“Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy.”

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

How do I stay on the right side—as Carlos Rossi put it—of Gregorio Agosti? Is it possible to avoid the metaphorical axe falling when I’m married to a mob boss? I’m never sure when or from what direction the next threat will appear.

I do little during the day except sit around in my suite while various people visit to provide expensive manicures, pedicures, facials, and hair treatments.

A woman arrives one morning with an entourage who wheel in rack after rack of clothing. I am invited to choose the pieces I want while the woman measures up every inch of my body so they can customize my choices.

The visit is terrifying for what it implies—a long-term future as Rio’s wife, where I may actually need all these pieces of fancy clothing, and all I can think about is one day being able to escape and get back to my old life.

Except my old life is gone.

Nothing will ever be the same again, even if I do manage to get out of here and rejoin the team at Lots of Paws. Not that they’d have me back after what happened right on their doorstep.

The bigger issue is that I can’t unknow what I know now—that I was born into a Mafia family; that my blood is tainted by the violence that touched my friends and threatened the people and workplace I care about.

There’s no coming back from that.

Francine continues to deliver food in her usual deadpan manner, and every so often, I’m allowed out—accompanied, of course—into the estate gardens to stroll and get some fresh air.

In truth, I’ve never been more bored in my life. Is this how rich people fill their days? I’ve always studied or worked and looked after myself, and at the rescue center, things like manicures and perfectly coiffed hair are a total waste of time and money.

The nights, however, have become completely different from my days. The first two nights after the luncheon on the river, Rio left me completely alone. I should have been relieved, but instead found myself tossing and turning and wondering if he’d somehow stopped desiring me.

Why should I care if he doesn’t want me any longer? I should be pleased about that. But for those two nights, I only managed to fall asleep somewhere near dawn, tangled in my silken sheets and wondering if Rio was in some other woman’s bed. Buried deep inside her willing pussy and making her scream as she came, like he did to me.

The third night, the claustrophobia got to me. I left the bedroom curtains wide and threw open the doors that led onto the large balcony. When I lay in bed, at least I would have fresh air coming into the room and be able to watch the stars as I contemplated my current crazy existence.

As I turned from the window toward the bed, a shadow moved near the bedroom doorway. I let out a tiny scream and automatically jumped back, trying to hide my nakedness.
