Gian stepped out of his Mercedes, and surveyed the cars parked around the Guzzi mansion’s circular driveway. Too many cars for a Saturday. And none he particularly recognized right off the bat.

A flash of irritation settled in his gut, as he had come to the mansion for a fucking reason, and he wanted to deal with it right then. Not at some later point, when his wife was alone.

Despite it being the weekend, and knowing he should stay put as he had been doing for several months without fail, Gian didn’t bother to even grab his keys out of the ignition. He was all too aware that he still needed to keep up appearances with his wife, but he also wasn’t interested in playing to the mafia’s politics at the moment. Once he was done with his business here, he was heading right back to Cara, to get her settled in at home and comfortable again.

Or as comfortable as she could be, given the circumstances.

Inside the mansion, Gian found his wife, and several of her very loud friends in the common sitting area. Drunk, apparently. On a Saturday afternoon.

Elena rarely had parties and it wasn’t often she brought over guests. Gian might have even taken a second look when his wife said she had friends, because she never spoke fondly of anyone except herself and her dead mother.

Her friends, however, were not what Gian would consider suitable pals for Elena. All women who had made their names and money from marrying men with deep pockets. Men who happened to be beyond a certain age. A few of the ladies had too much plastic and silicone pumped into their bodies.

Sure, the women were Toronto Elite. They regularly graced the society pages. They were also constant, unrelenting, non-stop drama. Those stupid fucking Housewives reality shows had nothing on these women.

Gian certainly didn’t approve of whom Elena called her friends, but the very sad fact was, she fit right in. Perfectly. Then again, Elena could fit in everywhere. She only needed to want to, and make an effort.

And hell, if her time and efforts were distracted by these awful femmes, then he didn’t give a shit. As long as it wasn’t on him.

Gian stood in the entryway of the sitting room, shaking his head as the maid attempted to clean up what appeared to be a wine spill. Her effort was fruitless, because one of the women leaned toward Elena, and clearly drunk, simply spilled more right over the same spot.

“Mariana,” Gian said loudly, calling their maid out by name. He also gained the attention of the rest of the drunken women acting foolish, including his wife. “Mariana, if the ladies can’t manage to keep the wine in their glasses, please stop refilling them. Why don’t you take a break for a little while? You look like you need it.”

Mariana stood quickly, her aging face flustered. “Yes, sir.”

“Just about time to break up the party, ladies,” Gian said, turning back to the room. “Sorry about that.
