Chapter Twenty-Three

TIZIANO

It’s been a few weeks since the shooting and everything has gone back to as much normal as possible. We’re all still on edge, but we’re doing our work, trading guns, collecting money, and at the end of our week, we visit the strip club.

My stomach twists as I watch the blonde on stage. I’m not really watching her, just staring forward and wondering what the fuck is wrong with me.

“You good?” Elio asks from next to me.

Turning my head, I shrug. “I need to get back to my wife,” I rasp.

He dips his chin. “I got news today, wasn’t sure you even wanted to know,” he murmurs.

Shifting my body, I face him fully. “News?”

He nods his head, his eyes finding mine. “The annulment has been approved.”

That must be why my stomach is all fucked up, I must have had the feeling that today something big was happening. Looking down at the table, I clear my throat before I lift my gaze to meet his again.

“What happens now?” I ask.

He shrugs a shoulder. “Now, we wait until you can make another move. Though, I have to admit, I’m not sure Di Stefano is going to be so keen to let you leave Italy. He has grown fond of you and your work.”

“I’m not doing much, just following orders,” I mumble.

Elio smirks. “Right.” He chuckles. “Just following orders,” he repeats. “You sure you don’t want a girl from here. Maybe find you a virgin? Someone sweet? Start all over? You only knew your Maci a short time. Who is to say you can’t find happiness with someone else?”

He’s not wrong.

I did only know Maci a short time. I also know that she was different. As corny as it sounds, she truly was special. Maybe it was because we were the same in a way. Both starving and craving stability, attention, and love.

Shaking my head, I clear my throat. “I can’t start over. I won’t do that to her. I made a vow. My father is the one who broke it, not me.”

Elio’s lips curve up into a grin. “I knew I liked you, Tiz.” It was a test, a small one, but this was a test, nonetheless. “You need to blow off steam though. Any of the girls here would be more than happy to do that for you at any time.”

I could tell him to fuck himself, but as the weeks pass, so does my need for true release. You can only be so satisfied with your hand until you just need more. I’m almost to that point, especially since there is no timeline on how long I’ll be here.

“Thanks,” I say, jerking my chin.

He smiles but doesn’t push it any farther. I’m trying to be the man that Maci wants me to be. I don’t think she’d want me to be with other women, even though she honestly has no say, but the way she is, what I’ve seen and what I know of her, I think it would ultimately hurt her.
