Reality slaps me in the face as I step into my mansion with Aida trailing quietly behind me. Ever since I snapped and spoke to her cruelly in the cave off the beach, she’s barely looked me in the eye. It was a defensive reaction as I know she’s getting too attached to me.

The side of me I allowed her to see in The Bahamas isn’t real. It could be if I weren’t the man I am, maybe if I didn’t hold an empire’s weight on my shoulders. Ever since our tour around the island, she has looked at me differently. I would go so far as to say she looked at me with admiration. Something I needed to extinguish before it grew into something dangerous.

Aida is better off hating me and being forced to obey. She can’t develop feelings for me as a woman who wants more from me will only face disappointment. I can’t give her what she wants. Aida desires a tenderness that a man like me doesn’t have the capacity for.

The reality waiting for me is in the form of Piero standing to one side with his hands behind his back. The look on his face is one of concern, which means he has bad news for me.

I don’t know what it could be since they already dealt with Brandon Donatello the day after the wedding. We took payment in the form of two tons of his cocaine and killing ten of his guys. He’ll think again next time he decides to cross me.

“What is it, Piero?” I ask before he even greets me.

He looks at Aida and then back at me. “It might be best if we talk in private.”

I shake my head. “Whatever you want to say can be said in front of my wife.”

Piero swallows and nods. “We’ve run into some problems with the McCarthy clan since you left. They held up one of our drug deliveries at the port, and now it’s gone missing.”

“The fucking Irish.” I run a hand through my hair and try to think quickly. “You’re sure it was McCarthy?”

Malachy and I have a tentative agreement to keep out of each other’s way. I’m not sure why he’d decide to break that agreement unless the men worked independently of his orders.

“We know that three of the men on the watch that night were his guys.” Piero shrugs. “Two of them are in the basement and won’t talk, but we’re quietly confident they snatched the shipping container.”

I glance behind me at Aida, who has appeared broken since we got on the plane to return to Boston. The confident and fiery fight has left my angel, and it’s a little disappointing that she didn’t last a bit longer. “Aida, go to your room,” I order.

She doesn’t look up at me or say a word as she moves past me and up the stairs. It irritates me that she didn’t reply, but I haven’t got time to scold her.

“Take me to them, now.
