Gian buttoned up his suit jacket as he stepped out of the back of the black town car. Chris held the door open until Gian stepped away from the vehicle, and then promptly closed it shut once he could. Standing in the middle of the large, circular driveway, Gian stared down the mansion that had become a private hell of sorts for him.

He did not want to enter that house.

He couldn’t even call it a home, now.

Once upon a time, it had been exactly that. A home. His grandfather and grandmother’s home, filled with memories of years long past and happier times. Now, whenever he entered the mansion, invisible weights fell on his shoulders, while a pressure built in his head, ready to burst at any moment.

That could happen to a man when he was expected to share a space with his wife, especially when said wife was Elena Guzzi. Gian was expected—in his current position—to behave a certain way regarding his wife and marriage. It looked better on his image, and his family, when he treated his wife as his wife. Regardless of how he felt about it, he needed to be seen with his wife. Out and about, at the mansion, and more.

Elena was no happier about Gian’s presence in her life than he was, frankly.

And that only made it that much more difficult.

Gian could have moved Elena into his penthouse, and sold his grandfather’s mansion for a few million, but he had chosen a different route. For one, because neither he, nor his wife, wanted to be together in a smaller space than they had to be. And for two, because the penthouse was his, much like her previous penthouse had belonged solely to her. They were not accustomed to living together, and Gian had built his life around the fact that his wife was not going to be involved.

He was not going to change his lifestyle entirely, simply to suit the desires of a few people who watched him like a hawk.

Thankfully, Elena didn’t put up much of an argument when Gian suggested the mansion as a sort of middle ground. He spent a couple of days and nights there, though usually in an entirely different wing from his wife, and a few nights at his penthouse in the city where he was easily assessable to his men and business.

That certainly didn’t mean either of them liked the arrangement, which only made nights like these that much fucking harder to get through.

“You good, boss?” Chris asked.

Gian kept his features schooled as he replied, “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“You just seem … quiet.”

“When have you ever known me to be loud?”

The enforcer chuckled. “Point taken.”

“Are you in the mood for dinner?” Gian asked. “You’re more than welcome to join us. Elena does seem fond of you.”

Or at least, the woman was slightly more pleasant when someone else was nearby.

“I could eat.”

That was that.

Elena barely blinked a lash at one of Gian’s men entering the mansion behind him. Wearing
