her right before she was supposed to come down. So, where in the fuck did she go, Siena? Don’t mess around with me. Not today.”
“I went to the bathroom,” Siena replied, her jaw tight. “I came out, and she was gone. What do you want me to say? I can’t tell you something I don’t know.”
Damn.
Give credit where it was due, after all.
Siena was one hell of a liar.
Kev let out a harsh noise, and flicked a hand. The enforcer who had come to bring Siena stepped in to take her away. He moved to grab her, but she was quick to slap the man before he could even try.
“Don’t fucking touch me again!”
“Siena!” Kev barked.
The woman gave her brother a withering look over her shoulder, fixed the skirt of her dress, and stormed off without another word. The enforcer was quick to follow behind, but he made sure to keep a couple of extra steps between him and her.
It was funny.
And boring, too.
Strange how that worked.
“I think it’s safe to say that this day is a loss,” Dante said, speaking up for the first time as he moved away from the wall, “and that my family would like to go home.”
Kev’s angry attitude turned on the wrong man, then. “How quick you are to back out of a deal, Dante.”
Dante quirked a brow. “What deal, Kev? There is no bride. There is no deal.”
“There will be a bride!”
His uncle’s gaze drifted to him, and then quickly went back to Kev. “For some reason, I doubt that. I think we’re done here, Kev.”
Dante turned to gesture for his wife to join him, but Kev was already stepping forward. Not a man to back down, Dante stood tall and unmoved when Kev came toe to toe with him. Had that been any other man, Andino figured they would have been quick to make Kev back the hell off.
Not Dante, though.
No, he stood there and smirked.
“Do you want something?” Dante asked. “Another wedding that will fall through, maybe? A new way to try and slither your way into our family?”
