Chapter Nine

Giovanni

Kelly has been with the woman who is like a mother to me, Aurora, all night. I head up the stairs to find her and you want to hear something crazy? I can actually picture a life here with Kelly.

I’m hoping tonight that Kelly has seen a peek of what it is like here. What my family is like. And I hope that my family has seen past what Henry ordered me to do. I hope that they can just see her the way that I do.

Beautiful. Smart. Gentle. Funny. And not as a helpless prisoner. Which let’s face it, you and I both know, she was never that.

Dean stops me before I get very far up the stairway. Dean one of the top people in the family who does body work which means that he gets rid of the bodies that we never want to see again.

He and I have a complicated relationship. He never liked that I was Henry’s right hand for all of the obvious reasons. I’m not a blood relation. He thinks I’m too young. He definitely thinks I’m too ambitious. But I have to give him respect because of his position in the family and his age.

“Are you going to tell her how you feel?”

I play dumb, my patience thinning. “Tell who what?”

“Don’t be an ass. The girl– Kelly.”

“And how’s that?” Him and I walk off to one of the Capo’s offices on the second floor.

“You fucked up and played your hand in front of everyone all night. You care about her.”

I shut the door, and glance around the room. I haven’t been in here since our Capo Jack was sent up the river six months ago. Everything is still in its place as if he never left. The large oak desk at the far end of the wall, overlooking his plush landscape. The top of the desk is cleaner than how he used to leave it. The papers and files are long gone, most shreddded, or packed away. His computer gone, packed away for evidence by the district attorney, but the room still holds that Jack charm.

Dean heads over to the desk, spinning the globe sitting on top.

“So what if I do?”

“It’s a problem.”

“Of course it would be.”

“Not would be, but rather it is. You should tell her so she knows what to expect.”

I slink into the leather couch, and rub my eyes with both palms. “For your information, I don’t care about her. I’ve known her for like what? Ten seconds?”

He raises a brow.

“You know I don’t have time for romance. I barely have time to get my dick wet by the girls at the club,” I say, tossing my head back on the fine leather.

Dean props himself on the edge of the desk, crossing his inked arms over his broad chest.

“You’re lying to yourself.”

“What do you care?” I ask.

“I don’t. Not at all. In fact, I was thinking about taking her for myself.” He stands. “Where is she?”

“You’re too old for her,” I scoff.
