Enrico raised his left hand and looked at his wedding band. Madonna. Until he’d seen Dario, he hadn’t thought much about Toni the last few days. He’d been so focused on Kate, on what had been happening with Carlo, that he’d almost forgotten his grief. “I can do it now.” He pulled off the ring and set it on the table. His hand felt strange, lighter, without it. Strange, but all right. He looked at Kate. “I want to be with you. I want to be your husband.”

Kate shoved back from him and retreated to the sofa. “You have a funny way of showing it. You’re marrying someone else!”

“I will not marry her. I do not love her.”

“You should marry her.”

“What?” He could barely form the word, he was so confused.

Her eyes blazed. “You might as well. Marriage is just a business deal to you. How can you possibly make love to me right after getting engaged to another woman? You’re using that poor girl like a bargaining chip. What is wrong with you?”

“I will not do it.”

“So you’re going to let Carlo kill us both then? Over what: your heart?”

Enrico stared at her openmouthed, appalled, his gut twisting. “Does this not matter to you?”

“Of course it does!” Her eyes filled with tears.

“I do not understand you. First you do not want me to marry her, then you do.”

“I don’t understand you. How can you be so cavalier about this? Who you marry should matter to you.”

“It does. And I want it to be you.” How could he make her understand? Delfina meant nothing; Kate meant everything.

Kate stared at him, her chest tight. “You don’t know what love is.” He may have removed the ring, but it didn’t mean anything. He still loved Antonella. He had to. It was the only palatable explanation for how he was acting. There was no room for her in his heart as long as Antonella still filled it.

She looked away from him, wiping her eyes. “I want to go home.”

“You cannot leave. You do not have a passport.”

“You were going to figure that out earlier today. You said I could leave if I wanted to.”

“I have changed my mind.”

Kate clenched her hands into fists. Bastard. “You can’t do that.”

“I can and I will. You will wait until Fuente clears you. And in the meantime, we are going to Capri, as planned.”

“No.”

He leaned forward and put his hands on her shoulders. “I cannot let you go. Not just yet.”

The rawness, the almost pleading note, in his voice made her soften. “Are you going to marry her?”

“No.” He held her gaze. “I want you.”

His behavior didn’t add up. Unless…. She frowned, her stomach contracting into a ball. “So if you married her, you were planning what? To make me your mistress?”

His eyes slid away from hers. “Something like that. If you would agree to it.”

A wave of heat blasted through her. Who did he think she was? “And have Carlo Andretti call me a whore at every opportunity? No thanks.
