CHAPTER 17

Sandro

During the nine-hour flight I came to several conclusions and a new plan. Milos was right—I hadn’t calmed her fears. Carina was only twenty-two freaking years old. Because of the way Carlo’s mother raised her she was far more knowledgeable of the world. But when it came to actual relationships she didn’t know shit. The few things she knew of men was that they were fuckers who only wanted sex and power.

And what she knew was right. Before I met her, I planned on using her for her beauty and her body and her knowledge of this mafia world. She would stand by my side as the dutiful wife of a powerful man who appeared legitimate while doing all kinds of dirty shit in the dark. As my wife she wouldn’t ask questions when I left our home in the middle of the night, or when I came home long after she went to bed, and she would accept my affairs. Yes, I would have affairs. Sex was important and I had a need for control, to be rough at times, none of those things would be acceptable to do to my wife. I would not offend her and those affairs, maybe even a mistress would be done with discretion.

I wasn’t prepared for the way it all blew up in my face when I met Carina. I excused myself for having all of three days and needing some time to come to terms with her. That was bullshit. Even if I hadn’t…fallen in love with her. I should have taken the time to settle her fears of entering our marriage. And because I hadn’t, she ran scared.

Her running is my fault. I don’t want her running. Yes, I could land pick her up and take her back to Vegas. And it would take weeks to get through the resentment for doing it. I want her to pick me and deep down I believe she will. So I’m going to give her the time she needs.

Decision made I call Valdez. “This isn’t going to be a snatch and grab. I want to give her some time. The men need to be okay with an open ended time frame.”

Valdez is quiet for a minute. “Not a problem at all. And Sandro?”

“Yeah?”

“As hard as waiting will be, the payoff will be even better.” He ends the call before I can reply.

I sure as fuck hope so.

When I land in Florence two men Valdez sent are waiting for me. They got the keys for both apartments, the one I rented and hers. I don’t even question how they managed to get the keys for her place.

They tell me she rented it for the minimum required two weeks. There are no other reservations she’s made so far. It’s a nice place in a good location both for tourists and safety I’m told by one of them who lives in the city. The other man has traveled from Rome.

The place is in on the first floor.
