Semua Bab The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Who would do that? Marino and Russo were pretty pissed about her stopping the human trafficking business. But that was weeks ago and I'm sure Giovanni must have done something to calm them down. I wouldn't be surprised if he started his own side business with them. However, those men are known to be petty. They might want to teach her a lesson if they felt Carina had disrespected them. Although, knowing that she's Giovanni's daughter and my wife, they wouldn't be so stupid. That man wasn't just a lapdog to Lombardi. He was also the one who handled their enemies. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I wouldn't pick a fight with him. No one knows about her and Marco so it's safe to say that if anyone took her, it was one of my enemies and not his. There's only one person who has been trying to get a rise out of me lately. "Balotelli," I say not realizing I'm already moving until Nev grabs my arms to stop me. "He wouldn't be so stupid" "Yes, he would. If he lays a hand on her, I will

Six months later "Hey, should I wait up for you?" "Depends. If you're letting me crash on your bed, then hell yes. Wait up for me" "My bed is too small for the both of us" "I can get you a bigger one in an hour. Or we can share mine" "Nice try" I laugh hanging up. I'm always telling myself today will be the day but then when he comes back, I chicken out. I don't know why. He's the nicest person I've ever known and he treats me like a queen. Why am I so hesitant to get into a relationship with him? I like him and if I think hard enough, I can conjure a future with him. Turning to Concetta I tell her Marco will be late again. "Don't take it the wrong way, Cara. He's not fooling around with other women" "I know" "Then why don't you give him a chance?" I don't know what to tell her. She's been like a mother hen since I first came here. I can see why Marco kept her for so long. Aside from being kind, she knows what to say and when to say it. She has always hinted at my

I don't know how long we've been driving but I look up when the car stops. Fabian gets out and opens the door for me. I step out looking around. "What are we doing here?" We are on the far end of my property. I can see the mansion from here. When I first bought it, I also acquired the surrounding land as a precaution, ensuring I could spot any approaching enemies. "I want to show you something," he says walking ahead. Fabian has been working for me for a long time so I follow him knowing he's not planning on killing me and dumping my body somewhere around here. He's the most loyal man I have. I would go as far as to say I trust him more than I trust Nev who is like a brother to me. We walk for five minutes then I suddenly stop when I spy what's ahead of us. As if he has eyes on the back of his head and can see me, he explains "I thought one day you might need it to remember him" I suck in a deep shaky breath. Despite everything, he remembered to build a tombstone for the child we

"Where is she? Has she left? Dammit Cris, what did you tell her?" "Nothing. She remembers everything" Nev nods as if that makes sense. And maybe it does. I knew once Carina got her memories back she'd hate me. There was a time when I didn't care about what she felt because I was consumed by anger. Now that the anger is gone, I know what Nev meant when he said I'd regret it someday. Seeing her turn to Marco like that felt like my heart was being sliced into two. She should be seeking solace in my arms, not his. I should be the one she turns to. But I screwed everything up and sent her to another man. Fuck, seeing Leone's grave left me raw. Carina's presence felt like a balm until she launched herself into Marco's arms. I'm exhausted and ready for this day to be over. "She hates you, doesn't she? It's to be expected. You left her and got another woman pregnant. I'd hate you too if I was her" Not helping. "Go away Nev, I want to be alone" "I'm sorry to disappoint you bro but

"I like it when you take control but..." "Nothing. Later when we're home, you can do whatever you want to me. Right now we have to be quick because I have a meeting with a supplier" "Oh" she breathes and I can't tell if it's a reply or if it's because I just swiped my finger along her. Damn it, I wish I could get on my knees and taste her. My tongue is itching to glide along her soft, wet folds, and feel her coming inside my mouth. Later, I promise to do that later. Right now, I drop butterfly kisses along her neck, one hand caressing her breast while the other one is probing her, getting her ready for me. "I love your body, Anna. It was made for me" I whisper nibbling on her earlobe. She sighs, falling back against me. It took a while to convince her I hadn't fallen in love with Aurora. As a cop, I learned how to separate my feelings from my job. I could sleep with a hundred other women and not feel a thing towards any of them. Because it's just a job. I don't think she will e
